So....I want to buy a PS4...

Not sure if a dumb question. Can't you just preorder at Gamestop or something? I maybe heading down gamestop in the weekend to maybe preorder, in hope I can get one with Thief, & I do not want people to laugh at me.

Not sure you can preorder something that's already out though. If it's a new bundle then I think you can preorder.

I am in Tucson AZ as well. If I see one I will post here.

Alrighty. Thanks bro!

Just want to add that the guy who manages the electronic department @ the wal mart on broadway and randolf is a dick.

I asked him if they had PS4's and I swear he laughed at me.
Seriously I almost want to go back and file a complaint or something.
 
try not to get it from Amazon, There selling the ones that were sabotaged by the pissed off college students.

Unless, your willing to do the extra step after you get it. Which is call Sony to set up sending you a new one.

you can get lucky though.

Wait, what?
 
Just keep reloading the PS4 page on Amazon. They had them the other night for a few hours. That's my plan whenever my money comes in.
 
I don't know if local stores will ship you their inventory or not. Every single time I have been into my local Walmart, Target and Gamestop, they have had inventory in stock. In fact, the Gamestop at East Towne Mall always puts the empty boxes of PS4 (display boxes), with the white tag with black writing that says $399.99 in stock, and they put them into the hall outside the store. I saw the Gametop ones in stock again just this past Friday, Valentines. I was at the mall picking up a couple valentines items for my woman.

The ones I always see in stock when I am there:

Gamestop
Address: 54 E Towne Mall, Madison, WI 53704
Phone 608 249-3114

Target Sun Prairie
Address: 660 S Grand Ave, Sun Prairie, WI 53590
Phone 608 834-5600

Walmart Sun Prairie
Address: 1905 McCoy Rd, Sun Prairie, WI 53590
Phone 608 837-6339

Like I said, I don't know if they will take inventory off their store floor and ship it to you (doubt it), but you could ask.
Even Cow-tippers can't get enough of the PS4.

Cow tippers rofl. Yeah, i have preferred the Xbox brand overall for years now but anyone saying you can find a PS4 anywhere right now is in bed with Microsoft. They be getting paid good.

Agreed!!
 
People saying they are easy to find obviously aren't looking for one or got lucky once and think it's like that everywhere. Cegar said the Gamestops in DC have them sitting there collecting dust so I wanted to see if he was telling the truth since the website said nothing in stock for 100 miles in his area. I called all the 3 stores in DC and the 5 others that show up as the closest stores outside of DC and NONE of them had any in stock and said all they could do was order a bundle for me online if I wanted to come in and pay for it in person. They all said once the consoles come in they are sold within a day so he is either making crap up or going to a gamestop nobody knows about.

Again to the smart asses out there, this doesn't mean that they are impossible to find it just means they go quickly once they come in, it's a lot harder to find a PS4 than it is an X1 there is no argument to be had there. BTW checking that area in DC today shows 3 have low stock and that's all that showed up within 100 miles of DC,, 2 in Maryland and 1 in Delaware, quickly called all 3 and they are all sold out.

I wasted more of my time (I need more to do lol) and called all 3 of those stores, Target and Gamestop are both sold out and Walmart won't answer their phones.The gamestop guy told me (as everyone that I have called does) that I can come in and order and they'll have a bundle shipped to my house, the bundles ship on the 28th at the earliest.
 
Yeah I was looking in earlyish January around web sites just because of dorky threads like this and there were quite a few PS4's around, which fit my own experience being out and about.

But check the same sites now and they are gone.

Selling only 300k in January means they were most likely supply limited, and it looks even worse for February.

Honestly think Sony should be shipping more to NA.

That's a bummer. Keep trying.
 
I checked the areas around me on the Walmart site earlier and only one store within like 50 miles says they have them. I haven't looked often at my own Walmart but i've never seen a PS4 there the handful of times i have. GameStop's here are sold out.

This sucks really, i hope i can find one when the time comes. Screw paying extra and screw waiting an extra week or two to get a PS4. :(
 
Has to be due to the fact you live in WI (why? ;))....

They are all over the place in the local stores near me (GA)...

That's not to say supply isn't still limited or that they don't sell out week to week, but I've seen them fairly regularly in stock the past several times I've been in Walmart and Target over the past several weeks now.... just saw 3 in stock earlier this week when we were getting a new cell phone at Target...

LOL.....who told you that?? Nobody lives in Wisconsin..:laugh:
I live in Tucson, Arizona.....and besides the water drought we have here it looks like from Tucson to San Diego there isn't a single PS4...
