Got one from Amazon treasure truck here in Seattle, also got a console and controller from Gamestop this morning. So I got away with two and an extra controller.

That 2pm Amazon thing was a fail...

Well that was fun. Couldn't add to cart. :/

I wonder if a smaller store with an electronics section like Sears might have a few lying around.

I'm fucking set. My buddy at Gamestop held me one while there were 30 sad sack of souls waiting in the cold for 8 units and snagged my 3rd controller.
That's against store policy and your friend could be fired if anyone was able to figure out the store and employee.

Oh look...Junior is trolling. That's cute
 
Much to my surprise, Target actually shipped the unit I preordered months ago. Was so certain it would get cancelled at some point.

Edit - I had honestly forgotten that I had ordered one till I saw this thread again.

Kudos to those of you who got through on Amazon. It seemed like it was in stock for maybe ten seconds, tops.

I refreshed once from "Currently Unavailable" and got the blank page. Refreshed, got blank again. Refreshed, got the product page with "Add to Cart". Clicked that, and my cart was empty. All this happened in the space of maybe five seconds. I don't know how any of you did it.

It happens ALL the time. Worked for my VR and previous PS4. Drop a gift card in the amount and they ring you up so it's out of the system. Works all the time.

Seriously. I have two employee friends at GameStop and at most they were only able to take my # to let me know if they even got any more of them. They even said "we can't hold one for you, but I can call you to tell you when we get more but you better act fast." I was straight up lucky that Gamestop took my order on the mobile website today. I feel so bad for people who are straight up struggling to get their order in at all. It's gonna be a long wait :(

And that's illegal. Whether it works or not, that is a fire-able offense. I managed a GameStop. Lost Prevention would have a field day with that store.

We're some of those sad sacks that didn't end up with one so way to keep it classy asshole. Great example you set for your son bad mouthing people who have been waiting to get one
 
It showed in stock several times for me (Shipped and sold by Amazon, no prime though). Never went in to my cart when I clicked and one click on my phone didn't work either. Even scarier it keeps showing back up on my phone with prime.
