PS5

Apparently the only way to get one is to adopt a bot as they say.  I switched from PC to PlayStation4 4 years ago but my PS4 died.  I tried to buy PS5 but Im not able to beat the bots.  Even when I add it to cart and click submit somehow my transaction always errors out and then it goes out of stock.  Scalpers use bots to hoard PS5, inflate the market and then sell x3 the price.  Looks like I will be switching back to PC and canceling my PS subscription.  I think Scalpers hoarding PS5 will end up hurting Sony.

Hot stock app.

I have bought 3.

I have also bought numerous GPUs. And built PCs.  If you think the PS5 is hard to get, try GPUs.

I’ve kept some and resold some. Had to find a way to pay some unexpected car bills.

App will tell you when it’s in stock on any site you want and makes it very easy to beat the bots. At least for me.

For the best shot at getting one, he recommends two things:

1.) buying a bundle (re-sellers usually avoid bundles since they then have to attempt to sell even higher since it comes with a game or 2 and an extra controller) making it even harder to move since they're buying the bundle for ~$600-700 then have to try and re-sell it for $1000+.

2.) signing up for GameStop's "Pro" membership (it's like $15 for a year) because when GameStop has a stock drop, it usually runs out before opening to the general public. People that are using bots to buy up stock won't sign up for a membership like that; they also email you ahead of time telling you when the stock will go live

I signed up for GameStop Pro and tried it the next time he announced a PS5 restock and it worked. I didn't end up placing the order, but I was able to add it to my cart and go all the way through checkout process and all I had to do was hit "Place Order". I held off that time and was going to buy the next drop and I'm glad I did because then the hurricane hit so I'll have to hold off a bit longer. 😅

He usually does a livestream on YouTube during these drops and is trying himself and you'll see people commenting saying it worked and all and people tweeting him their order confirmations.

I got GameStop pro membership and 3 times I was able to add it to cart and 3 times Place Order button did not worked and then it went out of stock.  It kept saying too many orders are being submitted.

Been trying for a about a week but no luck yet.  Stockx worries me with scams or I would have dropped 800 on one.  Glad I didn’t 

Yea, same.  I will try to use another trick.  I have been trying to buy it for 2-3 weeks.  Almost bought it at least 6-7 times.  Had it in my cart and all.

Ah I feel you, that's odd. Most of the people I seen having problems had trouble just adding it to the cart. The time I had tried it, it added to the cart and I was on the last screen before hitting "Place Order" debating if I should order it and stayed like that for 30-45 minutes before I saw people commenting that they were sold out.

Yeah I guess the Wal Mart idea is bull.  I was on there and had add to cart but then technical difficulties popped up.  Fug this

Yea, they announce it to the world and they are gone within few seconds.  I’m sure they are strategy behind it.  Walmart sells ps5 almost every day for 1 minute.  They have thousands of them in stock.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
