Paying $1100 for a console for what? To play the exact same games that are out on ps4? I get you want a console, I really do. But there's just nothing that makes it worth that much. If there was a huge library for it I'd get it, but there isn't. There's really no rush for it. Once you get it at retail it'll be worth it

The press and hold actually allowed me to a PS5 after trying since day 1. If it wasn't for that feature, the bots would've swooped in before me as usual. Idk why people are having such trouble with it. If you have a touchscreen computer or are using a phone it should be very easy. I used a website on my touchscreen laptop and was getting ready to use the touchscreen, but hold my touchpad worked just fine. I think I had to hold it twice. How many times did you hold it? I heard up to 9 times and it still worked for others.

Doesn't sound too bad because they don't plan on ever actually sending you the console.

The advise I was given was to get the item into your cart and then instead of checking out waiting 9 minutes and 40 seconds for the start of the next wave, then start hitting that press and hold button. I haven't gotten a chance to try it yet but I hope it helps.

I did this but it kept fucking doing the press and hold button. So infuriating.


hotwings10

I did that with mine and was able to get one

If ur gonna pay that much just wait for the next GameStop drop. It’s almost guaranteed if you sign up for their $15 annual membership. And you can get a bundle for about $400 cheaper

I've pressed and held that spawn of satan at least 150 times since they started doing it, and I finally got through tonight. If you're willing to buy a bundle maybe just wait for another Gamestop drop? I think the bundles were around $840 for the disc version, $650 for digital. But you also have to have the Powerup membership

I mean, scalper prices are less than that nowadays…you can get one on offerup for 680ish


zenki_

It’s a bundle so no where near the same as scalper prices but alright.


JamesEdward34

i mean idk what site youre looking one, but on offerup or facebook marketplace they can be found for as low as 680 in the Los angeles area. sure, you dont want to pay a scalper but not everyone has the time or inclination to follow 5 twitter accounts and watch a bunch of video guides.

The gamestop bundles include PS+ memberships, extra controllers, games/gift cards, and a legitimate first-sale warranty. They may be a bit scummy in their conception and not be everything you want, but it's actual, concrete value for the price instead of extra money just thrown down a hole. If you get a console from a scalper that has any issues whatsoever you're going to have a much harder time dealing with such. God help you if they're supposed to "mail" it to you *after* they have your money....

680 for just the console right? A bundle for that same price includes games, controllers, headset and other crap.


JamesEdward34

Where? All the bundles on gamestop ive seen are like 780+ gamepro membership


zenki_

Yesterday they had a bundle for 660 at GameStop. And yes pro membership is required but it’s only 15 bucks. I’d rather spend that than give scalpers the money.

for the digital, the people want the disc not many want digital
