Bro you got owned by everybody in here and look like an idiot.
oh shit, "Bro". Did I get "Owned" on a video game forum!?
Why? It's a new console Xmas gift. People been doing it since the 80s.
Why? My father gifted me a fucking sega saturn for christmas when i was little, his son is super lucky
Just log out.
Ps4 pro is being phased out I believe. I don’t think they’re produced anymore. If you have one, it’s quite valuable at the moment and worth some good trade in value
On the one hand...you could be right. I know I wasn't in the market for a Series S. On the other hand, this could all be playing out exactly as Microsoft has forseen it...
Do credit cards work like that? That is fucking dreadful lol.
Best Buy is only for local stores. Even if it says add to cart it’s not for shipping. It could just be one store in the middle of nowhere.
Please pass this on to your son Christmas morning.First, hear my tale of woe. It is true, 100%. I actually purchased a year long membership to WAL-FUCKING-MART, so that I might get an early-bird shot at a PS5 for my 14 year-old son. I am one of the lucky few that got placed in a virtual line, which seems to be a clever way to avoid crashing the website, and they tell me it could take up to 33 minutes. FUCK YEAH, I'LL WAIT!
I've got my AMEX lined up for this purchase. I barely use it and they're always, and I mean ALWAYS, emailing me telling me they've increased my spending limit. THIS baby's got my back! The minutes tick down...8...7...6...
SUDDENLY, I'm in line with a 10 minute timer to complete my purchase. WOOHOO! IT'S IN THE BAG, MY SON!!!
[DECLINED]
WTaF?!?!?
The timer is counting down...7...6...
An email pops in from AMEX: Did you just try to make a 499.00 purchase from Wal-Mart?
[YES] [NO]
It's like a FUCKING love letter from a 5th grader!
...5..
Thank you for you response. Feel free to go back and resume your purchase.
There's still time on the clock! I press purchase...
Your shopping cart is empty.
So, that was my PS5 tale. On to my point. I went back in to the Wal-Mart website to see what I could salvage. PS5 Hah! Xbox Series X Hah! Xbox Series S wut? There it sat. I put it in my cart and purchased it; half because I couldn't believe it was happening. It arrives Saturday. The thing is...I kept checking, and the Series S was available for...like...24 hours on Wal-Mart during full-blown Black Friday madness, when LITERALLY nothing else next-gen or Switch OLED had stock.
This is either going to be a breakout month for Microsoft for the November NPDs, or nobody wants an Xbox Series S, of which I am no longer a member of. Has Microsoft been stockpiling Xbox Series S' in conjunction with Wal-Mart on Black Friday?
If you think this is getting cucked financially then you definitely don’t want to go near crypto haha. Oh you wanna buy a PS5 for $499 with crypto? That’ll be $599 after all the bloody fees. Crypto is not for buying things, it’s basically just speculative shares that can be and are manipulated by rich people.
Nah, if crypto were normally accepted as a currency, there would barely be any fees. We're talking 1-2 dollars with BTC/ETH and much lower with other currencies.
I paid R$3980 here with cashback and selling the game it has come with, this comes to about US$714, so if you take in consideration that the brazilian goverment mafia tax the shit out of it you realize the price is kind of good actually.
Maybe as late as a decade ago. I'll look again on Friday, of course, but I'll have things like...uhhh...work to contend with.
I can get one, but that storage is nope from me. I want to download 10 games, and change between them. I aint playing on a 325gb system. no way in hell. Even when I like the design, I am not gonna bother myself with it.
I think PS4 Pro production was terminated this July or June.
How is that extreme? I got ps3 for christmas as a 7th grader
Well, it's a 500 dollar console. It's a lot of money for a Christmas present for a kid.
We gotta adapt with the times, and consoles are more expensive now.
When I would get a console, I never expected another $500 item every year after that. My parents knew the deal cause they had been getting me games since the PS1 days
It must depend on the customer and credit limit. I got a large flooring order from Home Depot flagged and cancelled. It was several k. I called my CC company and complained and told them it was going to delay my whole project by a week which was true and they gave me 20 bucks credit via points and never fucked with my purchases again.
You know what's funny is I actually bought a store display Wii U from a chain called Hastings (which shuttered their doors during the Obama administration), and it was in better shape than my own gamepad lol.
It's like if given the choice between a black and a white car you *never* choose the black one. White Wii U owner here as well for that reason.lol that glossy finish picked up hairline scratches like a motherfucker.
I was literally the only one at the launch day line who bought a white one. It was full of hardcore Nintendo fans asking why???? I said cause hairline scratches are barely visible on the white model. And we'll all need an external HDD anyway regardless of which one you buy, so why not go for the model that's still going to be looking good in a month. Ohhhhh was I right
I think a 1080p OLED and a Series S might be a fucking compelling combo.
No it hasn't. It's easier to get than the XSX or the PS5 but they still sell out all the time. And you literally cannot buy one for retail on Ebay, why even make up something that is so easily debunked? Scalpers have been selling a ton of them.
