[Derktron]

Only to be sold out

i never even got a captcha after clicking add to cart

Hint, if you are using Walmart they sell out immediately but keep waiting and refreshing, it will turn yellow to add to cart shortly after. That’s how I got mine, it’s to trick scalpers.

I’ll try this

What do you mean. I got add to cart, hit robot captcha and immediatly get out of stock not in cart. Then it grays out. Hitting refresh will show the add to cart button but clicking on it will give a out of stock message. If you wait eventually it goes to the message bout the next time frame. So don't know how you were able to get. This is the 3rd day I have tried this shit site and I am there excatly on time and they never put it in your cart. Well last time in nov. they put it in my cart only to be stolen a minute later by jack off thieves.

that shit he said doesn't even make sense

 

[leo-j]

Mine said will be back in stock at 3 10 a couple months back, I knew they were doing the anti scalper thing so I kept refreshing and about half a minute or so in the button turned yellow and I ended up with a ps5. It works.

Did you have ur Walmart account ready to go? Like it’s just click click checkout? That’s how I had mine all my payment and address detailed were saved to my Walmart account and I got one.

 

[NoviDon]

I said a few pages back i was quiting , i lied. Been trying every 10 minutes. F this now though. I could of been playing some kingdoms of amalaur on my switch, its my day off work, or AC: odyessy on pc.. (or a million other games) I don't know why i bothered. Last time I did was on pre-order day and release day, both times walmart , both times same shit.

well at least we know walmart isn't worth it. their a no go fucking pricks

so your saying once the add to cart button popped up you refreshed the screen until the button changed?

 

[DeepEnigma]

This item will be back at 4:10 PM ET.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Yeah going to chock this off to bots knowing that people got checks (i had money way before) so people will be trying to buy. They want to rip more people off so are on this like crazy, mixed with the stimulus money people.

 

[slayerjman]

I can't believe it but I managed to secure mine at the 3:30 Walmart drop. It seems to be pure luck(or Bots) on who manages to get one like usual with these systems.

 

[leo-j]

Once it said add to cart I went and swiftly checked it out. It will say add to cart keep refreshing until it does between the time towards the 10 minute increment. That’s how I got mine.

 

[Shadowstar39]

I noticed it doesn't open up exactly on the time. It was like 20 -25 seconds after 4:10 before the button showed. I wonder if the bots are taking advantage of the 20 seconds and we get screwed as the site button is delayed but bots can get past it.

Yeah most of us aren't even getting it checked out. It goes to a message about now out of stock as soon as you hit the capture.

 

[Derktron]

Add to cart but out of stock

Or maybe they figured it out..... you have to be quick

 

[Tranquil]

Damn had a PS5 in cart clicked continue then screen showed sold out

 

[Robot Carnival]

to OP, any idea the Amazon drop happening at all today?

 

[SLB1904]

I'm trying to enlighten the huge amount of half heads in this forum about this.

Sony PS5 PlayStation 5 (US Plug) Blu-ray Edition Console 3005718 White

Buy and sell StockX Verified Sony and other limited edition collectibles on StockX, including the Sony PS5 PlayStation 5 (US Plug) Blu-ray Edition Console 3005718 White from .

stockx.com

 

[Derktron]

Yep, I'm done. I had enough of this.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Alright, im out, too much time wasted. Hope me leaving helps one of you guys out. Going to play something and wait for the rain to end so

 

[Barakov]

I really want to play Duck Lips Souls but this is far too many hoops to jump through for that.

 

[StateofMajora]

All this effort to play my ps4 pro games more smoothly/crisp lol. Because let's face it there are still no exclusive games for this thing

 

[Derktron]

Yeah I officially gave up, stores should do a waiting list like Sony and Microsoft does. This is ridiculous.

 

[baphomet]

You guys think StockX is shady?

No wonder you all have such a hard time understanding the reselling market and culture.

Unlike eBay they track actual, verifiable sales. The seller sends the item to stockx, stockx verifies it's legit, and then sends it to the buyer. This place is what determines the vast majority of the market.

But I can see why someone would think a multibillion dollar international corporation could be shady

i downloaded the walmart app from google play store and simply kept hitting add to cart

DO NOT USE THE WEB SITE, IT CRASHES, USE THE WALMART APP

YOU'LL GET THROUGH. I'VE BEEN TRYING SINCE 8AM ON AMAZON AND WALMART AND THIS IS THE ONLY METHOD THAT WORKED

Oh shit son that is a pro tip.

 

[Elios83]

This is the second big restock that Amazon got this month. Shipments are becoming more frequent and more substantial everywhere worldwide and it's still impossible to tell when people will be able to comfortably get one.

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

[Codes 208]

About that...

 

[Hari Seldon]

No go but I made it further than I did on the website. I couldn't immediately add it to my cart, but it went to my cart at 4:53. Didn't get the out of stock message until checkout, but it remained in my cart for 8 minutes or so. Kept trying to check out, still out of stock. Now it is gone. But yeah this is the better method for next time.

 

[StateofMajora]

damn

well atleast next drop yall know what method to use now

Is the page on the app supposed to refresh automatically or do you just go in and out of the product page? Tried it on iphone a couple times

You’d go in and out basically. The app doesn’t have refresh settings

 

[StateofMajora]

Thanks that's what i thought but just wanted to be sure

Why doesn't sony sell these to verified Sony customers directly? People with actual PS network accounts and games owned?

They do on PSDIRECT

They do on PSDIRECT

Pretty sure I signed up for this and heard nothing........good thing I found one on my own.

They hold DIRECTS usually unannounced. They put everyone in a waiting room and when it opens its random so it's nice and relaxed. This is the one you need your PSN name and password to buy.

 

[assurdum]

I have to say: everytime some new tiny stock appears, I feel really stupid to pray to can spend 499 bucks. This start of generation it's sucks in every single way possible.

And it’s only 1 per account and household, free shipping with Plus. Not that it can’t be cheated, but much harder to do with the nature of the queue.

Still would like a waiting list ticket system so one could be notified when it’s their time to buy, versus trying to find the time and patience. But it’s still better than how the rest of the retail space handles it.
