Gamers everywhere are having an incredibly difficult time getting their hands on the next generation of consoles. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have been sold out nearly as soon as they are released anywhere in the world. Because of this, fans of both systems have taken to the Internet to vent their frustrations through the art of memes. The results are absolutely hilarious!
The best memes come from a place of frustration and pain, as is tradition on the Internet. It seems there is no shortage of that when it comes to these shipping memes fans have posted online.
10 Goosebumps
It is clear from this one that fans of the PS5 are waiting with bated breath and anticipation for any news or updates on their order. Until then, they can just enjoy the feeling of tiny shapes on their skin whenever they get goosebumps.
9 Just Hit F5 Again
The classics are definitely still in style over at the Xbox Series X subreddit. Meme fans love an incredibly degraded JPG image of a dusty skeleton. Something about it just hits the spot. If the console wars are still raging, it seems that fans of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have found a new common enemy: poor supply chain management.
As everybody knows, the best content is almost always buried in the comments. One Redditor who commented on this post shared this hilarious response. Gamers around the world can surely empathize with that sentiment right now.
8 The Types Of People Waiting For Their Xbox
This meme is based on a true story, according to the fan who posted this on /r/XboxSeriesX. Because this meme was posted before further delays for many fans, the comment section is filled with hopeful remarks about getting an Xbox Series X on launch night. Little did they know how much of a wait they would truly be expecting.
The only question that fans must ask themselves now is, “am I an Emma Roberts or a Will Poulter?” Some might even be a Jason Sudeikis. In the end, everyone’s really in the same boat.
7 It’s Bots All The Way Down
This meme is one that has fueled the hatred of a million gamers. There is a robot problem right now, in the lamest possible sense of the phrase “robot problem.” Those dastardly scalpers have been setting up bots to immediately purchase any PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles that get listed online. This has lead to fans having a moment of joy before having it ripped away from them at the clutches of a few lines of code.
Now is the time to rise against the would-be robot overlords and take back those consoles that are rightfully gamers’. Well, that’s what John Connor of Terminator fame would probably say.
6 What’s He Thinking About?
A huge number of people can share stories about how gaming has affected their relationship. While some of that has been positive, the fan who posted this meme is getting in trouble before he has even gotten a chance to play on his new system!
Still, there is a silver lining. With shipping delays like these, frustrated fans can at least take comfort in the fact that it isn’t just them sitting there refreshing their browsers. After all, misery is better with some company to share it with, right?
5 “When I Said All-Powerful, What I Meant…”
Now this is a meme for true connoisseurs. While the PS5 has definitely seen shipping delays, nothing riles up a group of gamers in 2020 like uttering the words Cyberpunk 2077 and “delay” in the same breath.
For many fans, it would feel both incredibly tragic yet entirely expected if Cyberpunk happened to be delayed yet again. Even this close to release! The idea that even a genie can’t get their hands on these things shows just how much of a hot commodity they are among fans. It seems that magic doesn’t beat the scalper bots!
4 The True Enemy Has Been Revealed
If one good thing has come out of this shipping disaster, this meme shows it has been a ceasefire in the console wars. Many fans of both PlayStation and Xbox have put their differences aside to focus their hate and vitriol on the true enemy of the people: console scalpers.
You tend to see more eye to eye when it seems like everyone has a story about adding a console to their shopping cart before having it stolen by a bot. This has even lead to many fans calling for regulation by the government to prevent this from happening.
3 How It Feels When The Website Finally Says There Are More PS5s
Many fans of the PlayStation are sitting online, looking at sold-out stock everywhere they can find. Like Spongebob Squarepants out of the water, the fans in this meme have been trying to convince themselves they don’t need a new console.
Of course, thisall changes the instant one becomes available. With any luck, it won’t be immediately purchased by a robot, but that may be expecting too much out of end-game 2020. It truly is the year that keeps on giving (or in this case, withholding in a shipping facility for weeks at a time).
2 Expectation Vs. Reality
Xbox fans had been inundated with posts about people receiving their consoles earlier than launch day. This, understandably, got them incredibly excited to get their console. Sadly, shipping delays soon became a much more normal outcome than these early arrivals.
Tragically, this hilarious meme perfectly encapsulates the feeling that everyone but the reader is getting their new console. It may not be the truth, but social media is great at making people feel that way.
1 PS5 Fans, Meet Nvidia Fans
Time moves so fast on the Internet. Like, faster than most people can keep up with. That’s why this brilliant meme could likely catch you by surprise. It could even remind you about something that happened a month ago that you’ve already forgotten about.
When Nvidia released their 30-series graphics cards earlier this year, they sold out everywhere almost immediately. With console fans becoming increasingly frantic over orders, Nvidia buyers would like to remind them that they were here first. Although, the real question is: who will get theirs last?
