Are there any PlayStation 5’s available to buy?
So, where are all the PlayStation 5’s? That’s the question everyone is asking and also the question that that apparently no one has a straight answer for.
Simply put, if you have been looking to buy the PlayStation 5 than you may be better off holding out for the PlayStation 6 at the rate all this nonsense is proceeding.
Official sources indicate absolutely nothing of any value other than that some time in the future the elusive console will be available for purchase. Amazon has cut its last tree of hope down with no further information in regards to PS5 consoles except that they have plenty of PS5 accessories, hmm I wonder why that would be... Big W, EB Games and Harvey Norman have also continued to have nothing to offer.
But still, there are a couple of rays of hope for those desperate enough to follow through. The good news is that eBay still has plenty of disk edition consoles available, providing you have taken the time to preorder a good quantity of lube for the reaming you’re about to receive if you bite the pillow and purchase one. For example you could be looking between $1600 and $2000 to get your hands on one. I even seen one desperate seller with a price tag of $10000.00. Who the hell would pay that?
Many people are of the opinion that eBay console scalpers have been beating a dead horse for far too long now and that perhaps it is high times that legislation is changed to stop scalpers in the first place. Whatever the case Scalpers seem to be getting away with it as eBay sales are still proceeding. And than there’s a little known website called Exspansys, that at the time of writing this article still had stock of the digital versions of the console. The good news with this site is that the reaming you will receive for buying one isn’t quite as savage as that offered by eBay. For example you can buy a digital version of the PS5 console from exspansys for $1279.99 whereas eBay Australia currently has absolutely no stock available in the digital versions at all. There is still the possibility that you could purchase a digital console from the United States, providing you pay a premium for it, as well as fork out for the shipping costs. The latest figures seem to suggest that you will pay anywhere between $1200 AUD and $1400 AUD.
If anything changes in regards to preorder or release news I will be sure to keep you updated.
It is best to keep in mind that all current news sources seem to indicate that it could be a couple of months before any good news surfaces in regards to the next preorder wave. In having said all this It could be some time yet before we see the PS5 back on shelves.
