Cat food, coffee machines, air fryers. Now one poor man in Utah has received nothing more than a concrete block in place of the PS5 he was promised.
We would liken PS5s to gold dust, but we’d hazard to guess that a big bag of gold dust would be easier to come by right now, and probably cost a lot less. The arrival of a new PlayStation always brings with it a little chaos. We were reminded of that when BBC posted archive footage of people fighting over PS2s recently.
The arrival of the PS5, and the Series X two days earlier, feels different, though. A number of contributing factors have led to next-gen consoles being harder to come by than ever before. Resale sites are selling consoles for double, sometimes even triple their retail price and a scalper group in the UK claims to have bought up and resold more than 5000 consoles for inflated prices.
