Well, Fnac only sells 1 console per costumer, so it should avoid scalping. I just checked Fnac, they expect new stock for March 23. Btw the alerts on Fnac i think is just adding a product to your wishlist, i think thats what i did and received an email warning me about the charging station available, after i bought it, it sold out later in the same day.

Dont think it ever happened. I was looking at the page the whole time on Amazon and didn't once see it show a buy button. Only a "Available from these sellers" link where the cheapest was $976.00" and up. These "re-sellers" / scalpers are greedy scumbags.
I shoudn't even waste my time. Only reason i did as i am off work today and its raining outside.

Don't look for the PS5 and Xbox Series X at Walmart's in-store Gamer Drop
Only the Switch and Xbox Series S will be on-hand.

Stuff like this is such a double edged sword. Those of us who don't have one, would like to know when, but then you also help setup the bots from the scalpers.Don't look for the PS5 and Xbox Series X at Walmart's in-store Gamer Drop

They probably get major clicks when they post those.

I already have the PS5 Digital webpage on Walmart, ready. That’s what I did for the Series X.

It's not bots. The reselling market is already at the point they're barely making any money.
It's entirely demand from regular people also trying to get one.

I don’t believe it. Bots are the real issue. That needs to be handled even regular people use bots.

I mean if I don't get one today I will probably code up a scraper to automate this for me. This is too much time wasted and it is a good way to refresh some of my web skills that I never use.

Believe whatever you'd like. Resellers haven't been trying bulk buy these quite awhile now.

Well I guess I'll find out when the PS5 is available to buy at Walmart at 3 PM.

That's a good thing, gives people a chance to catch one up. Hopefully, I get lucky this time around. I want to get rid of my Series S for a PS5.

They can't even handle this right. Fat chance it's any better with the PS5.

Same this is frustrating. Guess I'll stick with my Series S, PC and Switch till 2022.

I wish retailers or Sony would do a waiting list system at this point. This "first come first serve" is not working for anyone but the bots.

Scalpers aren't even buying these anymore. There are millions of regular customers trying to buy a measly 50k consoles.
