@@fnordrabbit1156 it was kinda a joke and kinda not. The app TikTok is famous for giving private information of its users to the chinese state.

For example if your scores is falling under a certain point you can lose access to public transportation or you cannot use other apps which are used for financial transactions. So for example critizing TikTok could potentially give you a lower score. Have a nice day.
So relatable. I managed to get one on that sneaky "pre-sale" when Sony said one date and retailers released pre-orders a day before. But it was like this for the entire day and on the second day I managed to get every payment detail down. It was RNG at that point too. Pure dumb luck in my case that I happen to go see if any retailers had already placed formal listing and lo and behold it was already up FOR PRE-ORDER.
That’s exactly how it went, and since Walmart made a deal with Sony all Walmart stores bought all PS5’s and refuse to sell unless you pay their $799- $899 price gouging. And yet no one wants to take them to court for this.
Walmart allows for 3rd party sellers to be on their website so those prices are just scalpers. I didn't learn that until just recently but yeah, those high prices aren't actually walmarts. One of my friends got his ps5 from Walmart for normal price
@@springfield197 I'm not exactly sure how it works but they allow 3rd party sellers to sell from their website. That allows for scalpers to but ps5s from Walmart and instantly turn around and sell them on walmarts website at inflated prices
meanwhile, in the scalpers cesspool of a home: “So now we have all these consoles and we can sell them at a higher price...” “Wait why isn’t anyone buying them”
Some retailers cancelled orders to suspected scalpers. Not sure if they use bots to acquire large volumes of consoles instantly, but there should be a limit to how many a single person can purchase.
There is, they just avoid that by buying them at different stores meaning if they buy from gamestop, then target, then walmart they get 3 ps5s to scalp
@@jakesnake1793 yes, they use bots. There's one scalper in particular who boasted about obtaining more than 1000 PS5s and he's trying to run a subscription service so anyone who pays him money can use his bot to buy a PS5. It's on a whole other world of scumminess. it's very frustrating that these people really are making a ton of money off of doing this, . I wish we can alway all agree to not buy anything from them until we can buy it ourselves, then they'll end up losing tons of money. Like we should treat it as if the PS5 is actually delayed
The fact that this happened almost *exactly* when I tried getting my XSX is hilarious. I learnt on my third try that I had to refresh like a few milliseconds before the specific time and then blind add to cart as quick as possible
Jokes on you, because it's not hard to get a playstation 5 in my country, but it's kinda expensive, in other the US it's hard to get it, but on this stupid desert, or country called saudi Arabia, it's not even hard to get it
I can confirm this is very true. It took me almost a year to get a PS5 since it first came out and this was exactly the experience. Yes even the part where you somehow are able to put it in the cart and put in all your personal information only for it not to go through because it’s out of stock. That actually happened sometimes.
This just happened to me TWICE today with the Halo Xbox Series X. One website was saying “maximum quantity obtained” when I didn’t even have one in the basket. First the house market, then the car market and now the video game market?? smh😒
You forgot the “OH DEER 🦌 THE EHOLE NORTH POLE IS TRYING TO SAVE BIG RIGHT NOW, SO PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN A MOMENT. HEAD TO WALMART.COM TO TRY AGAIN” 😤😤😤😤😤😤
I got mine (with extreme god tier luck) about a month after it came out, still so sad to see people everywhere not being able to get one almost a year later 😢
And all of this could've been avoided if whale mart and other retailers would Just stock the shit in store or at the very least add a CAPTCHA to their site.😓😅🤣
Unfortunately retailers don't care if you get one or not. They just care that the stock they have gets sold. Doesn't matter if each individual gets one or a scalper with a bot gets them all. As long as it's sold.
It's sad but true. I was also fully expecting the "click and hold" button to come up in this skit too. I had never seen that before shopping for this system.
I did this once recently for a Walmart drop. It was a complete waste of an hour of my life. I settled on getting a PS4 pro so I could play my PS4 games. I’ll get the PS5 when I can walk into the store and buy one.
There isn’t shit releasing with the console anyways So I wouldn’t buy one either even if they were in stock no new AAA games that’s released for the PS5
Omfg the struggle was all too real but i finally wound up getting one from gamestop! Bundles are the way to go! Best of luck and my sincerest wishes for those still trying to get one
I tried for so long to get one. It was so frustrating competing against bots. Thankfully I found a store manager that was taking names and calling people down the list when they came into the brick and mortar. The Xbox Series X was pretty easy to find though. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time for it, I guess.

@@fnordrabbit1156 it was kinda a joke and kinda not.
The app TikTok is famous for giving private information of its users to the chinese state.
Everyone who is living in china get a so called social score, on the position on that score you can get benefits but also you can get huge/dramatic restriction based on your score. For example if your scores is falling under a certain point you can lose access to public transportation or you cannot use other apps which are used for financial transactions.
So for example critizing TikTok could potentially give you a lower score.
Have a nice day.
Tik tok be stealing viewers
So relatable. I managed to get one on that sneaky "pre-sale" when Sony said one date and retailers released pre-orders a day before. But it was like this for the entire day and on the second day I managed to get every payment detail down.
It was RNG at that point too. Pure dumb luck in my case that I happen to go see if any retailers had already placed formal listing and lo and behold it was already up FOR PRE-ORDER.
0:25 Error! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s exactly how it went, and since Walmart made a deal with Sony all Walmart stores bought all PS5’s and refuse to sell unless you pay their $799- $899 price gouging. And yet no one wants to take them to court for this.
Walmart allows for 3rd party sellers to be on their website so those prices are just scalpers. I didn't learn that until just recently but yeah, those high prices aren't actually walmarts. One of my friends got his ps5 from Walmart for normal price
@@PremixedDoge how exactly, that’s the important bit
@@springfield197 I'm not exactly sure how it works but they allow 3rd party sellers to sell from their website. That allows for scalpers to but ps5s from Walmart and instantly turn around and sell them on walmarts website at inflated prices
meanwhile, in the scalpers cesspool of a home:
“So now we have all these consoles and we can sell them at a higher price...”
“Wait why isn’t anyone buying them”
Let's hope they have to sell them back at a loss to bring people happiness after bringing them Depression.
Some retailers cancelled orders to suspected scalpers. Not sure if they use bots to acquire large volumes of consoles instantly, but there should be a limit to how many a single person can purchase.
There is, they just avoid that by buying them at different stores meaning if they buy from gamestop, then target, then walmart they get 3 ps5s to scalp
@@jakesnake1793 yes, they use bots. There's one scalper in particular who boasted about obtaining more than 1000 PS5s and he's trying to run a subscription service so anyone who pays him money can use his bot to buy a PS5.
It's on a whole other world of scumminess. it's very frustrating that these people really are making a ton of money off of doing this, . I wish we can alway all agree to not buy anything from them until we can buy it ourselves, then they'll end up losing tons of money. Like we should treat it as if the PS5 is actually delayed
@@lostpockets2227 why don't they use captcha so bots will have a difficult time ?
The fact that this happened almost *exactly* when I tried getting my XSX is hilarious. I learnt on my third try that I had to refresh like a few milliseconds before the specific time and then blind add to cart as quick as possible
This is fake no one gets past “added to cart”
I did, paid and all just to have it say (on what was supposed to be the confirmation # page) OH DEER SOMETHING WENT WRONG. 😔
I did. Twice. Refer to video.

what about buy now
1 year later and this video still just as relatable

I ordered ps5 successfully in India this time and I felt fabulous. Don't hate me😂😂
even though mostly indian gamers want it....
@@luCRAZya last i checked it isnt there on amazon though the controller is there lmao
Jokes on you, because it's not hard to get a playstation 5 in my country, but it's kinda expensive, in other the US it's hard to get it, but on this stupid desert, or country called saudi Arabia, it's not even hard to get it
@@cubicyt9441 Why you so rude to other countries. ¯\_༼ᴼل͜ᴼ༽_/¯
I can confirm this is very true. It took me almost a year to get a PS5 since it first came out and this was exactly the experience. Yes even the part where you somehow are able to put it in the cart and put in all your personal information only for it not to go through because it’s out of stock. That actually happened sometimes.
“Could you please install an anti-bot software”
ebay: lol, no
Ah the double finger click.. when serious desperation kicks in.
I like how he just tears up with a giant smile on his face
March 2022.......16 months after launch. This is still the experience
Guy: spam clicks
Me: drag clicks
Who wins?
Bot: TAS clicks
*Me with autoclicker*
Scroll clicking
It’s literally like this at Walmart, Bestbuy , Target, Amazon.
dont forget ebay lol
I don’t even bother at this point after multiple attempts. I’ll get it when I get it.
Yeah, what's the Point of waiting for maybe one or two Consoles in Stock, when after the Holidays are over, Stock will be plenty there to buy.
Never
give the scalpers money and you give them power. ignore them and they bend to your will.
Who else has gone through the same exact thing?
me
Me
Me
It still took my money
You know he serious when he started jitter clicking
Minecraft sweaters.....
Scalpers: I missed the part where that's my problem
This just happened to me TWICE today with the Halo Xbox Series X. One website was saying “maximum quantity obtained” when I didn’t even have one in the basket. First the house market, then the car market and now the video game market?? smh😒
Honestly but for both consoles this is getting ridiculous
0:59 my face when my ps5 delivery guy says your package is delayed 2 months
LMFAO
So you are happy about it
You forgot the “OH DEER 🦌 THE EHOLE NORTH POLE IS TRYING TO SAVE BIG RIGHT NOW, SO PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN A MOMENT. HEAD TO WALMART.COM TO TRY AGAIN” 😤😤😤😤😤😤
This happened to me a lot in January of 2022 but I eventually got mine. Almost cried too since my PS4 died a week before Christmas. I needed that PS5.
My son: Dad what was the PS5 launch like
Me as A Dad in 2030: *flashback* to this
Son: what's Sony?
Dad: a long gone company due to PS5 failed at launch
This is why we spam f5 to refresh instead so we can hover the mouse over the purchase button, and have all our payment information preloaded
Big baby brain
Chrome doesn't allow f5 for me
@@Trashpanda115 it’s control f5
The most frustrating purchase I’ve made in my entire life. Finally got one like two weeks after it launched but Jesus was it terrible
I got mine (with extreme god tier luck) about a month after it came out, still so sad to see people everywhere not being able to get one almost a year later 😢
I somehow got 1 day, after seeing how everyone has struggled it makes me realise how lucky I was ( probably also helps I’m in Australia!)
@@pawnpure123 Did you get it at actual MSRP? Where from? (In Aus, I mean, I'm in the QLD Brisbane area.)

That wasn't jitter clicking, it was butterfly clicking
This animation will be history since its so real!
And all of this could've been avoided if whale mart and other retailers would Just stock the shit in store or at the very least add a CAPTCHA to their site.😓😅🤣
Exactly. Just restock in stores and don't announce that it's even getting restocked. It's literally such an easy solution.
If they stock the ps5 in stores people would go crazy over them that’s why it’s only sold online due to the pandemic
@@DecidingAura Limit the units to one per customer and have a security guard on standby. It's not as complicated as you're making it out to be.
@@illegalalien6542 ....this
Unfortunately retailers don't care if you get one or not. They just care that the stock they have gets sold. Doesn't matter if each individual gets one or a scalper with a bot gets them all. As long as it's sold.
Almost 2 years down the line and it’s still the same experience
I’m telling you, this is gonna be a horror movie one day and it will say “based on a true story” and scare the shit out of people
I feel like an ahole every time I watch one of these vids... My PS5 buying experience was so simple.
Yh I got 3 but only kept 1 cancelled the rest
Same. I got one because I have a friend that works at gamestop.
I didn't even have to wait for a pre order.
The guy that bought a ps5 for $1000 dollars and got a brick: 1:02
We love eBay
That's why buyer protection is a thing.
@@horseflyer27272 and OfferUp too 😁
It's sad but true. I was also fully expecting the "click and hold" button to come up in this skit too. I had never seen that before shopping for this system.
When you press add to cart, don’t stop, bypass the out of stock messages. Keep clicking for about 5-10 mins and it will add to your cart
I did this once recently for a Walmart drop. It was a complete waste of an hour of my life. I settled on getting a PS4 pro so I could play my PS4 games. I’ll get the PS5 when I can walk into the store and buy one.
So when the ps6 is out
@@Ant_StarkHopefully it won’t take that long. It’ll likely take until a new model for the PS5 comes out though. And I’m okay with that.
There isn’t shit releasing with the console anyways So I wouldn’t buy one either even if they were in stock no new AAA games that’s released for the PS5
@@pooder3078 That's a good point! It's not worth it yet.
Facebook market my guy. Picked one up today for $500 (disk version)
Me watching videos like this with a ps5 right in front of me is the best feeling ever
Man bet you had to buy it from scalpers
Omfg the struggle was all too real but i finally wound up getting one from gamestop! Bundles are the way to go! Best of luck and my sincerest wishes for those still trying to get one
“Oh deer the North Pole is busy”
🦌🦌🦌
I thought maybe mr beast would appear and give him one.
I never had related to anything more than this
I tried for so long to get one. It was so frustrating competing against bots. Thankfully I found a store manager that was taking names and calling people down the list when they came into the brick and mortar.
The Xbox Series X was pretty easy to find though. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time for it, I guess.
