How do people keep track of who has stock and who doesn't?

I know I'm not the only one but I have not come close to getting one so far.
Twitter is how I managed to keep up with who'd have stock and when. One of them runs a stock checker via his YouTube channel and although kids usually spam the chat, the others will comment when it drops.

Discord/Slack with mobile notifications is the quickest and most effective way.

Can't be much longer before it isnt really worth it for the scalpers. Anyone who was willing to pay daft money for one will have already done so.

It's nuts. Already replaced one due to a faulty trackpad and the controller I bought to replace it whilst it was with Sony has now broken too with a spring in the trigger coming loose and rattling around.
That’s awful. Strange that the controller was meant to be the big thing with the ps5 and it’s so poor quality.

This is my first ever console (also not much of a gamer apart from stuff like FIFA and the occasional FPS). I'm loving it, the ability to sit back and play on a large screen in 4k is awesome.

Been playing FIFA 21, and Batman Arkham Knight. What an incredible game to begin with!

In 6 months time when people actually have games to play on the Xbox we will probably be hearing the same stories.

You should look after your stuff better. Vast majority of controllers work fine, so what are the odds of getting two faulty controllers in a row?

@littlepeasoup look how they turn on you when you speak of Sony's shortcomings. I'd like to extend a hand and welcome you to the Xbox thread if you like. You may talk about any issues you have there and we'll do all we can to help

What was the issue with your trackpad? The controller which came with my console has an issue where the trackpad gets 'stuck' down if I press both of the lower corners at the same time - I discovered this accidentally whilst playing Astrobot in the first few days. It's easily fixed by pressing near the top again. I thought it was just happening because you aren't supposed to press the trackpad in two places at the same time, however I got a second controller for Christmas and it's fine.

I'm tempted to exchange the 'faulty' one when the shops re-open, but I'm concerned about any replacement controller having stick drift or one of the other issues which people seem to be having. Touch wood, other than the small trackpad sticking issue, both of my controllers work well.

@VeevaVee we need to keep track of how many broken controllers there are. Seems like half the forum have had broken controllers and probably Elvis, if he wasn’t such a lying scrote. The main man Afro has been through 5.

Oh and imagine buying a next gen console just to play PES in 2021. Some people are crazy and they bought 5 of them.

We must be close to 20 controllers replaced by people on this forum alone

PS5 was the obvious choice for quality exclusives pre launch and is still the obvious choice.

Ff7 Remake makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Grabbed Tony Hawks as well. Such a good remake/master.

Having such a nostalgic time with the PS5 at the moment. Considering grabbing Resident Evil 2 next and relive my early teen years in their entirety.
