Apparently a massive stock in the UK (3500 consoles) has been scalped again... lol.

They're going for £850 (disc) and £700 (digital) on eBay at the moment... I can see this going on for a while. I honestly wish there was regulation to force online retailers to stop this from happening, i.e. flagging any suspicion of bulk ordering and stopping it wherever possible.

They're going to sell out to genuine buyers anyway, it's not like the retailer is going to miss out on a sale.

i got an alert that Curry's got some stock in this morning. I immediately clicked on the link and there were 75,000 ahead of me in the queue. I got to the top of the queue and then the website crashed

The Dreamcast was great. Didn’t sell well because of Sega’s own doings in the 90’s but still a great console, way ahead of its time.

Jet Set Radio and Shenmue were the only good games on it and even then the sequels on original xbox were 10x better

You can't judge any console until its run is over (unless it's actually defective) because all that actually matters is the exclusives... and obviously the PS5 has very few titles thus far. The PS3 had a slightly ropey start but had delivered the InFamous series, Uncharted series, Heavy Rain, The Last Of Us etc. by closing. PS4 has delivered a much longer list of good exclusives. Can't see Sony dropping the ball this gen tbh.

I was in the GAME queue for an hour or so yesterday, the progress bar moved maybe half a centimetre, then it came up with "Sorry dey all gone" .

I can still wait... it's not like there are any exclusives I want for it yet... I just have the cash burning a hole in my pocket I think.

One of the lesser spoken about things is the Dualsense, it's a very impressive controller. The triggers have different amounts of pressure for different firearms in Hitman 3

The lack of availability is surely going to be a problem... Devs are going to be hesitant to release if no one has the console. It would be one thing if all the units sold were in the hands of gamers but at this point, countless have been stockpiled by eBay scalpers.

[The PS5 was launched in November 2020 and has been
a hot ticket item ever since,
with Sony apologising for lack of stock and
promising to boost production.

Sony is yet to comment on the
latest shortages, said to be caused by
lack of AMD chips, but some experts has said
the PS5 drought could continue until July.

On a brighter note, Digitimes reports that Sony
is planning to ship between 16.8 million
and 18 million PS5 units in 2021.

Getting hold of PS5 accessories is
getting (a bit) easier, too
. Currys still has the PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless PS5
headset in stock for £89.99
(it could be worth grabbing one before it sells out again),
while Amazon has the DualSense Controller for £57.95.]
