I'm all over it.  Haven't been successful with a drop yet.  Actually survived the 'que' on Sony Direct the other day...no luck.  (shrug)

lol, at 3pm I could not add to cart cause it was out of stock. Apparently the bots haven't stopped yet.

This is insane.  I just tried and got to add to cart, but then after I added it . it says it went out of stock.  I almost think it may be worth paying a stupid scalper  who is selling it at the lowest price to not deal with this lunacy. 

Don't do it!!!!

Seriously, I refresh right at 3:20, button appears, I hit it, it's out of stock.

Not even worth my time at this point. I'll hold off.

I'm updating my sales threads here so I can multi-task.  Not like I'm gonna go commit hari kari on my computer if I don't get one today.

Still going, but it's a joke.  I passed up the other Wal-Mart drops...now I know why. (shrug)  It's all good.  Still not paying scalped prices.

The Gamestops in Canada EB GAMES have them in stock in store. I was there a week ago and they had several, they were just forcing you to buy the headset or an extra controller. so I would suggest checking those stores in your area if they are open.

Yeah, nothing on the shelves here.  When it’s in stock, it has to be ordered online...for now. 😷
