Didn't get one at all. Stayed up late for nothing.

Looks like I'll have to just keep a look out over the next few weeks. If nothing shows up, then I guess I'm running around town on release day to get one.

GameStop's presale is in an hour. There's still hope for you.

Target was that way last night. They got live and showed sold out, then put into stock.

Hard to believe they sold out in seconds, especially as the heavy traffic problems showed 1 minute before go time.

Gamestop had to have gotten raided by bots. Not a single person on reddit able to buy.

Kept refreshing and got an order through!

I was refreshing both my cell phone and PC for Gamestop. It appeared as "Not Available" in red on both. I selected that which allowed me to place the preorder. I tried to do on both my PC and mobile, and was able to get the order on mobile. My PC now shows out of stock.

Yep mine too. Maybe I'll get an email later but I doubt it.

guess I'm SOL. I hate pre-orders. I've never had a successful one. For any system.

Dang. So no luck even on Wal-Mart or Best Buy? Those seemed to mostly work for folks last night.

I think Wal-Mart's line system was the best prepared to handle bots.

Yep, Wal-Mart never went through the line queue, and then I did get through the line on Best Buy, but it went to a page showing unavailable and then immediately went back to the best buy home screen. I've always had terrible luck with these things.

For pre-orders at BB, you had to have a BB account. It required you to log in, then it verified your account, then it verified that there was supply, and THEN it added to unit to your cart and allowed you to complete the purchase. If you don't have a BB account and were trying to use "guest" checkout then that's probably why it kept kicking you back.

Had all that. I set it all up on each site and made sure all my logins were ready to go, including payment options.

It took a couple hours before I received the email confirmation from gamestop, but I got it.

I was simultaneously doing this on my PC and the cart on my PC showed out of stock immediately after I completed the order on mobile.

Yeah, I think I remember being told by a Gamestop employee once that they have designated preorder amounts for each store for pickup. You have to go by and order in person, I believe.

I remember when the PS5 Pro came out, they told me that. I think there have been other releases where they still had a few of their pre-order reserves available on the release date.

Correct, you have to order in person. Its $50.00 up front and then you pay the balance when you pick up your unit.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
