WalmartThe only way to get a PlayStation 5 at launch is through a pre-order, but at least one retailer is selling PS5s digitally on a first come, first serve basis: Walmart.
The first drop of PlayStation 5 consoles came at 12 p.m. ET, and it promptly took down the entire Walmart webstore.Due to the ongoing global pandemic, Sony decided not to go the traditional console launch route andInstead, the only way to get one on November 12 is to have pre-ordered the console months ago through one of several different retailers. But at least one retailer, Walmart, announced plans for staggered PlayStation 5 supply drops throughout the day.
The first such re-supply, at 12 p.m. ET, caused the entire Walmart web store to crash. A technical error message said simply, "no healthy upstream." It has since been replaced by a more user-friendly page explaining that the store was overloaded by too many shoppers at one time:Similar issues happened back in September, when Sony and Microsoft first allowed customers to pre-order their respective next-gen game consoles.
It's unclear how much of a re-supply Walmart issued for its first drop, but it's clear that there weren't enough for everyone who wanted to buy one: Despite our own attempts to buy one, Walmart sold out of consoles in less than five minutes.Got a tip?
We can’t compete with scalpers using shopping bots, real gamers who supports this network are left out.
People I believe is more easy to get the Powerboll instead of Ps5 😂😂 I the last moment my payment try to when through something happened and was gonna. 😂🤣 That’s why no body is using Walmart for buying something only is trash, it’s been always like that. 😂
Just wait til January
Where are the actual confirmations? I beleive we are being lied to!
It’s fuking shit, literally i place my order and the system take me out and now i need waiting until 6
THIS IS A TREMENDOUS HOAX. I HEREBY CLAIM THAT THE WALMART WEBSITE IS RIGGED BY THE RADICAL LEFT. TAKING THIS TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR A RECOUNT OF PS5 STOCK AND WILL HAVE AG BARR LOCK UP ANYONE USING A BOT! SAD!
I dont see how poeple even get them i tried to get one but nothing loads
Are y’all using the app or going to the actual website ?
Hey what's coming out on consoles that I can play on my PC this because I'm not gonna waste my energy on PlayStation Xbox Walmart etc. It's a bad move to make this 100% online orders because it's making everything crash. The scalpers and buying everything then selling them.
Cause they’re fucking weirdos
DrummerZero626
Worst launch day ever..I had it 3 times then the website crashed back to back.. looks like I'm waiting until the hype clears bs
These robots and buying them somebody already has theirs posted for $300 more
I don’t understand why they don’t take the Ticketmaster approach where you have to fill out a captcha, and it holds your order for like 2 mins otherwise it gets recycled back into the pot, it can’t be THAT difficult to implement for a company of that size
At this rate might as well wait till after the holidays when the hype dies down. I’ve tried twice, but to no avail.
Has anyone been able to actually get one or is it just bs?
Did anyone get it cause my second time trying and bullshit error code came up
Walmart app 12:00pm Oops, something wrong Add to a cart Oops something wrong We are sorry Oops something wrong Add to a cart Checkout Oops Checkout Confirm the address Oh dear! Confirm the address Place order Oh dear Confirm the address Place order Oh dear Out of stock
Did anyone even buy one,or did it just crash right away?
It’s trash
Anyone have any tips on how to get a PS5 today? Have been trying everything and all sites crash.. husband has dislocated shoulder and I have just been diagnosed w a rare condition literally anything will help at this point
Website crashed like an airplane
dontbuyfromscalpers
Why not make a system where pre-orders stay open or after release you can still buy it even when it's out of stock. Every one who buys the console gets a number in line. You fill out the orders based on the number and only when that number in the order is ready do you charge it.
Is there something that Walmart can do to block bots who are just trying to resell from getting to the website?
Not the only error - I got the damn thing added to my cart, past shipping, to the cc screen only to get this horrid ERROR! Can anyone actually confirm whether they were able to get one? I feel like it's all a promotional HOAX!
:0
Amazon is going to get stiff competition for the online market space. Target, Walmart, BestBuy, etc are all getting better at online sales
Since walmart is trending I just wanted to say again. No hourly employees at Wal-Mart stores are receiving ANY additional compensation for risking their lives working during a Pandemic. NOTHING!
This is bullshit. Also they know how big this release is so they only let certain stores release a certain amount for different times?!! What the actual fuck Sony?
we need to ban bots already... SNKRS and now walmart making it harder to buy shit than to win the lottery. A company like stockx where botters can charge you 5x what a product should cost shouldnt exist IMO
This is ridiculous, I never had this much of a problem trying to give a company 499 plus tax. Sony don't want our money. If they did they'd have these systems ready to go. 😤. sony take my money and give me a ps5
Imagine being a billion dollar company not even having consoles available to be ordered in store on launch day. PlayStation and Walmart are both laughing stocks
ratio'd
Lets just all go to eBay and write bad reviews on the fuckers that crashed the website and decided hey let me screw with everyone and try to resell the ps5 for 1,600🥲
can yall please tell me why i keep getting error code in cart,because ive tried on 3 computers the second time for ps5 becomes available,im getting frustrated,these profiters need to move and let the real consumer purchase
WALMARTSUCKS
TWICE now...i'm so upset but ik this happens in the 'last minute'
Probably because walmarts servers are trash and they cut corners every way they can.
Everybody try going on the Sony official site, they just had them available a few minutes ago
I tried it on my pc and phone exactly at 12,had it in my cart and crashed on both,how in hell are we supposed to preorder when it does that and then they are all out of stock with 1 minute!
Keeps crashing on me in the checkout. Idk how anyone is getting through this
Need to make sure people stop buying the marked up ones on ebay.
It sucks, I got on went to the cart added my credit card number. Crap website froze and the ohh deer theres a problem bullcrap. I had it in my cart already. Ps5 can wait till next year idk
We need to bring back in store releases idgaf about covid or anyone getting sick from it anymore
I was so close!!!!!
Big facts. This is wild. How do I get it in the cart and select payment and YALL sell it from under me?
And it's bullshit cause their has to be a better way to do this where scalpers won't be able to get them cause I'm almost positive ppl like me weren't able to get one from Walmart today besides scalpers.
Fix your fucking website
All the bots got them and will soon be marked up on ebay. Good luck getting one for a fair price because greed is more important.
'Oh deer' The story of my holiday
yeah. we’ve noticed. 😒
FUUUUU!!!! Twice now in less than 5 mins!
Cause walmart consists of a bunch of suckass scrubs who rode the short bus to school.
It didn’t crash, people make this crash with bots, so they can purchase them all and sell at higher prices. Same garbage that is happening with the Nike app as well.
damn that sucks
I had it in my cart, I was at checkout and just when I was gonna do the next step it tells me they're sold out. Fucking Scalpers can eat a dick.
Fuck Walmart played with us twice already
Yeah and it just happened again... these websites cant handle the traffic
Yup and it just did again fucking figure
It keeps doing it cuz walmarts trash
How dare other people try to shop for the same time, right? What do people expect, a decidated website just for themselves to buy popular, expensive toys?
Absolute D-i-s-a-s-t-e-r for an online store of their size. Embarrassing actually, and it's going to happen at least 2 more times today... 3pm it will be down for sure...
Crashed then was in the cart, then selected address and then it crashed trying to finish payment and out of stock. Hopefully they keep stock coming in so the greedy punks on ebay are sitting there unable to sell.
EZRAwaCHELSKI Yall nibbas got money.. Souvenir me your ps4😭 miracle please
And we will do it again!
Crashed just before I could pay.
Aridude1 Yeah bots checked them out while I went through 5 confirm screens . What you expect
Yea and they still had some at 12:30. By time I realized I got it in my cart and it was gone. Smh.
It was a total shit show. Had one in the cart and crashed before I could select payment
Hax
