Best Buy is my goto, but that website was doing the macarena all night. I got to the point of checking out, and then it just loaded and did nothing.......

 

[rightfultoefinger]

I manage to score one on Best Buy at like 12:30am PST. Woke up in the middle of the night restless because I couldn’t score one earlier since it is going to be my sons early Christmas present. Was smooth sailing at that time.

my thing is this sony thing is a mess and nothing to brag about. Majority of the activity was pure FOMO, not like an organzed iPhone release where sites are crashing. This was literally people frantically scrambling to find random drops. IT will only be an issue if the Xbox release is organized and nobody cops lol, and there is no way to tell that until pre order numbers come out

Except you can't count this as a FOMO event and not count iPhones and Galaxies. There is no pre-order period where FOMO doesn't exist, and as always, 95% of the time you can walk in and buy whatever you're wanting to order. Just like every console or product launch, there will be some stock at midnight or day of launch. This route takes more work so understandably people would rather not do it.

Sony advertised pre-orders would start Sept 17. So I'm not understanding any backlash they're getting for third party retailers breaking this date and selling early. It's not like they themselves accepted pre-orders, then people would have a right to complain. Sony's doing registrations to pre-order.

To me the ball is in Xbox court to do things right. I wont be surprised if you have a few people with bad taste in their mouth from this sony drop and cop an Xbox if its easy to get on pre order.

im like its 2020 and folks still cant get pre orders right especially when Apple gave them the model with the iphone launches

"I got the Xbox because I couldn't get a PS5" is not the boat MS should want to be in and if that is the case then they're starting the new gen at a massive disadvantage. Because it's more likely people wait for their initial purchase than settling for something they don't really want.

I just went ahead and ordered one at Sams Club too. I'll get whichever first and I'll offer the other one to someone I know @ cost.

When a company announces a pre order date, that applies to every outlet selling it too. With that logic Best buy could have set up pre orders the moment they got stock numbers. You announcing a date and retailers going rogue is not a good look. And you cant compare this to iPhones because iPhones release everywhere at the same time, so people know what they are getting into camping out on the retailer site until the clock strikes. This Sony thing was literally people going to random sites and refreshing all night hoping something came up.
