You're likely looking at Q3 of this year, maybe more realistically Q4 or Q1 of 2022 before they're massively available. Lots of issues with getting your hands on one - skyrocketed demand, shopping bots and scalpers, AMD chipset shortages, supply chain issues due to Covid-19, etc. It's rough out there. If you want to "play the game" and try to get your hands on one soonish, I recommend following @wario64 on Twitter. He's always the first to notify of distributor restock. But you have to be LIGHTNING fast at it - 2 minutes or less or you're basically ****ed. Hence "the game." It sucks. [Reply]
My son is wanting to buy one with his allowance, grandmother aunt, and uncle's Xmas and birthday money. PS had a reservation system he waited on a week or so ago. He waited 2 hours and got a time countdown got to 11 minutes then got sorry consoles are sold out for this allotment but still had controllers and accessories available. Target had them a few days before online only they sold out in less than 5 minutes he said. Don't really know why he wants so bad I built him a nice gaming computer and he has touched the PS4 since.

If that happens, I'll just redeem my points and use them for groceries.
I won't be buying before August I don't think unless a miracle happens. I don't want to just buy one anywhere since I have free money at Amazon. [Reply]
I've been holding on to quite a bit of gamestop gift card credit waiting for this. I'm beginning to wonder if gamestop will be in business when the ps5 is finally available to the masses. [Reply]
I have a PS5, bought from Nebraska Furniture Mart's pre-order as everyone else was focusing on Best Buy, Walmart, Gamestop and Amazon. I've played it a good amount with Demons Souls, but haven't had time to soak into too many other games, like Spiderman Miles Morales or Fenyx Rising. Been too busy playing WoW: Shadowlands and raid progressing in Heroic. Really would like to play God of War again with the updated visuals and framerate, as well as the other improved titles from PS4 to PS5. [Reply]
