VERY HARD! My wife had to buy one on Facebook marketplace… She paid $750. She’s been looking every day since last October trying to purchase one. If you can get it grab it your son could play it for a year and probably you’ll be able to sell it for what you originally bought it for. Or you could flip it and make 50%. Just make sure you don’t open the box. You can get more money for it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I got one from Target about 10 months ago, but I got the order in at 4:00 AM and went to pick it up at 7:00 that night they said I didn’t show up in time and they resold it IE the ******* workers bought that sh*t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I got one a few months back, after trying since the launch date last year. Still really tough to get them - you have to be lucky to get one new. But yeah....odd that you have been emailed out of the blue. Be careful, as there are loads of scams out there, 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been much coming out in the way of good games, but it should pick up this holiday season There just aren't enough new games that make the most of the new hardware yet. I've mostly been playing upgraded versions of my PS4 games on the PS5 rather than new PS5 releases. Shooting Nazis in the testicles in Sniper Elite is even more fun on the upgraded PS5 version, for example. PS5 Madden is a nice visual upgrade from the PS4 version, but it was so full of bugs at launch it was virtually unplayable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yocousinvinny Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Don't buy from scalpers or anyone saying they have one. It's all a scam. Follow these two on twitter: LordOfRestocks & Matt Swider and turn on tweet notifications. Also join their discord servers.. this was the biggest help for me. I found it easiest with gamestop (became a pro-member so I got "first dibs") Just spam the add to cart till I got the capcha. Downside to gamestop is they only sell bundles which get pricey, but for the same price as some scalpers I got an extra controller, a gamestop gift card, PS+ for one year, and $50 PS store credit along with the digital edition. For ANY website always create an account first and save your shipping/billing address and card info to checkout quickly. Both of those guys I mentioned live stream when they know of a drop and kind of coach you through it. 23 minutes ago, mrcoops said: There just aren't enough new games that make the most of the new hardware yet.

PS5 Madden is a nice visual upgrade from the PS4 version, but it was so full of bugs at launch it was virtually unplayable. This is true. Additionally with the lacking content most of you guys will have to buy new tvs to support the refresh rates and resolution. The bummer with that also is that we'll likely never hit 4K @ 120hz (usually its one or the other) It's a console after all. Edit: and if anyone is interested in sports cards, gpus or any rarities like that those guys have updates on their discord servers also. Super helpful.
