fark the ps5 and sony, is just a big scam to hype up the system and people fall for this crap

this is why we cant have nice thing

any pc of today destroys the ps5 in everything

my recommendation is to wait all this nonsense and all these idiots wanting to be first until the ps5 slim comes out, by then it will be easier to get one

$500 for a console is retarded anyway, you could build a pc with $500 that would crush this stupid ps5

but why people want to so much is because is hard to get and thats what sony counted on, people are so farking dumb, especially gamers are stupid as fark
I hear this a lot, but is a $500 PC actually better for gaming setting aside the multi use of an actual computer? I kinda doubt it.

you and all these gamers don't want the ps5 for the graphics lol they want it for the exclusivity, sony counted on this, they purposedly limited supply to create more demand, price and hype, basically what rolex did decades ago

i received an email invitation from sony to buy a ps5 today through their website, yet when i get there at 12am it was already gone because of the stupid scalpers, i wasn't even going to buy but i wanted to see if they have it lol

whats the point of a stupid invitation, if is not going to reserved for you just like bestbuy, is doing now with the tickets, thats farking bullshit, is an invitation to LOSE

an invitation to compete with pieces of shit who just want to resell the consoles

this is why sony sucks ass and no one should be buying from them, but gamers are sheep who just worship at the altar of sony

like someone said before every ps account, should be given the chance to have a reservation linked to your account to buy a ps5

they will never do this because it goes against their hype scam

Exclusives are a big selling point always have been. There are whole PC exclusive genres. All I'm saying is $500 doesn't seem like it gets you very far in the PC gaming world today. Even before it was going to be a low-tier system when everyone who buys a console is on the same page until they come out with the "pro" stuff.

so this is an invitation for unemployed gamers and pieces of shit scalpers to camp out at best buy probably since 5 am to buy a console

no one with a job has the time to do this shit at 730 cause lots of people already camp out since 5am

at this point in time unless a soul takes pity on you and sells you the ps5 at face price, you will not get one unless you pay $1500

fark that

I for one, am not that desperate to have ps5. I will wait till the ps5 slim comes out.

but this showed you how sony sucks and how farked up things are in the gaming world

then you have big celebrities and all these stupid youtubers rubbing in yo face the ps5 and shit

lmao

just for this alone sony deserves to go the way of nintendo

why couldn't they allow each ps account to have a reservation for a ps5 for a limited time

they dont give a shit about their customers thats why

how pathetic that one has to beg just to spend your hard earned money lol

think about that, and how much control they have

what

none of this camp out, sold out online in one millisecond, shit exists in the pc gaming world

how is it possible that in 2021 people are still camping out for bullshit like this

we are not in the 90s anymore

every ps account should have been given the chance to buy a reserved ps5 for a limited time and only one, that would scalpers pieces of shit would be avoided and everyone would be happy

instead they create chaos, envy, frustration, pieces of shit profiting from all of this, etc

in fact, sony benefits from all of this, because they can price up their consoles next time, they inflated their value by creating fake scarcity

im a 90s kid a real 90s kid born in the mid 80s, i never camped out for shit like this, is pure bullshit, people are so stupid whats the point, are you that desperate just wait out the nonsense, i still got all the consoles eventually

Bro it's cool but people were camping out for GPUs before they started doing this with consoles. Nvidia is basically as hated as Sony in the PC world, but demand is still high because they are just kinda better. No one wants AMD video cards or Xbox like they thirst for RTX and Playstation.

those days are long gone lol and a video card is just one part of a gaming PC

You build your own pc in so many different ways and so many different routes you can take, you buy prebuilt, build it yourself, etc.

AMD cards nowadays are probably even better than Nvidia, but people think Nvidia is so much better because of the old days when they had the edge for a while

Consoles are different, they are a one thing purchase, without it you can't do shit. With a PC, if you don't get the Nvidia card you want, you can buy other alternatives, youll still play the games you want to play.

Without a console, you can't play shit.

This same shit will happen in black friday, same bullshit, where scalpers will once again take everything for them and fark everyone else.

I can wait unlike many people, but if you want it so much then pay up the $1500 resale price then, cause youre chances of buying one at $500 are one in a million
