This thread is for all of us who have not been fortunate enough to land pre-orders for our wonderful PS5 or XSX/S machines. I've made this thread to have discussion separate from all the lucky punks who are just waiting on shipping, and to try to find some tips as to what might be available for us.
Now, for PS5, I hear some will be available through Target and Walmart for in store pickup separate from the already claimed pre-orders. Walmart has declared times when they will release some stock, throughout the day on the 12th. My Walmart app shows "Limited supplies available online only starting at 12PM ET on 11/12/2020" for the disk edition PS5. There's a tweet out there about there being more times throughout that day when more will become available from Walmart, too.
This might prove a useful resource for which Targets to target:

For XSX/S, some consoles have been spotted just on the shelf here and there, so keep your eyes peeled!
It's probably a good idea to start an account, and get your CC info into the system for whichever retailers you're planning on trying, too - The faster you can checkout, the more likely you are to get a system.
At Gamestop, the Black Friday ad also noted a limited supply of next-gen consoles on the 27th in-store.
I suspect other retailers may do this, but nothing official yet.
Share any news, info, tips, or despair here!
