True, but I figure it might be the only way I get one. And from what I read its the only way Gamestop sells them.
Yea, until it is widely available people are going to keep hoarding them for re-sell. I think the bundle discourages some re-sellers because of the price and the fact you have to be a pro member.

Follow this guy on Twitter and turn on notifications. He will tweet a few minutes before they drop. Once you get the notification, go to the page using the links he provides and wait. Not sure how he knows but he always knows.

Also, thanks for posting this guys twitter account. My kid will have an excellent Christmas in part b/c of your help.

He had an alert this morning about the Gamestop drop 8-9 hours before anybody else did. Definitely follow him if you're still in the market for one.

Awesome! I'm so glad it worked out for you.

I was able to score 2 bundles from GameStop and one disc version from Sony yesterday. One of the individuals who asked me to get them a bundle backed out so I still have it available if anyone wants it. Not looking to profit off of it. Just hoping to to help someone out if they haven't been able to get their hands on one yet. Details of the bundle are below:

The bundle includes the digital version (non disc), PS5 3D wireless headset, PS Plus membership, $20 gift card to GameStop and 5850 madden points.

Bundle was $629.96
Tax was $51.97
3 day shipping was free
Total = $681.93

The last 5 sony directs I've been in, I've had the queue countdown to under 5 minutes and then get the update that they were sold out. Yesterday's was only after 30 minutes in the queue.

It went fast for me yesterday. I was trying to get the digital version but when I got in, it was sold out so I switched to the disc version and it was still available. The digital versions seem to sell out faster so I have had better luck scoring the disc versions. If you are willing to spend the extra $100, that's likely an easier route to get one.

I had a window open for both. The disc version is the one I had the shorter queue on.

With a 2TB external HD connected as well as a 2TB SSD installed (once new firmware is public as I am not in beta) I don't think my disc drive on my PS5 is going to get much use. I have slowly but surely collected digital versions of the PS4 games that I had on disc through PSN sales or PS+ monthly free game offers.

And I was one of the guys that wanted (still wants?) physical media.

Are Sony download speeds any better on the PS5 than they were on the PS4? Because they were dog**** on the PS4.

Pausing and restarting the download often fixes that issue if you haven't tried it.

Downloads are way faster on my PS5 so far.

You might not want a bundle, and that's all Gamestop sells, but going through them yesterday was easy and my wife and I both were able to grab one.

You had to pay $15 to join their club ?

Yep, $15 for an annual sub to their "Pro" membership. From my understanding the Pro members basically get to the front of the line and of course by the time non-members can get a chance the units are all gone.

This. Basically you pay $15 to get one. The bundles aren't great but if you are nice to the guys at GameStop, I've heard you can ask to swap out games. Gotta find the right guy I suppose.

Are there any multiplayer shooters similar to Halo Reach on PS5?

Never was a Halo player (just never had Xbox) but PS5 users are raving over the game Splitgate on PS5. It is basically a clone of Halo with Portal and COD elements sprinkled in.

From what I've read just hang in there and keep waiting. Because of other people giving up and dropping out, if you just stay on the better your chances get of grabbing one.

No joke.

PS Direct is absolute trash. Got to the time to go in and it bugged out and never let me in.

I have my PS5 from last week's Best Buy drop in hand now. My friend who was still looking for a PS5 just snagged one from this PS direct drop.

Keep trying! I had all but given up earlier this year, but I'm glad I decided to start looking again.
