CEX Daylight Robbery

At a recent visit to a Tier 2 pub, a young chap walked in with a PS5 under his arm (still boxed).

When asked how the frig he got hold of one, he said he ordered from Amazon DE and got one fairly easily. He said the only difference was the plug which was simple to change and that the console would work exactly the same.

Don't know how true that is?

100% true - Playstation has always just used a kettle lead and is Bi-volt

Yeah saw a few on Twitter grab them from Amazon Germany/Holland etc but they sold out pretty quickly too. Even saw people from the US getting them from the UK Amazon, paying, then having their orders cancelled.

Was there this lack of stock on PS4 release? I don't remember

Not sure exactly Greg but I really don't think so, nothing like this anyway. I didn't get one on release day, can't remember if I just didn't bother to pre-order or couldn't, but I walked into Argos about a week after they came out and bought one (without ordering).

There’s been a lot more resellers buying them up this time round.

I do find it a bit odd the amount of people looking to buy one already though at those high prices, I don’t think the games are there yet to warrant paying over the odds.

Some proper weirdos about.
Why bother paying £700-£800 for a ps5 when in a couple months you can get one for less than half that... Especially as you say, the games just aren't there yet.
There really is no point.

CEX generally stinks when you walk in. Horrible places with horrible people. Staff included.

My local CEX has a mixture of tatood feminists and emo blokes, one of the girls has a tattoo right across her chest with her droopers hanging out, the other has very few teeth and a tash.

As for the blokes they seem friendly but look like they need a bath.

Yh agree about the staff. Proper weirdos.
