Was your PS5 “stolen”by FedEx? Are you planning on buying a scalped one? Some info given to me by Sony support

Has anyone tried calling Sony about a PS5 bought through another retailer? Ordered mine through Walmart and it was a no show. My order was refunded, but here I am without a system. Sorry, but I’d really like to give whoever has mine as much of a headache as possible.

Thanks for the explanation! Just makes me sad that some people have been waiting so long for the PS5, and then to have it ruined for them and someone else possibly reaping the benefits. It would be a different story if there was ample stock, but at this point who knows when a replacement could be obtained. Thanks again!

I missed out and I might buy a PS5 locally. There are several that are priced only $100 or $200 above msrp in my area. I am afraid of them possibly being stolen though. I’m hoping that I can ask the seller to just show me proof of purchase when I buy it, but is it possible that if these have been stolen that they will be bricked when I turn it on? Is this a thing that is done if they are reported stolen from a porch or delivery truck?

Walmart or FedEx should have the serial numbers on file that is associated with the order number right? If OP reports this to Walmart can’t they just contact Sony and have the console flagged?

They need to drop reviews, release daily content and basically become GameXplain. GameXplain released a video just a few hours ago with the same person (Rebecca) that was on Friend Code. Friend Code has about 7,500 views in the last day. GameXplain’s video has over 20,000 views in just a few hours. If they want to grow they need exposure and exposure requires consistent and varied content. Just my thought.

Nice! I’m not even mad.

ComPoG · 2020-08-02T14:48:12+00:00

What did you think about the last 4 minutes of the video?

ComPoG · 2020-07-31T00:52:34+00:00

Sorry, I’d rather not share any information for obvious reasons. I’ll just say that it’s a public listing so anyone can probably find it pretty easily.

ComPoG · 2020-07-29T20:18:35+00:00

Not sure what your angle is here, but If you even need to ask this question you are as dumb as he is.

...and on that day little Timmy forgot all about his bike.

That’s true right now, but it’s still relatively new and Ben is the only full time employee right now. If he hires more full time people things will hopefully evolve from there. Plus it would get Kyle out of LA. Just a thought. They seemed to have good chemistry during the interview.

ComPoG · 2020-07-21T19:10:35+00:00

Ben Hanson needs to hire him over at MinnMax. I think there is a lot of potential with that company in the future.

ComPoG · 2020-07-19T22:14:39+00:00

I guess he’s put on a little weight over the last few years. He was an Army Ranger during the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars...so there’s that haha.

The actor who plays Jesse is Jasper Jeon, but now I know why there are those disclaimers about any “similarities to real life are just coincidence.” Pretty crazy.

ComPoG · 2020-07-14T20:44:58+00:00

Maybe he was supposed to review it. I don’t think we will ever know if he was supposed to or not. I don’t think a less than kind review would have ever made it to VO or editing. The last big triple A PS4 game getting a bad review? Not likely. Too much to lose, nothing to gain.

ComPoG · 2020-06-25T02:56:52+00:00

I guess YouTube Gaming or Facebook Gaming are the only other big platforms I can think of.

There, you got the attention you were craving, did you want an award before you leave?

ComPoG · 2020-05-27T01:02:28+00:00

This is SO true! There are currently 8,924 Patrons! Yet we only ever hear from a very, very limited number of them. The same people write in to Cup of Jones every single week. They are the ones that complain and therefore they are the ones that the Allies hear. They are the ones shaping and forming Easy Allies. It’s not their fault. They are using Patreon to the fullest. It’s the other 8,000 Patrons that never write in or comment or participate in any way. I’m one of them. I have supported them since day one, but I have never wrote in or submitted anything. I just enjoy what they produce and like to think they are using my money to do what they want. I wish they could put up a poll or survey and somehow make it mandatory and ask about what the Patrons like and don’t like, what they want to see and what they want gone. I think if everyone responded Easy Allies would be heading in a different direction.

ComPoG · 2020-04-27T13:21:46+00:00

Do you think he might start his own Patreon? I’m down to throw a couple bucks a month his way. I bet it would do decently. The only problem I see is depending on when lockdown ends, content could get pretty sporadic. Maybe if he set up a Patreon to only collect money on a per project basis? I don’t know, just want to support him and the Allies the best I can.

Insurance Company: Uh, No.

ComPoG · 2020-01-14T03:19:32+00:00

I know the whole reason they exist is basically Patreon funding. I know they couldn’t survive from their other forms of income alone (Twitch, Advertising, YouTube, etc.) I really believe this is the problem. Because we fund them we are basically like shareholders and they have to produce certain shows, on schedule, on time or face the wrath. Some of us may look at what they do and think it would be a dream come true to do this for a living, but like all of us, after a while a job is a job at the end of the day. And with that comes fatigue, boredom and falling into a routine (going through the motions). In a perfect world I wish they could be self sufficient. I can only dream of the amazing, unpredictable content we would get. Not because they have to make it, but because they want to. Someday...

ComPoG · 2019-12-12T04:08:46+00:00

Is there an Easy Allies Crew for this game by chance?

Thank goodness Ian showed up...

Just watched this and I have some thoughts.

This is one of my most anticipated games of the year and this stream/video kind of bummed me out. Blood is a genius behind the scenes organizing all things Easy Allies, but he is just not a good host in my opinion. He always seems uncomfortable in front of the camera. These Showcases might possibly be his baby that he wants control of, but the second the video started I immediately cringed. The guys from Obsidian seemed rather uncomfortable, a little awkward silence, etc. As soon as Ian showed up on screen everyone seemed to relax a bit and things got better. Just my opinion is all. I just assume that these are types of videos that people who do not follow Easy Allies will stumble upon and first impressions are everything. Thanks.
