I legit started actively trying to get one two weeks ago. I followed a twitter account (in Canada) that tweets out the drops the second they go live. It took 3 drops and 2 weeks of trying and I got one. So don't despair, you can get one...
I got one on launch day somehow (I had a whole procedure in place for it, with all the retailers in tabs etc) but the controller fully doesn't work, so it's more or less just a rare expensive paperweight at the moment.
I was lucky and got one on my 2nd or 3rd attempt. Record purchasing primed me for the best ways to get something limited before it sells out hah. You'll be able to get one eventually!
It’s definitely possible!! My brother and I managed to both get one today from Walmart. They were doing restocks every 10 minutes or something, and my brother is a ninja
