Man everybody down on the scalpers. What is wrong with a little buy and flip?

Heck if it wasn't for the scalpers many wouldn't be able to get one for Christmas. They provide a service for those who need it.

Have you been to a car dealership lately? 5-10K markup over MSRP? What is that?

The difference between ps5 scalpers and car dealers is that ps5 is not extremely short in supply, but vehicles are. The "insufficient supply" situation is intentionally created by scalpers who pile up tons of ps5 in their warehouse. These ps5 are supposed to bring fun and joy to players

Quote from HoSpanky :
Did you go to the Sony website and sign up for the queue? I did months ago, and it took maybe a month and a half before I got the email about buying one from them.
Direct. PlayStation. Com. Scroll down, find the sign up thingy. Once they send you the email that you'll be in a queue for one (it will be a couple month wait), keep that email. They won't send another. I work retail and I locked up the shop during the time frame mine was set for. The process took about 10 minutes total. Yes it's a pain in the ass but I got a ps5 at retail cost without having to bundle.

Yes, I signed up. Still waiting. However, I don't mind waiting. I refuse to pay scalper prices. I'll probably end up with one when the 6 comes out. I just think it's poor businessmanship* to not offer everyone that's a current member of PSN the first opportunity instead of making us scrounge around trying to get one. If I was smart, obviously I'm not, I would of done the bot buying to get one.

Ps5 are not short in supply? I guess it's my area only since I can't find a single store with stock.

Scalpers with warehouses full of ps5… ok if you say so.

You cannot walk into a Gamestop and buy a PS5 for $499.99. You have to buy a bundle, with games you cannot choose, that is almost $800.

Easy, then do a full return. GameStop loses all the profit over partial profit.

That's 100% exactly what I did. It was not easy since I also spent a few cycles explaining to the manager exactly why it was near unethical. Will they do anything? No. Did I feel better, yup!

Who the hell is asking scalpers to buy every damn ps5.

Nobody force you to have fun with a ps5. Go to the park and have fun if you don't want to pay resellers price for a ps5.

I'm going to wait until about a year before ps6 comes out to get one. Scalpers can have them and stores that want to charge extra can keep them.

Had a ps5 secured from Walmart and it got cancelled but I had already ordered some games from gamestop.

Went to return them yesterday and they had a refurbed ps5, slapped a one year warranty on it and was happy.

They said they were getting the bundles but didn't want to spend 800 on it so I'm happy
