No pre-orders, but I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and see if I can score a Series X in-store on launch day. I managed to score a Switch on launch, so maybe I can luck out. If not, guess I'll have to wait.
I have a PS5 ready to be picked up at launch at Gamestop and I'm still looking to get a 2nd one for my kids somehow. I had to stand outside Gamestop for 5-6 hours for an in store pre-order after I missed out online. I'm glad I got there when I did because they only had 5 consoles and I secured #5, they only had 5 of the disc version available and no digital which is strange, but that's what I was going to get anyways no matter what. By the time is was about 2-3 hours before the store opened there were easily over 20 people waiting outside hoping they could still pre-order even though the 5 were already accounted for and by 5 minutes until they opened their doors we had probably waved off at least 50 other people.
Hoping the whole launch day PS5 rumor thing is true, because I'll be refreshing like 5 different websites with my wife around 11pm the night before to try and get one for my kids as well.
I'll grab an XSX as soon as I see one in store.
Still on the fence whether I'll even need to pre-order and games. Might go ahead and pre-order the the $120 version of Valhalla though since that will likely be my first game on the console since I'm not too interested in Spider Man or Demons Souls.
Congrats, dude. Hope you can get another for your kids. *thumbs up*
I appreciate that man, I hope you wind up getting one too.
Just a heads up if you haven't heard, Target and Best Buy are supposedly getting consoles in store on launch day and it is first come first serve when they sell them locally through their website for pick up. Also, Sams Club is supposedly supposed to be first come first serve in store. Unless something changes I plan to camp Sams a few hours early on launch day and hope for the best while also refreshing the store pages at Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. Hopefully one will pan out.
Apparently there is no turning back now. Since pre ordering on 09/22 MS was allowing me to cancel or change my payment method for the XSX but that all changed yesterday when my card was finally charged and the option to cancel was eliminated.
