I'm not from the US, so I can't test if this would go through the payment process or not.
Someone should try it and be the first to know.

They give you a discount for Xbox Game Ultimate and somehow that is applied to the second console (that may be in their system as Game Pass)
Consoles are limited to 1 unit, but thanks to the new Fortnite Bundle, you can put 2 in the cart.

 

[Punished Miku]

I dont think Gamestop is profitable enough to ignore it. Theyll probably cancel all the mistakes once they find out. Someone like Amazon or Walmart mayyyyyyy have ignored it. But I doubt it.

Good luck.

 

[SportsFan581]

A boon for Ebay sellers. You've got to wonder if they actually ship that.

 

[kingwingin]

I don't even want 1

go away then

they'll just cancel it. anyway there's no point having two unless you're a PoS eBay scalper

 

[prinz_valium]

I have 3 Series S
One in the living room, one in the bedroom and one at my old child's room at my parents.

price was all 3 was still less than 1 PS5 at Ebay
If you have 2 kids, this is the perfect Christmas gift.

But I have no idea if it would be honored.
I didn't see this on socials yet. Not CAG or Twitter. So there is still a chance.

I know a person who has 5 PS5's.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Their refurbished are under $300, but I've had bad luck with refurbished consoles in the past. I had to return 3 refurbished original Xbox consoles at EB Games because they kept freezing on me years ago. The Series S is already at a good price. I'd be shocked if they honor it. I've been thinking about getting a Series S at some point. Mainly because I have a lot of digital games on Xbox. I got a sub to GamePass recently.

 

[jshackles]

Giving it a try because they'd make nice Christmas gifts for a few people I know. Totally expecting it to be cancelled though.

 

[eastcoastkody]

well. i'll let yall know what happens. Im sure it will be cancelled tomorrow

I knew a guy who got 10 PS5s at launch. He just scrounged around smaller stores selling games and he laughed how easy it was. Everyone else probably bee-lined wasting time checking Amazon and Best Buy and Walmart.

Nice. Wish you both the best of luck.
Lets hope this doesn't make the round on the whole internet, so you can have a nice Christmas present.

 

[STARSBarry]

This is indeed the man I was thinking of.

It was silly easy getting a PS5 for launch as stores had preorders up for days before filling up, hard to imagine now

ive had a series X since launch. I would just give one of these to my friend and scrap the other on ebay tbh.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

If you stick 3 of them together it turns into a Series X

 

[Meraxes]

Considering PS5 launch was online only. I doubt this is true.

 

[Mr Moose]

That's a hell of a deal if it works.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Ehh, I bought 3 PS4s and a X1S over the course of last gen for Christmas and birthday gifts.

Considering PS5 launch was online only. I doubt this is true.

Unless the guy is lying (coworker), he claims he got them early this year. Not launch preorders. You never know, he could be BS'ing.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Not true as my Gamestop had preorders open for days after they went live and picked up in store

He may have gotten his early as did I.

I spoke with Mod of War towards the end of last year prior to launch and told him I would be getting my PS5 early and was going to share pics with him and eventually here but others had pics up before I got mine so it didn't matter at that point.

 

[shoplifter]

Mods delete please, I'd like to receive my consoles

 

[ManaByte]

Just tested here. It works. Tempted to order it and give my nephew the Series S for Christmas.

 

[ManaByte]

Paid for express shipping and mine is now "preparing for shipment"

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Maybe you could tape two together and get a proper next gen machine?

I understood this reference!

 

[EverydayBeast]

You think people want a series s? The way people look to attack gamers for graphics series s is not an option.

For people who only have 1080p (or hell 720p) TVs they don't give a fuck since it can run the new games.

 

[jshackles]

I have one preparing for shipment, the other still just "ordered".

Worst case scenario, they cancel the $10 one and just ship me the $299 console... which I'll then return.

If they do that I'll just return the $299 one. But it looks like the whole order is preparing for shipment, both items.

[DeceptiveAlarm]

My brother and I ordered them. Both went through so far. Lol

 

[ManaByte]

GameStop ripped people off for years with trade ins. Now...

 

[prinz_valium]

Ah yeah. The express shipping trick on pricing errors. That's the way to go.

 

[elliot5]

The $GME Bros boutta be fuming

I placed an order fully expecting this to be cancelled.

You bought a series x for your kid at your house AND your parents house?

 

[Nikana]

In for 1 cancellation

 

[TexMex]

Why people get excited for obvious pricing errors is beyond me. You're in for a "we're sorry" cancellation email and a $5 coupon if you're lucky.

 

[prinz_valium]

You bought a series x for your kid at your house AND your parents house?

Series S.
And no I bought 3 for me and the GF.

But if you have 2 kids, these 2 Series S for just $300 is a great deal as Christmas presents.

 

[Nikana]

Tell that to the various things I've gotten for dumb prices. Including free.

 

[RoboFu]

I heard instead of canceling they just started charging for both.

They can't do that. If they tried that I'll chargeback. Then they'd be eating a $5000 fee.

This fuck face.
