Here’s a Trick on How to Get a Xbox One or PS4 Near Launch if You Didn’t Pre-Order

If you didn't preorder a PS4 or Xbox One and now you're regretting it, there's still hope for you to get one near launch if you live in the US (or in a country with similar retail practices) here's a trick on how to bring that anticipated console home.

Don't get caught?

[Abriael]

lol, this is NOT an illegal method, silly :D

[IcyEyes]

Sunday ...

hmm, I will try this method :D

[thekhurg]

A lot of stupid articles from Dualshockers here lately.

[ShinMaster]

Aww

[BeAGamer]

he mad

[Ps4Console]

Tough Luck .

[Playstationologist]

Well, GTA v is probably the most played game of the last 2 months so I'm sure many people have an idea or two on how to obtain a launch system.

Obviously steal a car, run them down and get out to collect the goods. Repeat until you have 10 million and then freeze up and restart.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Or sell the car to a mechanic, drive outside the shop, sell it to him again, drive out the shop, sell it to him again...

[badboy776]

exactly lol.

[jackanderson1985]

show up and hope for the best?

[FullmetalRoyale]

My friend just wouldn't listen when I told him to pre-order back in June.

Poor, poor fool.

;)

[-wub-]

Same thing with my brother lol, i payed off my PS4 the day after E3.

[NinjaRichParty]

Same here! :D

[Captain Qwark 9]

you can buy my preorder for $25.00!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just want my money back, ive decided to wait. i dont feel like dealing with launch issues, march will be my time

[dcj0524]

Me and you need to talk.

[I_am_Batman]

Which console did you preorder?

[tanis_halfelven]

my 26 dollars (yes 26) will do my talking for me

[stellarock420]

you cant resell a pre order ur name is on it and they may ask for id also if u go in to the store they will refund you

[Captain Qwark 9]

i pre-orded the x1 and sure i can as long as yo live close to me, id just go get it with you...that said, if your not from buffalo ny, prob not gonna work lol

[wishingW3L]

I cancelled my pre-order too. I might pick one up around E3 of next-year.

Same as you I don't want to deal with launch issues. I don't want to wait for Gaikai, MP3, and capture card support. On top of it many games were delayed like Drivecblub, Watch Dogs and The Crew.

[Captain Qwark 9]

yup, i already know certain apps prob wont work, hardware issues will arise as they always do on the first round, once you finish the launch titles a dry period with no games will likely come around. pretty much the usual and rather than get a headache over it like the last couple consoles i got on launch, have to call about warranties, etc. im just going to wait.

plus the current gen still has so many good games i want to play. Batman, AC4, wwe 14, GTA V, FFX13, FFX13-2, Lighting Returns, Tales of vespiria, and Dark souls 2. When i have finished all of those, then i will pick up the next gen consoles.

[Sitdown]

Haha.... this is not a trick.

[iamnsuperman]

As an instructor taught me one time, always:

beg, borrow or steal (he did hint at two of those options being the same thing but whatever)

[wishingW3L]

true. When someone borrows something you'll most likely will not see it again. XD

[UNCarolinaBlue]

So, does that mean at 12:01 AM on Sunday the stock "may" be there at stores like Wal-mart who are open 24 hours?

[Man_Son]

most likely close to daylight hours

[Abriael]

Yep. If they have guaranteed stock in their circular they'll have it, and since it's sunday already they should sell it.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

maybe, but there will be a line out there way before midnight! maybe a day or two ahead.

[UNCarolinaBlue]

I understand there will/should be a line on LAUNCH night. I mean the Sunday after launch.

[Grave]

I could go down to my local GameStop and preorder an Xbox One right now. Finding a PS4 (which I favor) is next to impossible. Even though I'll eventually get both I still might just wait a bit and see how it all plays out.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

Can't blame you for that. I preordered way in June I need something new already.

[Nocando]

No, no you can't.

[maddskull]

you could try to get one at launch

[ballsohard2013]

We'll here in NYC some people for whatever reason
Have cancelled their ps4 pre-order so I was able to
Put down $100 last night to get a ps4. If demand goes up enough, I'll off
My ps4 for a couple of dollars if it's worth the time and
Just kick back with my x1.

Not like we'll miss much while each system builds their library.

[BoriboyShoGUN]

I assume those guys couldnt finish paying it off and cancelled the whole thing. Thats why I started early basically on layaway!

[Bobby Kotex]

Because we all know the Xbone isn't selling out any time soon.

[Hazmat13]

get on your knees and swallow the saltiest thing you know, your pride and beg for one.

[Nocando]

I preordered about 2 weeks after the announcements and Amazon shows I won't be getting mine until January.

[That_Guy2u2]

Does it involve a gun?

[Cyanide85]

Got my PS4 with day one guarantee paid for so just have to pick it up :-) the thing that sucks the most is that I live in Europe and have to wait until Nov 29 :-(

[luisloco]

come to Puerto Rico there xbox one like crazy without reserve. ps4 sold

[Tunerboy8732]

As soon as GameStop opened up preorders I dropped 300 down on mine back in July and payed it off about a month ago.I knew they were gonna sell out quick.

[Tzuno]

Buy a PC, you will be happy like a kid.

[Sky Lazarus]

I work at target and this method will not work. Fail article.

[dells17]

I also found it useful if you did not purchase a ps4/xbone but instead if you purchase a wii u you can fully utilize its power which is greater than a gtx titan.
