    So I didn't pre-order...

    I never considered myself a procrastinator, however I've now waited until it was too late. I tried all the bigger sites that I know to pre-order a PS4 with no luck. Does anyone know a site that is still selling preorders? I'm also considering "asking" my assistant to stand in line for me at best buy, but I don't wanna make an enemy...

    Standing in line at best buy/walmart is your only option.

    Any idea how long it'll take for the 2nd wave of them to be available if I miss one Friday? Haven't heard much on how many big box stores are getting in and how often. Don't know why they keep that stuff so secret.

    My closest 4 Walmarts actually all took preoders and will have 0 for people off the shelf. Not sure if this is the same across-country.

    Friend at work was told to "be in the store Monday morning if you didn't preoder."

    Glad I bought that shit 30 minutes after the E3 reveal haha.

    Best Buy's here in Denver are having midnight openings which leads me to believe they'll have at least some in the store for people lining up. I could be wrong though. Maybe the preorders just get em that night

    Hate to tell you this but the Best Buy in my area is getting 0 for display per a friend of mine. I used to work at that location as well so he was telling me how many people were planning on showing up despite there not being one available.

    For my own curiosity I can as him how big the wait list is at the Best Buy in my area but I remember back when the previous gen listed we had pre-orders backed up for 3 full restocks.

    Yeah. I pre-ordered mine off of amazon within the first 30 minutes of it showing up online like Welt.

    People have been trying to buy off other people's pre-orders for awhile now. You waited to the last minute for sure, man.

    I'd like to point to TBR's first post in here.

    I just cancelled my pre-order yesterday. Had I thought about it I would have checked here to see if anyone needed it.

    All GameStops should have excess for their midnight launches. Not sure what the numbers are like since we are getting about 20 but that's also about the same amount of cancels. Sony says you will be able to find a PS4 throughout the few months (starting on day 3-4). I'm thinking flippers won't actually be able to make profit on PS4. Maybe Xbone.

    Amazon fucked me on my preorder. I put it in on the very hour that the price was announced at e3 (think I even posted that here) and my order was canceled yesterday. I call them up, "your order was canceled automatically by our system because we do not have enough units to ship on November 15". I'm livid.
