It's been a tough outing for consoles this round. Between pre-orders, stock issues, games shutting down consoles and/or controllers, bricked consoles, and now reading about stick drift issues...........ouch!! That isn't a diss to either console. Both Xbox and Sony are having issues.

Had no luck at bestbuy. Walmart dropped some at 3pm est. I was able to make another purchase at walmart. I have a feeling my first order from walmart will never arrive or both orders will arrive on the same day and i will have to bring one back instead of just canceling one which would be easier. Estimated delivery date for 2nd Xbox order is January 9th.

Tried to also see if i could get a PS5 but they were much more difficult to add to cart.

Fingers crossed it goes through for you guys!

Edit...what a gauntlet its been trying to get these bad boys right? Craziest launch I've ever been a part of and I've pretty much seen them all.

Thanks brotha! Wasn't really expecting to either but am grateful to have one coming my way most definitely. I can now officially start feeling better than everyone (jkn)

Basically same thing, just refreshed until it let me add it to my cart. Hoping for the best knowing yours and others having problems with them, etc.

I never got an email from Walmart.

Sux dude, feel for you. it was actually an app called popcart that emailed me about walmart. I wouldn't have known otherwise either.

 

[Jammer]

I know Best Buy is sold out (according to media reports), but their website still says "coming soon".

Edit: Website says sold out now. The digital version still says coming soon.

I thought about getting that app. It looks as if Walmart flew under the radar, which is good as hopefully the consoles got into more people's hands who actually want to use it.

It's really kind of stupid and nuts really. yeah I'm extremely grateful to have both, but the actual launch and developing and function of these consoles was extremely underwhelming. I've had issues with both and it is frustrating.

Call of Duty and Cyberpunk are extreme examples of these problems. Honestly I think those who are patient and let all this dust settle will be rewarded more than us crazy old coots who lost sleep and almost got divorces (pretty much me lol). All of the PC peeps with their 3080 cards and 5G rigs are laughing at us haha

PC guys are having issues, too.

Tonight's show is going to be on Twitch? Crap.

Been trying since launch date to get a ps5. Play station direct closest i got was 6 minutes away then out of stock...failed on direct several times...faile in best buy several times and walmart today included. Ive never found it harder to give away 500 bucks. Its frustrating. It may be time to pay a scalper.

I understand, there is no official Twitch app for the Roku Ultra like there is for YouTube, fortunately the Twitch app is on the PlayStation so I'm still able to see tonight's show on my television.

I was willing to do the same for quite a while there.Don't pay. Its honestly not worth it. I considered it for sure right away at launch but looking back you'll save money and there will be plenty of consoles stocked in Jan/Feb. Don't feed the scalper demons lol

Back at it on Hunt: Showdown. All it takes is hitting one sound trap — if your volume is up, you can hear this other duo hit a group of crows as I’m climbing this building and give their location away, so I knew exactly where to look. Also note, the muzzle velocity of shots on these old timey weapons combined with no aim assist make this a hell of a shot.
