r/CanadaPS5

I live in the NWT and I’m trying to get my hands on a ps5 pro but obviously like many others it’s literally impossible. The closest I’ve been was when I saw my local Walmart had stock so I placed an online order, only for it to be cancelled right before my pickup time the next day. My best guess is that they sold the last one before checking what online orders they had to fulfill. I called my Walmart and Best Buy and they both told me they aren’t getting a restock anytime soon, so now my only option is to find it online. I’ve set up multiple restock alerts and was even present on the Amazon page for restocks but got beaten by scalper bots within seconds. I’m honestly just really pissed that these retailers just let these people get away so easily with scalping their products. It’s really unfair that these slimeball human beings can just get away with hoarding all the stock because they can’t get a real job. Anyways besides the rant, I’m really just considering giving in to one of these scalpers and paying $1500 for one because I know in the end I’ll just be happier if I get what I want even if I pay a bigger price.

Hi guys

I need some guidance in securing a PS5 Pro at retail price somewhere in Paris or Milton Ontario.

The thing is, I'm not in Canada and I have a family member who can bring it for me but they can't unfortunately hunt around store to check the availability every now and then, they primarily reside in Paris, but do travel to Milton often.

I read here that some store websites like Best Buy would restock at specific time and day and we can be lucky to get it.

So the plan is for me to purchase the console from the online store and they can pick it up for me. Or if I know the time/date the console gets restocked, I can have them go to the store (still risky since I'm not sure if they'll have time to do so).

Since I'm not sure about the Canadian market can you please guide me with the following:

• What stores restock their online inventory with PS5 Pro at MSRP / retail price?
• What are the timings (day and time) for them to restock in:
  1. Paris Ontario
  2. Milton Ontario

I wish I could purchase this in my country but the ridiculous gov tax and scalpers have shot up the price twice the retail value.

I really appreciate you all helping out, thank you!
