Sure dude, I have alerts set in part alert and many more. Could have bought several PS5s in Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, France and so on. Xbox Series X absolutely nothing since almost 10 weeks. Series S is no problem and nobody said otherwise.Good joke

Maybe it's a case of priorities as there's a ton of Xbox Series S in the UK market and that's been the case of a while.

Nope. They do seem to have gotten a fair bit cheaper though.

Yeah. I would say in about a year or so we’ll see PS5s in stores around the globe.
Same in Brazil. Amazon had non-bundle PS5 (digital and disc) for a full day last week, and they keep popping up. Other retailers have bundles in stock.
Series x? 10 weeks ago was the last time they were on amazon.

They are all sold out now.
So took about 24 hours to sell out the bundles.
I guess not fully met demand but waaaaay better than before. At the very least it's cleaned out the scalpers!
Good news though will only get better from here

I can't see the link from the US. What are these bundles? I've seen retail bundles that are more of a ripoff than just buying from a scalper.

You are an paying £190 on top of console RRP for ratchet, Resi 8 and another controller.

No they had standalone consoles but these sold out quicker although they are still lasting longer than before.
Bundles overpriced or otherwise were still selling out within an hour until today where they lasted about 24 hours

Same here I want to go to Walmart at 10 pm when I get off work and just go pick it up. That is what I mean by availability

Good luck finding a normally priced PS5 in Sweden. At least you can queue for a Series X if you're prepared to wait a couple of months.

In 24 hours? Damn that is super good, this is good news this means that the supply is slowing coming up and the demand from scapers are slowly dying out

No, just wrong.Good joke
Unless you kay talk about some small meaningless markets.
In the UK and Germany there were 0 Xbox Series X drops in July and August (so far).
Not sure about France.
And those are the 3 big markets.

That Wifi way did not work for me, but it was on launch day so maybe it was a problem which is fixed by now.
I did the transfer of profile with a simple USB stick and that "just worked".
It is also possible to access the profile informations via PS+, if you are a subscriber

Sorry, super anecdotal observations. I'm just on a few PS/PS5 groups on facebook and guys getting one on walk in is starting to happen a bit more often and resupply the same. Still no where near, "let's go to the shops and get a PS5" so sorry if I've possibly overstated the situation. I do feel like it's starting to turn though.

What a load of absolute shite. S is easy to come by but it took me over a month to get an X, only because I settled for a crappy bundle.Good joke

Still no luck in Australia. Most major retailers no longer taking preorders until they fill existing commitments.
The Series X is picking up the workload until I can get my hands on one

showing up in stores is definitely good as it means scalpers can't lap up all available stock, once store stock is fairly solid it should kill the online scalping and people that want one can get one at their leisure instead of being forced into spam the f5 key contests. Not that I'm saying ps5 won't continue to sell out or anything, but the whole made scramble at each drop will hopefully end.

I think Europe gets more consoles than the Americas.

Maybe it’s because the UK is one of the few markets that we actually get sales data from but it seems like Sony is really flooding the zone with that market in particular. Japan sales are usually 15k a week, meanwhile the uk and us seem to be sonys main focus. I wonder if Sony feels like MS won’t dent continental Europe or the east so they’re main focus is staying neck and neck in the US and having a substantial lead in the UK? MS only selling ok/well in the US would really cut the legs out from under them no?

CEX UK are selling for 700 pound! In Ireland it's 750 euro. Demand is nowhere near satisfied and these are the quiet months.
August and September are usually boring months sales wise. FIFA 22 will kick start the frenzy which will be madness when parents don't want to disappoint little Johnny 2 Christmas in a row!

At least you get something for the extra money. And real customers have a chance at buying the bundle because scalpers are less likely to go for bundles.

Still have to go in store and order and be on waiting list in NZ. Nothing's changed. Fucking consoles are still flying off the shelves and not readily available in-store.

What is the MRSP in Brazil?
I have seen series x on the shelf of stores maybe 10 times. on different stores and different weeks, never seen PS5 and they still sell out almost instantly online.
Series S have been available since the launch. Last 3 months there havent been series X on stores, but they still have it available by order waiting list while we cant order PS5 unless there is stock
So basically PS5 and series X are almost impossible get, while PS5 have been somewhat harder to find.
For reference it took maybe 2 months to see PS4 on stores after the launch, xbox one were always available I think, wii u got sold out for time to time, switch didnt get sold out.
PS5 + SeX are first systems that have been basically sold out for so long here at northern EU.

Well if it's like PS5 + game + useless accessory I don't want and I only need to pay like 50 quid extra, I call that a win vs the crazy actual scalper prices where you get ripped off and you only get the console itself.
