Yup. Chip shortage, supply chain issues, bots, and insane demand are driving the limited supply.

Another restock. 37 states this time around so yours may well be on there if it wasn't last time. To my understanding it is a forced bundle though so that's probably not everyones cup of tea.

Edit: also not local. Only one store has them in both MO and KS and it's Springfield.

Xbox Series X is better

Oh boy. You’re not representing yourself good here.

Also having managers at Wal-Marts and Gamestops buying them all up before they hit the shelves to re-sell for twice what they sell for.

Why would anyone want that freak show looking of a console is beyond me. Anyone passing up on Game Pass in this day and age is a sucker. You really have to want the PS exclusives.
