Should I have asked for more?
I wait for 3 hours at walmarts electronics with a ticket that ensures I get a PS4 and they didn't have one when midnight came around. They gave the first 6 of us tickets first come first serve.

Somehow, they no longer have 2 of the 6 they got in when the time comes around for us to pay for the systems.

At first, they offered a 50 dollar gift card and a raincheck that would "ensure that we get the first ones from the next shipment."

I suggested that he give us a little more than that, but don't want to be unreasonable because it's not like I already paid for it. I made it a point to show him how much they are selling for on eBay and craigslist while suggesting that they up what they are offering and he gives us a free controller and a raincheck.

A couple friends of mine laughed a little and thought I should have gotten a free game and a free controller because I am essentially missing out on a 2-300 dollar profit if I were to sell the system.

Should I have asked for more?

How does a store like walmart **** something this easy up? They passed out 7 tickets (when they were supposed to pass out 6) and only had 5 systems.

Wow

I now realize I am old since I don't want to wait outside of a Walmart to get a system that will line the shelves in weeks.

I definitely know I am not stupid enough to pay $200 more for something that can be had for regular price within weeks.

Enjoy your systems, gentlemen. I am not hating, I love playing video games when I have time, I just don't understand.

So people are really paying $600 for a $300 console just so they can have it on release day instead of waiting a week when the shelves will be overflowing with them?

It always takes longer than a week.

These launches almost never meet anywhere close to the demand...

I went to target this morning after dropping the kid off and got the last one they had. My son will play this one (he will be crazy excited) and we'll sell the one from walmart when it comes in.

As for the "why didn't you preorder?" question...I almost never buy electronics and have them shipped. Had a couple bad experiences and feel more comfortable buying things like this face to face.

As for the "**** walmart" crew...I completely agree, but the kid has been kicking ass in school lately and I wanted to do something over the top for him....and I wanted it for some of the features.

I can remember Sam Walton personally giving horse rides to kids, of which I was one, while their parents shopped in the store. His very first store ever. He would be very disappointed in his children.

Trying to decide if I want to buy one right now or not. There really aren't any games out, so I'm thinking of just waiting until after the new year.
