Re: "Amazon US. Best Buy GameStop" - ngl I used to go that route but those big retailers are a total nightmare during launch day now. I've had way too many orders cancelled at the last second by Best Buy, which really sucked. I shifted my strategy for the last big hardware release and was actually really happy with how it went. I've found that these spots are way more reliable for avoiding the bot swarms:

• Sony PlayStation 5 Pro at B&H Photo Video
• Costco (if you're a member their bundles stay in stock way longer)
• Target (the app works well for local store stock) I managed to grab my last gear through B&H and the shipping was super fast, no complaints at all. They seem to have better technical measures against scalpers than the others... or maybe they're just less of a target for the botting scripts. Either way, it was a much smoother experience and beats fighting the Amazon 404 errors for an hour.
