I’m planning on ordering the console online when they launch preorders and am just wondering, for anyone who gets pre orders, which online retailer actually delivers on release date? I’ve heard of amazon and Best Buy orders arriving a few days after release date so idk I may do GameStop instead. Bad idea or good idea?

Never got a console on release day before so can't speak to it, but in terms of video games 90% sure I've always gotten pre orders on release day with amazon.

walmart

microsoft.com

Https://www.Playstation.com

Amazon so I get that 5% back

nintendo.com/switch .

Lol.

gonna cop a 4k switch pro when they drop that

Have you actually preordered through them though?

Imagine not ordering through Amazon.

No since it's new... But I'll try it out once the PS5 is out

Man u really don't have to get it THE FIRST day tho bro

If you want a launch console yes you do if you don’t want to deal with scalpers

Depends on how you wanna go about it. Not sure about online because the only console I ordered online at launch was a switch and I had to cop for 100$ more because they were sold out and bought someone else’s pre order. Irl I go to gamestop but depending on where you live always go to console releases with the homies or at least take a strap

Why

Launch consoles are hell to find within the first few months. If you don’t want to wait 6 months possibly to get one day 1 is the way to go. I knew people who couldn’t find Ps4s almost a year after launch

Damn, why is that

Aren't they prepared, they have units don't they?

Plus they said one unit per household

I'm getting one in 2 years I'm not trippin but curious

Bestbuy.com did this for Xbox One X don’t charge you until it ships

Not getting one till 2021 anyway lol

the actual websites are best

I wouldn't trust Amazon with getting my console to me day 1

Its an old fashioned Nintendo practice that has been done since the NES. Make enough for demand but only put out a certain amount thats under the demand, increasing the interest and selling more units overall. THey'll put out a bunch but they'll sell out nonetheless and restocks will be vauge until the first year or so is over
