    Will someone help me find a ps5? This is getting ridiculous. I can just buy a gaming PC. Why is this so scarce?

    People are still camping out for this? But I can built a gaming PC within minutes that's more powerful than a PS5? Doesn't make any sense dawg

    I got mine a month ago through Gamestop. You have to be a pro member to get access to them when they drop and they only sell them in bundles. But I was able to get it that day with really no hassle. Even had time to input a gift card and trade credit card numbers in for payments. The bundles keep the scalpers/bots and away so you have a much better shot.

    Scalpers should get the death penalty.

    I was lucky to get a PS5 back in February, but my son wants the Series X. I got him the Series S for Xmas, but that one blows. Doubt I'll find an X before Xmas :(

    I see it mentioned all the time here and in other places but can you really build a better system than the series X, ps5... for the same price fairly easily? I thought graphic cards were is short demand too or is that just the latest extremely high-end cards?

    Some people don't like PCs for gaming. Deal with it.

    I mean besides PS5 having the better controller it’s all the same. People just lazy to built they own ****, and of course the cost.

    Eh I love PC gaming but the PS5 has some exclusives that I want to play bad that aren't ever going to be on the PC or will be in like... 5 years.

    Now a Xbox is useless if you have a gaming PC because all Xbox exclusives come out on Windows PC.

    Covid caused a massive chip shortage.......which is causing prices to soar while they catch up.

    Not even remotely possible for the same price, it would barely get you the graphics card.
    Sony and Microsoft usually sell their consoles at a net loss and make profits via software.

    Finally got the PS5 at gamestop and my goodness is it a beast. I'm just amazed at the graphics in the Spiderman game.

    If you do Twitter, set up alerts for PS5StockAlerts and Wario64. Took some luck, but coworker and I got ours from PSDirect. He was able to get another one for a friend through GameStop but they seem to only do bundles.

    I’m gaming on an OLED
    It’s almost cheating cause my response time and image quality is so superior
