Addressing the PS5 situation that happened in two weeks

discussion

So basically I was searching for PS5 since the past two weeks. First tried stores, they were taking prebookings(was skeptical of prebooking at that time), that passed, got digital editions in blinkit(wanted disc so let it go), tried Zepto but no luck, when got leads for some stores then by the time got there it got bought by somebody else.

Now for the people that already have PS5 and are wondering what's happening these days with the PS5 posts and stock shortage:
Trust me guys, there is a shortage but more importantly there are unfair practices taking place(Plus Sony might raise the prices hence even more demand).

The stores forced to buy in bundles (get controller, get games, Ambience mall sony center forced warranty that is not officialy sony's). Some people bought more just to then sell later at a higher price. When calling stores they denied and said "out of stock" but in fact they did have stock. Sometimes when visiting the store they deny of having stock but they did indeed have stock.

Silver lining to all of this:
There were some people in reddit that helped others a lot, there was a guy that helped lot of ppl get their PS5 and there was another person in Noida that bought two bundles and sold them at MRP just to help others, so all in all the community really came together on this.

Anyways I got my PS5 today and rooting that other people also get theirs!
Happy Gaming! (Also GTA 6, let's goooo)
