True, but all they need to do is make it order online but you have to select a location for in-store pickup. Like Target, Walmart and everyone should do.

My local gamestop doesn't know whats happening either, they said it would be online. I was getting food so I dropped by physically too since I was only a few minutes away.
Honestly better than having people line up at Walmart every morning shooting blind
I saw a bunch of tweets, but I also got an email from GameStop...that's where I copied the text from...
If anyone can put me on the list for a Series X I'd appreciate it. But make sure others theirs first. Im not really in a huge rush but it would be nice
My local GameStop is 2 minutes away. It's super small. No way I risk my health for a game console. No thanks. I'll wait.
I've notice most people don't even care what's bundled with ps5 as long as they can get their hands on the hardware. Sam's club supposedly sold 5000 ps5 bundles in a matter of minutes after midnight today.
Snagged a digital bundle. They never gave a number, but it seemed like they had more than enough tickets for everyone who had arrived before 3CST. They probably still have a few. There were also XBX tickets too, so kinda hard to tell.
The employees were extremely flustered... they were just instructed to look for an email around 2pm and had no idea what was about to happen to them. Called my nephew to tell him to get to a Gamestop and his straight up told him they had no idea what he was talking about.
Poor Taylor, the girl who rang me up, was supposed to clock out at 3, but they convinced her to stay and assist. Her mom who was picking her up from work was pissed.

I get what GameStop is trying to do, but forcing people go into stores seems irresponsible. Especially when many of these are extremely small inside.
Apparently you can just return the extra stuff to gamestop
I went to GameStop. Decided not to stay. I'm in Arizona with too many idiots running around getting people sick. Wasn't worth the risk. Good luck to everyone going! Be safe!
You just get a ticket and then you can get back in your car no? At least that's the way they did it at my buddies store here.
No. The GameStop employees had people sort of socially distancing in the store. They were unsure of the console allotment so more people were coming in. They weren't prepared at all. Not sure if it's their fault or corporate. I'm thinking it's on them since other GameStop's seem to be handling it way better.
At my Gamestop. 3rd in line. Got my ticket for a disc version! Now, just need to wait for their system to work again.
I really wish Sony or a major retailer would come out and have a huge drop or announce they will be getting consoles regularly per week.
Im tired of all these resellers asking 900-1000 and then bragging about no stock until Feb/March when you call them out for being scummy

Looks like my local Gamestop didn't know what they were doing. They thought it would be online, and I left there a while ago. Although I don't blame them much since apparently instructions were vague. Sucks that my best chance is still the PS queue.
I didn't think twice about the bundle. A 2nd controller seems like a given, as does $100 in psn funds. As many others have expressed, it is also worth it to stop thinking abiut this process.
The only thing that I'm worried about is the shipping. It's hard to say whether "may not arrive by Christmas" is a true estimate or Gamestop doing some ass-covering.
There is also this irrational feeling that I will see PS5s available on shelves all over now that my $700 is locked in.

I'm at my Gamestop right now. A few people in line ahead of me, fingers crossed...
Could...could it finally be over?

The lowest number i've seen is 7. So you may have a chance.
The dream is dead.
I did not realize there were 13 other people in the Gamestop before me...
Between this and Antonline not shipping my order after a month with no help from customer support, I feel like someone's cosmic plaything lol.

Got it! I was second in line, waited around 20 minutes for the poor guy to even find out that this was happening. Then the system crashed. Then he had to wait for permission from Sony to allow the orders. He made a phone call for another employee to come in and help out. Poor folks probably figured they'd have a peaceful Saturday only to have corporate drop this on their laps.
Fortunately there weren't too many people around, and we were all spaced out pretty well outside. They didn't even manage to sell all their XBoxes. A think they still had a couple Series S systems available.
The agony of finding one is over. Now the dread of waiting for the shipment begins.

Went to my local Tesco earlier for a few things, just in time to see some folks collecting their reserved consoles. Was like a military operation, they had extra staff escorting the consoles from the storeroom to the till, then walking the customer out of the store. Got chatting to one of the assistants, who looked a little worried. Someone had posted on Facebook that the store had some consoles and so a crowd was now gathering. Offers had been made to staff and to the folks leaving with consoles, along with a few cross words. I don't remember it being this bad, even in the early days of the Wii.
Yea seeing this crazy demand is insane. And I fear it's not going to end anytime soon. I might slow up a tiny bit after Christmas, but not by much. I can see this lasting past February and I'm sure Sony is already producing these at full capacity.
Wow I walked up to GS none the wiser today and ALMOST got one. They had 8, I was 10th. Totally random chance and almost got super lucky.

Thanks! I was pretty much only going for Sony Direct drops at that point but got super lucky.
Yes I am going to be trying to snag some systems for users on here.
I know we are supposed to be happy for others but...
I missed out on so many that I felt the same everytime.
I am finally done for the holidays. Got my 3080, 5900x, and now PS5. Time to enjoy my time off.
