But they do have fake accounts following them (so it looks convincing) and 'vouching' for them (these replies and photos/videos with the console in hand are also fake). Oftentimes these scam accounts don't have a PS5 console. Unfortunately, most of these are overseas PS5 and Xbox scams that use CashApp, Venmo, PayPal Friends and Family, Apple Pay Cash and Zelle. They fall for PS5 and Xbox restock scamsĮvery day people contact trackers telling them that they were scammed out of money (usually $550 in the US) when they were convinced by another Twitter user who 'has an extra PS5 to sell' like they're suddenly doing you a favor.
Being quick to click a link is only important in that it'll give you more chances to tap that add-to-cart button for the next 20 to 40 minutes. Speed is important, yes, but persistence is why PS5 and Xbox restocks are more like a marathon. It's natural to think this is a race – to think that the first to click the restock link will get it over everyone who is late. So those people replying 'out of stock' are actually wasting time (in most cases) when they should really be refreshing the page for every retailer (except Best Buy, Sony Direct and any UK retailer that has a virtual queue where you sit and wait for a progress bar to complete). That add-to-cart button turns on, turns off and turns on again, and sometimes it strips the console from your cart before you're able to check out. Most PS5 and Xbox Series X retailers open orders in waves (no matter how many times we say this, people refuse to read it). As soon as trackers tweet a restock alert, eager followers who want a PS5 or Xbox Series X immediately click on the link, see it says 'sold out' or 'unavailable' and reply 'It's sold out.' Then they give up while others get the console a few minutes later. This is the biggest mistake everyone who doesn't have a console makes. They give up when a restock says 'sold out' There are four other tips that are just as crucial as alerts. It's better than waiting on the Best Buy restock that got delayed.Following a PS5 and Xbox Series X restock account is only part of what will help you get a next-gen console.
XBOX ONE SERIES X RESTOCK TWITTER PRO
With those caveats stated, this was a fairly straightforward GameStop Xbox Series X restock that lasted a long time simply because the retailer included many restrictions (with Microsoft's All-Access bundle and PowerUp Rewards Pro members getting early access). That always a sticking point for some customers who get rejected. You also need to go through a credit check, like you would when signing up for a new smartphone plan. Some people prefer to pay for the console by itself or buy it outright, but that's not what was offered yesterday at GameStop online (and it wasn't an in-store GameStop Xbox restock like last week, which we exclusively reported on from line). The Xbox Series X All-Access bundle price comes out to be $34.99 a month for 24 months.
XBOX ONE SERIES X RESTOCK TWITTER PLUS
The other restriction for people was that this was for the Xbox All-Access bundle, which means you're forced to pay for the Series X console over time (a $499 value) plus the cost of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ($14.99 a month value). Using the GameStop mobile website or a computer browser – we'll send out the link in our alert when it gets closer (GameStop sometimes changes up the URL). More advice: Using the GameStop app hasn't proved reliable.Pro tip: while we saw GameStop say this about the previous GameStop PS5 restock, we know that many people were able to get a console regardless of membership status if you use Apple Pay at checkout.They get early access, which is something GameStop is touting to sell more memberships.
GameStop sent out an email ahead of time to its PowerUp Rewards Pro members and restricted it to those members – at least at first. There was also an Xbox Series X restock at GameStop at 2pm EDT / 1pm CT / 1pm MDT / 11am PDT. There's really no reason to pay a higher price for the Xbox Series X if you're paying attention to the alerts. Hundreds of people were able to get the Xbox Series X for MSRP. We saw the Xbox Serie X restock at Target on Wednesday morning, and Matt Swider was there with an alert as soon as we saw the Xbox in stock.
