They're definitely not. This is such a limited in store drop and the holidays are coming. Constraint is about to get much worse.

Are you a time traveler from the 90s? Word will still get out of a in-store event. This stuff doesnt just appear on the shelves or in the stores dock/back area by teleportation.
you make no sense. if you put them in store randomly then it would work and that wouldn't be called an "event"

This would be perfect. The technology exists for it already lol
But who is going to police that? Sony or Microsoft? Best Buy? They are all gaining from this. I think a partial solution would be to allow those that have had psn or Xbox live accounts, first dibs. Is that fair? No, probably not. But Sony lost me to Microsoft , just because I was able to get a Series X first. It's not I spend a ton on games, but with psplus the last 12 years and 2-3 games, I'd say at least 200 a year.
My point to all that is…If you are Sony and Microsoft, and you are taking a loss on selling the system. Wouldn't you want to ensure that your console winds up in the hands of people more likely to turn that loss around?
Just a thought, but it's not like anybody is hurting except the ones paying 100-500 over retail to have one.
