I'm driving to waco Texas for an event and decided to stop by a walmart on the way and saw this!


Have any of you here seen a PS5 out in the wild before?

The real test will be going back there the next day to see if it's still there, what the hell am I am even saying, 1 hour later 😍

But yer rare as hell

Never seen them here, I think there are backorders for a long while yet here.

I do wonder how that box even got to a display.... maybe it's more of an Xbox area? haha

Either way it probably wont last long there.

I was comtemplating buying it for my friend but I'm going to a wwe event in waco so I'm kinda past round rock Texas and got about an hour til I get there so I'm not in a huge city at all.

The address is 620 S Interstate 35, Georgetown, TX 78628
Not a busy area whatsoever, there we a few switch Oleds and lites and even one series s in stock.

I think I walked by the guy who just stocked them too, there was a employee standing at the spot before I got there so I didn't see if they were there before he was after he left.

I'm pretty sure I got lucky and walked past the employee who just stocked them, there was an employee standing in front of the display area so I didn't go there at first and checked out the switch and Xbox secrtion and when he left I saw them there!

Starting a cross-country road trip to go pick one up now... just kidding.

I've seen a few in ireland but only momentarily. They go out of stock within minutes of being placed for sale. Most of them are not even in store, just online.

I have noticed this a lot even in the UK for a lot of things not just Consoles, I was in a Argos the other day looking at Laptops and at least 95% of what they had was order Online and get Delivered / Pick-Up only.

The first time I saw a PS5 box at a shop, it was a good 2 months before I got my email to pick up mine.
Insane how hard the shortage hit.

it's suprising to even see new dualshock 4's in stock tbh.

if i see one they're in speciality shops and costs around $110, lol.

i haven't seen a single playstation system, 4 or 5 new, in stock pretty much anywhere for close to 3 years now. and that's across both Canada and Japan... :LOL:

plot twist: it's an empty box

That's what they do here in the shops... loads of them stacked on the shelves, then you ask and they say..... 'computer says noooo'

They are always talking about stock due in 'next month'.... next month is always next month again.
