All these retailers should be embarrassed, or at least acknowledge that they’re incompetent pieces of shiznit that are frowned upon by consumers.

You can’t tell me that in 2020, they have no way of implementing a way to stop bots from automatically snatching up all inventory…which is a rather big deal since it causes a lot of disruption and things that people don’t need during these particular times…. Yet, it’s being blatantly downplayed and as far as I can tell nothing has changed in the way they do business.

My only guess is that they simply don’t give a fudge as long as its inventory being sold. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if retailers/employers were in on it….and as for the “scalpers”, who think they’re some kind of badass hustlers (pathetic nerds that would steal from their own grandmas purse), well we can only hope that somebody gives them a good beating or robs them or some other misfortune for the love of karma.

@Spartan_418:

For a mere extra $100 (same price as the headphones & almost same price as a next gen game + tax); the disk drive adds too much value…no brainer really.

Nobody’s forcing you to strictly use discs either, but at least you won’t be severely limited in both functionality and game retailers…you’ll be at the mercy of the PSN store only which is plagued with rip offs.

Its always good to have a positive attitude…

Demon’s Souls gets a pass… I wouldn’t care if it was $100. At least you know ur getting your moneys worth and replay value w/out the need for microtransactions.

@dancingcactus:

The person playing in those trailers had their stats jacked up…definitely damage output/poise, that’s why he was able to block everything w/out staggering and 1 hitting everything except the boss

Thats just fine and dandy, as long as I’m getting what I pay for… quality > quantity/cheap garbage. I don’t like paying extra for gimmicks though…would prefer just a solid, well built controller with just enough buttons for me to whoop your ass/shoot you with.

@draziczach:

Thanks for the tip…now I know which router to upgrade to. Wasn’t concerned with Wi-Fi 6 but that should be the last component needed for me to take full advantage of the PS5.

@naomha1: I don't talk about games at parties.

“Costly” isn’t in their vocabulary… who cares what it cost when they’ll be keeping their consumer base happy and making their money back a quadrillion times over for years to come. Failing to deliver would be the worst case scenario.
