I paid 3x the price for the Ps5....Is this what shame feels like?? i hit a new low today:(.I got tired of the bots buying out the entire supply every time the ps5 drops on a website so i paid 1200+ for a scalped ps5.I swore i would wait a year before i ever let someone con me into paying double the price for a system...in the end i ended up paying triple and got the system months later....I feel disgusting


It had nothing to do with the money...it was the principal of it.....

The sports card world is just as bad, if not worse. $20 boxes are currently selling for $120-180, just because they're 'new' and 'unavailable'

I still haven't gotten one. I've tried, but nothing. I refuse to pay over retail though.

Exactly there's nothing out that I can't wait foe. Still probably hundreds of games I haven't beat for systems I already own

It's crazyy how 6 months since and they're harder to cop now then they were at launch. I had to jump through hoops in Nov, know a buddy who knew a buddy who knew the exact time when Best Buy would let their orders go live, online at 4am lol. Bro it sold out in 15-30 min, thousands. When I went to pick up at the store, hundreds of cars lined up with security escorting the customers until it was placed in their trunk of vehicle.


Now, this is the delays of transistor drought from manufactures not even being able to build enough. All brand new electronics are hit until probably next holiday. And honestly unless you had a backlog of PS4 games you've been sitting on like me, PS5 still only has a handful of games to even tussle with. Once I banged out Demon Souls, it was back to ps4 Warzone lol. Resident Evil in May thou :pimp:

A friend of a friend was able to get four PS5s from Sam's Club online within the past month in two transactions! He kept one, two were for family members and he sold the 4th, which was a bundle, for retail to help someone out.
