Bonus 390: PS5 Shortages and Our Issues with The Future

Comments

Check Sears, Ben. I got an email from them about PS5s a few days ago.

I promised my daughter an Xbox series X back in August with her understanding that it could take a while. Forward to just after Christmas, I joked with a GameStop employee asking for it and he was picking 10 up later that day (but it was hush hush). Went back at a designated time and got it. Patience paid off. Walmart online was selling them all along for double the price - no thanks.

I bought my husband a PS5 for his birthday back in November. Got it on Walmart.com with literally zero issues except I had to get this bundle which came with earphones & a couple of other things (idek...not a gamer at all 😅) but I did pay like $900 for the bundle so 🤷‍♀️

Erica

We need to know the name of the chips!!!!!!!!!!

Katie

This is specific for the Floridians/southeast people, but my favorite tortilla chip is the Publix Greenwise blue tortilla chips. I just eat them plain sometimes. They're the best.

Leslie

Walmart online for PS5!! Very over priced but the bundles help 😊

India Dubon

My PS acct got stolen in the exact same way and I just said eff it and got a new one. I think the hackers count on the fact Sony’s customer support will require you to all but sacrifice a goat to get your acct back so you’d rather just start over. Btw I feel the exact same way about Elden Ring lol

Nadia

These are my favorite kinds of boneys 🤣

Nikkii Morgan

And yeah what chips!!!!

Natalia Villalobos

My friend got one at Walmart the week they came out- when she told me I was like “girl you could pay your mortgage with that right now” but her dumb husband was already playing it. She had no idea 😂

Erica Garcia

Wait. What brand are the chips?

Maritza Lopez

Honestly just have this feed playing in the background all day, it'll give you an alert anytime there's a drop, it's the only way I was able to get mine: https://youtu.be/7EFgyxeU5ng

Not a gamer so this explains why everyone was going crazy when Kimberly gave Usman a PS5 on 90 Day 🤣 So much learning on this episode - now I have to watch my Prius from losing parts! And, supply chain also took a hit on Girl Scout cookies this year - two of the varieties were in low stock due to supply chain!

Jennifer Riester

Ok, I tried to get a PS5 for many months of legitimately waiting for drops, going in queues, etc etc etc and THE ONLY WAY that worked for me was to join a paid membership to Gamestop, get on the list for pre order / pre drops, and then get a bundle when they drop. Bundles are annoying because you’ll probably end up with a game or accessory you don’t want, but after all that waiting I was like fine whatever. I can deal with having this lane baseball game I’ll never play. And it worked twice because I also bought one for my brother a couple months later, so I can vouch for this process.

Merry Brannigan

My husband SCREAMS at Elden Ring!!! I mind my business and water my crops in Stardew Valley 😂

Courtney

Ben, I just managed to get a PS5, it takes like 2 solid days of work and waiting but it can be done!
