Playstation 5

That's why you need the Twitter, so you can order within the minute or so. The packages give you a bit more leeway (except for EB I guess).

Digital standalone PS5s evaporate pretty much instantly

Any idea why? Just lower price?

[pheoxs]

Yea it's the most desirable because lots of people don't care about the disc and want to spend as little as possible to get a PS5. So it's highest demand.

the costco bundle being sold out instantly is a bad sign. It's the worst bundle out there and the most expensive. It normally sits for a long time due to the fact it's not very desirable.

It seems 4 or 5 eb games locations have recieved ps5 digitals today. Red deer location and lethbridge also had some.

Guess I'm going to give it a shot...
I tried the Chinook location this past weekend and the store employee at the door said they got nothing.

Edit: God damnit. OOS. Pretty sure I just missed the last one by minutes, I got in line just as it went out the store.

I noticed 3 other game stops(eb games) got inventory after my post. You definitely just missed it. I think crossiron mills had inventory for a while today. Seems most locations were getting super limited inventory(4 to 6 units).

Each big retailer sells consoles once every 4 weeks. Chip shortages are worst now than before and now you have local inventory being shipped outside of Canada as prices are decent. For example I could pay $800 a console and ship it out of canada and still make a profit on top of that

any know who is still offering trade in of the original PS4?

I'm just going to reiterate. The battery life on the PS5 controllers is ridiculously SHORT. If you're on the fence about buying a 2nd controller, just DO it!

I’ve always hated PlayStation controller battery life. Barely lasts a day. Pretty much always sitting on a charger when not in use.

I play 2-2.5 hours a day so I haven't noticed it as being an issue.
I also have a second controller that I keep on rotation which I swap out about every two days.

This guest speaks facts.

man what are you guys doing? I can play Destiny 2 for 5h and its still got 1-2 bars of life (out of 3). My issue has been durability. One controller stick developed a wicked random flick to the left every few seconds and had to be warrantied (4 months old). And now my left trigger on the other one seems weak and will stick on. Battery life has been great!

You guys all need to get jobs if you're worth about controller live.

Streaming is a job in 2021

[dirtsniffer]

used to think disposable batteries were a detriment to xbox. turns out it makes way more sense.

[killramos]

Turned me off an elite controller.

I have a stack of AA’s in the side table. Never an issue.
