You're feeding a troll who failed to use proper grammar and sentence structure themselves. You'd be better off just ignoring such encounters, especially in English, where far too many people believe that since it's the only language they speak, it makes them some sort of an authority on it.

I had both of these and went back to PC but I'm a gamepass user who already had a PC. If I didn't have one, the series X is a bargain with gamepass!

Quote from Multivitaminico :
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 30 year olds waiting in line to pay for an overpriced console

thats how sad society has become
I think most of the ones waiting are doing it for resale anyways at 2-3x times.Partially it happens because there are some idiots willing to pay that amount but then it's their money so I personally don't even care. On the other hand the companies that make these in limited quantities are main cause for such thing to occur, also the ones buying into all this hype about those systems are who allows them to continue doing so though.

If you have been trying for a PS5 since pre-release, then you have been trying for a year.
At this point, I think its probably worth it to pay the scalper $250.

I heard the newer version of ps5 is coming out soon. I guess I'll wait for that one to get in stock because I can't find the current PS5 anywhere right now. I have a full time job and don't have time to camp out at bestbuy.

I naively thought I may be able to snag one before I go into work. Pulled in, saw the line was wrapped around the building. Nope.

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
People have been camping out for GPU's as well, for basically the entire time the PS5 has been out. Yes a GPU isn't the whole PC, but it's pretty critical fir gaming. Demand is high and supply can't keep up for basically all popular electronics. Sure Sony could limit purchases to one per PSN account, but there's no limit on making PSN accounts🤷. Also why would Sony artificially slow down the process of selling their consoles?

As for not camping out in the 90's, do you remember the N64? People were most certainly waiting in long lines in front of stores to buy that thing because it was the hot new tech item all the kids wanted and Nintendo couldn't make them fast enough. My dad had to camp out at Toys R Us multiple times to get me one for Christmas (thanks dad!), and I was the only one of my friends that managed to get one that year. Demand outpacing supply on new "toys" isn't anything new or specific to now.
