Although all signs are indicating that the upcoming Xbox One and Playstation 4 video game consoles are sold out at this point, there still might be opportunities for people who are desperate to get their hands on the next-generation video game platforms.

It currently looks like GameStop and Best Buy will feature midnight launches for the Playstation 4, but keep in mind that the lines at these stores could be incredibly long. The best option would have been to pre-order the game console of your choice ahead of time, so this would be a last resort. Furthermore, NBC News is reporting that Wal-Mart and Target will have extra units to sell for their 24-hour locations, which makes the midnight release a bit more smooth considering that other stores are going to be going out of their way to remain open at times when they are usually closed for the night.

Best Buy explained their plan for the midnight release so that customers have an idea of what to expect beforehand.

"Most of our stores will create two separate lines: one for pre-order customers and one for customers looking to purchase a console from the available limited quantities. Some stores may need to operate differently, however all of our stores will be utilizing signage to manage their lines along with employee assistance to ensure everyone is aware of the process throughout the day. Stores will begin to process pre-order customers prior to processing any customers looking to purchase a console." 

The PS4 will be released on Nov. 15 while the Xbox One will follow suit a week later when it hits the shelves on Nov. 22.
