Free Talk Friday

I've been getting Telegram notifications for PS5 drops for at least 6 weeks now and I hadn't even gotten close to a purchase until today. There were drops at both Target and Best Buy, I had the PS5 Disc Console in my cart, clicked got to payment options where my credit card information is ready to go and the Best Buy app forces me to re-enter my password even though I'm logged into the app. Disappears from my local store so I check others in the area and they are dropping the moment I click on them. I had talked myself into driving to a store 75 miles away before I finally said fuck it.

My first console was the NES, but this is the first time I've really wanted a console, had the money to buy it, and couldn't get it. I could afford to pay whatever scalpers are charging, but I can't do that on principle. I have a hard enough time giving any money to Best Buy if that's the only store with it in stock, but I will because at least in this case they aren't price gouging.
