Forgive me if I misunderstand what your complaint is. I thought it was about the preorders being scarce. If if is about scalpers. Yes, I agree. I used to not mind them as much when they had to put in work driving from store-to-store. They were not able to make as big of a dent in the preorder stock because preorders would sell out before they could get too many.Im not sure what your saying exactly. Yes they are hard to get, outside of day 1. Even then people had to hit F5 a million times as you say.
People have secured 3 and 4 just to get 1, I have seen many people say that. Those that have got 2 because they needed 2 is not what I was talking about. I was thinking stock will free up come time to pay because people are going to cancel a lot when they get their shipping notification.
The whole thing I wrote was that 10 percent of customers actually have 30 to 40% of stock locked up. The only people I have any ill will for are scalpers. I see some people call it capitalism but its a shit tactic to grab an item and add $300 dollars to it.
Last gen my wife surprised me with a preorder for a PS4 without knowing I had also got one. I got two of them on launch day. I took one of those and drove to gamestop and grabbed the last customer standing in line and asked if he had cash, if he didn't I would have asked the next. I sold him the PS4 on the spot for cost and tax. He wasn't going to get one in that line and knew it. Me and him are still PSN friends.
Enjoy your PS5.
I hate scalpers with every fiber in my body, BUT I hate enablers of scalpers even more. Scalping would 100% go away if people didn't give in.Im not sure what your saying exactly. Yes they are hard to get, outside of day 1. Even then people had to hit F5 a million times as you say.

I feel like that would cause even more chaos since it becomes first come first served and people will starting rushing the stores like you see in Black Fridays.There should be no pre-orders. People should be required to walk into a store and buy it on launch day and for a few weeks, retailers should not allow more than 1 per person.
Probably due to shitty internet here. Apparently those with a BestBuy app ordered in seconds though. So who knows.Look like it's the case in US mostly, here in Canada I could have ordered 3 of each PS5 and XSX. So I dunno.
Yeah, and people getting assaulted in the parking lot. Given the craziness of 2020, I could see shit getting out of control.I feel like that would cause even more chaos since it becomes first come first served and people will starting rushing the stores like you see in Black Fridays.

Is it?It would severely slow down the scalpers and it would stop the F5 warriors. I think it's worth it.
I find this waaaay worse.
I pre-ordered my PS5 on my local EBgames and what they do is you can get appointment of what time you can pick up your pre-order and only 2-3 people can be at one time.This is Black Friday where there are many many things on sale. I doubt it would be so hectic for just 1 or 2 items. Have you never heard of midnight launches? There would be one line per pallet. I know that pre-order culture has become so common that people can't even consider what shopping was like before the F5 button but every launch wasn't Black Friday.

In my local Ebgames you choose what time you can pick up your pr-order. For example: if you choose 10am to pick up your console then 1-2 more other people can choose that time but others have to choose different time.Maybe they should just have only 2-3 people in the store at a time and sell them on launch day?
That's great and I am sure it's just because of COVID but how does this stop scalpers?In my local Ebgames you choose what time you can pick up your pr-order.

I don't know it would stop scalpers but it does stop the crazy busy lines in stores.That's great and I am sure it's just because of COVID but how does this stop scalpers?
How would it not stop scalpers? If they can only buy one at a time and they have to go to the store? At the least it would severely slow them down.I don't know it would stop scalpers but it does stop the crazy busy lines in stores.
I take "pre-order headaches" over waiting in line for hours, especially times like this and still end up not getting the console.you guys enjoy your pre-order headaches

I'm waiting for a next gen game I want to play to come out first. Maybe.I dont even get it.
Launch lineups arent anything to freak out over. I'm waiting a year minimum
