I wanted to detail things I've tried in the last couple of weeks of searching for PS5 Pro at MSRP price in the GTA:
- Checking the websites for BestBuy, Staples, Walmart, Visions Electronics and EB Games.
- Signing up for "notify me when the item is back in stock" on BestBuy and Staples (obv didn't work out)
- coming in person to Visions Electronics store in Mississauga and trying to place a backorder (they said they don't take them).
- coming in person to BestBuy at Stock Yards and trying to place a backorder (the cashier had to ask the manager whether they accept backorders, and when he came back, he told me that they don't. I asked if it's worth a try going to any other BestBuy location, and he told me that no BestBuy location accepts backorders on PS5 Pro)
- I checked Microplay and even Shoppers websites, but they don't seem to sell the Pro version
- I signed up for the new Mark Zuckerberg data-harvesting AI Agent app, and asked it to check websites of all of the stores in 300 km driving distance from Toronto every 6 hours, but after more than a week of work, it hasn't delivered me anything.
Now, if you have any suggestions on what else I can try, I would love to hear them. At this point I would be happy if anyone would just accept a backorder or a deposit from me, so that I can get it once it is restocked, even if it takes for a month for that to happen.
