I think we all did 🤣

 

I had to bookmark this last night and come back to it today because I thought I might have gotten a little to stoned and wasn't seeing this correctly. Nope, looks real...

I may go this route. I'm still pissed off you can't get a Xbox or PS5 for Christmas. Shameful.

Stay strong and dont go with the scalpers. These aholes that buy 10-20 consoles and jack up the prices are ruining Christmas for a lot of people. Best thing to do is stick them with product they cant move.

Yeah. No way I'd go scalper route. It's for me, so it's not like the kids will be disappointed. I'm fine with waiting it out. Also gives some time to get a console where the bugs are worked out.

I had luck checking in on a twitch stream that tracked when stores were selling them.

 

The name of the cam was killercam1020.  The best bet is the comments people are leaving.  They are usually ahead of the stream and will tell you where they are having luck right at that moment.

You know KFC is the most popular thing to eat on Christmas in Japan.

I find myself oddly drawn back to this thread. There is no explanation for this.

The only trustworthy takeaway: KFC has an outstanding (and well-funded marketing department).

Yum! Brands marketing department budget is probably bigger than the GDP of some nations. 😁

When I worked in Japan during one year the lines at KFC were all the way down the block and they had girls walking down line with cart and in heated cart were boxes of KFC which you could buy from her.

I got one for my parents and each of my siblings that had fireplaces.  Those logs though have a weird smell to them, even before you burn them.

That's a minute of my life that I'm never getting back.
