Does limited mean they are out of stock?

No.. it means Limited.. different than "In Stock".. as you know.. because you just posted the "Limited" result you were referring too.. you seemed to have missed that within a few miles of the "Limited" store there are 3 "In Stock" stores.

You don't have to ask an admin where I live.. I live just North of Seattle. 3 closest stores to me are Lynwood, Bellevue, and Everett WA.. my ZIP is 98133. Looks like Lynwood is now out of stock., Bellevue and and Everett still have them in stock.. if I'm willing to drive half an hour a couple more stores are in stock.

What a surprise. Pro-Sony guys cherry picking locations that are out of stock trying to make it look like all stores are out of stock.

Good to see Detective Bunz cracking down.

Hey Valliance, if you're going to cherry pick, at least pick an area that is clearly out of stock within a wide radius. That way not only does it fit your agenda, but also Bunz won't be able catch you purposely excluding in-stock locations 2 miles from your starting point. LOL

Bunz's in-stock check of Valliance's NJ area showed around 10 stores with stock. Hardly the "OMG, PS4 is sold out everywhere" some Sony fans try to make it out to be as if PS4 is on the same level of Apple hype.

My area, Rochester NY, is a mixed bag. Only 1 Limited though. I'd say about 70-30 for Out of Stock to In Stock though.
 
PS4 is sure out of stock. I just used Walmart.ca's stock checker and simply put in Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa. Each location showed 4 stores as the default. Toronto had 1, Calgary had 1, plus 2 in "limited stock" mode, Montreal had 1, Vanc none, Ottawa 2 of the 4. Basically a 40% chance as a whole. Extra easy if you live in Calgary or Ottawa.

Checking X1, it's the opposite. Some holes and there, so the in-stock % is more like 80% using the same location check.

Go, go, go! X1's easier to obtain! Walmart.ca has X1's for sale online now.
 
Am i the only one who doesn't understand the whole "out of stock = good, in stock = bad" idea?

I mean Xbox One launched in only 13 countries, doesn't it make sense they would have more stock in those countries available.

Agreed.

First time I've heard that a video game system being out of stock more meant it was some reason much better than a competing system that is easier to find. But feel free to look at the group claiming that. Pretty easy to guess who and the agenda.

Funny thing, the group which was promoting that the system with more stock available is bad was actually just helping sell the console by constantly telling people about it and linking to those sites! Gamers on the fence who don't care system they get will just use those handy links as info and just go buy it.

With demand tapering off for PS4 lately as stock catches up, both systems will reach a point where stock is easy to find. Doing a quick check of Walmart Canada, it was impossible to find X1s in the first few weeks, but now online and store locations (using their online store checker) shows many stores now with stock.

Oh snap, Buffalo NY here. Me and friends used to drive to Rochester just to go to Popeyes Chicken. We finally have a Popeyes which opened today, over an hour wait for some damn chicken. Lines out the door.

Stop using online stock checkers, they're typically very inaccurate.:smash:

That includes valliance and introllivision.

No they aren't.

It's 2013. It's the same database as someone checking the computer in store would see.

Lol Yoyoniner saying the same thing... He was in another thread a few weeks back using walmarts store checker as some judge of sales.

Soldier Gryphon: available units is a good thing if you care about the hobby. Only reason I brought it up is Valliance "ms are liars" post.

Also sales analysis becomes much more interesting once supply isn't limited.

Actually calling stores that say they are in stock...sometimes doesn't prove to be true.
 
The hell?

Nobody needs your IP dumbass. Lol

Your real name is one google of your old username away. Check your OneUp account settings John.

I've never contacted an admin for your IP, quite an accusation to throw around.
Lol, Sherlock Bunz ;)

Riotous is an ass.

He may have a popular forum, but for how long? As WCG has grown from a small little site to now close to 1,000 members he has changed. He always was an ass, but now it is getting worse. He is a self admitted temperamental owner of a website that gives him a little power. Keep in mind he reads your PMs. He also threatens anyone with bans and/or even account deletion if you mouth off to him. Keep in mind his past habits of stalking people, like he did with AJ.

Now his site of misfits will find nude pictures of you and post them on the web, contact your friends through facebook and stalk your personal life if you go against.

My one locales ip comes up in one of the towns he mentioned and that's false as I live about 3 or 4 towns from there and in Camden County.
He wouldn't know this unless he was told this but wutever.

If the day comes where he becomes a mod here I will make u all happy and leave.
