I got 2 of them at launch.

Camped Best Buy Online when Sony made pre orders go up by a day early that night. Me and my buddy stayed up till 4 am on the phone together and snatched them back to back. I managed to snipe a physicall one and then digital one right after. He got his in same time frame as I got mine.

One PS5 I kept for myself and other I gave away to my 6 year old newphew and his dad.

What's happening right now with shortages, is it as bad as it used to be? I have a few friends who got theirs but some of them still can't get one. Is it as bad as it was at launch or?

Yoir not really missing out man to be fair. I wouldn't worry about it until God of War Ragnarok, but even then its a PS4 game. Unless you REALLY want Demons Souls Remake, Ratchet or Returnal, there is no real reason, or obviously the addition of SSD and much faster older games on your new system for convenience and a massive quality of life change.

To answer your real question, yes, you can probably sell it for a few bucks more than retail still.

Must be slow day in your life (if you even have one) to make such a stupid assumption when I am asking a simple question you doofus lol.

I have 0 interest in selling my PS5, nice try though. I am asking because I am curious of the current situation. Thankfully, I am not in a dire need of money and have a great job and live a good life. You obviously sound miserable. So sorry.

Weird thing to say. There are plenty of games other than DS, R&C, and Returnal. I have been playing games on my PS5 since I bought it earlier this year and I haven't played any of those games yet.

Look like more than enough of a reason to get started?

Bookmark that site and check graph once a month. Once PS5 scalping price start flirting with $600 (currently $735), I imagine it'll be easier to grab one.

Currently the easiest way to get one if you can afford the markup. It's what I mention to others honestly. Otherwise it's going to be another long year in 2022 for some.

To this day I have not seen a ps5 availible online since day1. I have only seen once a xbox series x at Best Buy online real quick. I never realized how good of a choice it was to get in on that pre order shit before it went crazy as I was able to snag a ps5 and series x for launch day.

I feel for those that want one of them.

they are readily available in the UK it seems. My local Asda had a couple in stock earlier today and no real urgency to get one from anyone I know personally..

Lol, you sound like an asshole, you know that? Who the fuck starts a thread with “I got 2 of ‘em at launch” when you know they're hard to get? Yes, you know they are. You just started this thread to brag and make people feel bad that they don’t got one. Jesus…
