@@joeyinfinity920 The difference is though that you can still play your PlayStation, GameCube, Dreamcast etc. They function as they did when they released. In 15-20 years time the likelihood that the ps5 will even function is slim. A lot of games these days require accounts linked to servers, servers which will eventually be turned off. Even worse for the digital only consoles. This will be a 5k door stop. So even if you were wealthy, still a ridiculous amount to pay for it. In my opinion.
eBay need to sort this, it's against their own policy to list pre-orders that won't ship for 40 days so you can report the listing and there's a chance it will get taken down (I've actually reported a few and had emails back saying they are being removed). They'd probably be sold somewhere else, but eBay is the big platform for this sort of nonsense. People spending 5 grand on a console are mad, even if you have the money and you have FOMO currently, you'll get it in hand, look at it for a bit and be bored of it by the end of the day then absolutely hate it after a week when you realise how hard you've been ripped off by someone who's eating good that night off of your money.
The idea is that new products should not be sold for more than the recommended retail price (RRP) for a certain period, like a year or two. This would prevent scalpers from taking advantage of the situation. It's a growing issue across various industries, from Pokemon and Warhammer to video games and clothing.
I tried so hard to get one. I promised my 12 year old nephew I was gonna give him my launch edition, and I was buying the 30th Pro. These scalpers are ridiculous.

This offering was a slap in face for EVERY Sony fan out there...even WORSE than the PS3 launch, at least that console had a disc drive capable of playing blu ray discs which were new at the time.
The original PS5 & Slim versions are 100% "Good Enough" since there are hardly any noticable differences in the Pro Enhanced Games. Common sense & Logic should prevail to save that money for the upcoming "PS6" in approx. 2 years.🙂
As well as Sony's Aniversary version, I would never purchase a standard "PS5 Pro" in the U.S. especially without Sony including the Optical Drive. However ...other Countries are really getting screwed over with their even much higher MSRP prices.
RELEASE IN PHYSICAL LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLINE ONLY IS THE MOST BULLCRAP ANTI CONSUMER nonsense ever!!! THese companies will BUrn IN HELL. PHYSICAL LINES ARE KING
I logged into Playstation Ditect at 10:42 and all PS5 Pro 30 Anniversary Editions were already sold out. The question is how many consoles did they put on sale? 10%-15% of 12,300
The cue system was a good idea but scalpers will have a way around it especially when the cue is assigned randomly. Since a PSN account is already required to make a purchase, SCEI should have adopted the PSN seniority strategy and let the oldest PSN accounts enter first then go down the line. Anyone including scalpers can just create an account like minutes prior and still get in front of the cue.
Account requirements would of been a good idea - but I think that would of put resale prices above 10k and we would be looking at silly numbers like 15/20k
Yeah I got into the queue about 10:20 and actually managed to get the digital slim 30th anniversary in my basket but had no intention of buying. I did manage to get a 30th controller on Amazon and even that was sold out instantly after
Nah! ... just make a made to order period of say 3mths so everyone who wants one can buy it during that time period, after that date they are not produced anymore and its tough. Its also a benefit as Sony knows exactly the level of demand for the product so doesnt over or under produce units.
Removable disk drives is a great thing should have been implemented years ago , laser on the disk drive was always first thing to go on a ps no matter what gen
Totally agree 👍 Sony should have made the 30th anniversary items invite only for their loyal fans / premium plus members - but they just threw them to the dogs !! So frustrating !
I Pre-Ordered the 2TB Xbox Series X. Can’t wait to get that one… I’ll wait for the 30TH Anniversary PS5 Pro! They’ll be back sooner or later those fools will loose a bunch of money….
It made me wait 2 hrs due to the lottery system, but wouldn't let me add anything to the cart, not even the non anniversary stuff,... only to kick me back out to the queue.
I was just interested in the controller. Looked online at the UK stores at around 3pm (including the PlayStation UK site) and could not find it anywhere. On Amazon UK I could find the controller listed but it said it was currently unavailable. I refreshed the page about an hour later and was able to pre order the controller, but I just checked the listing again and it has gone back to unavailable. I would have thought the controller would be more widely available than the pro console - I am sure there will be a restock of the controller.
Scalpers not even have the item on hands; yet they're attempting to sell an item they don't possess yet. What's even more shocking is people actually buying from Scalpers. It's Insane.
Personally I think that the full gray and design overall isn’t good at all. I do get it because it’s paying homage to the very first PS. I personally would much rather have seen something more similar to the PS4 with a 3d paint style with mini logos that pop out only when viewed at angles. Along with an integrated LED light. Maybe a 30th anniversary game too that has special content to come along with the console.
I waited 2 and a half hours in the queue and couldn’t get one, pissed me right off as a PlayStation fan. I did manage to get the controllers as a consolation prize though
I tried at 9am as didn't know when it started, queue was paused like in Europe until about 10am, then joined a 1 hour queue to get onto PS Direct, I only wanted a Dualsense controller and pleased to say I got one. But buy about 11am when I got on PS5 Anniversary bundles had sold out, PS Portal was available. In terms of re-selling, are scalpers having multiple accounts to buy several? Why would anyone pay that amount, and something for pre-order on Ebay from a random seller, no it's crazy.
I got a PS1 with one of my first paychecks at 16 in 95. Waited in line in college to get PS2 (first in line, installed it in my Tahoe within 10 min). Never got a PS5. Got the 30th bundle today.
I agree with some points you've made but imo I think Sony should make and release the 30th edition in a much larger scale. Not only limiting them to 12k of them made but say 500k or maybe even 1 Million. Keep the price the same but just release more of them, that'll help curb the scalpers a bit. But I knew this since they released the advertisement awhile ago. Vanity and Limited have a hefty price tag. Sad thing is people will pay it..... For those prices on eBay, I would've built a gaming PC that would put that Pro to shame for years. And it's not hard ATM. GPU is a RTX 6700 or equivalent. Which is pretty much yesterdays card.
Not condoning it but what if they're doing it to fund their own gaming collection tho... it would be like flipping things for extra CEX credit but on an industrial scale
The problem is the people who buy from the scalpers. They wouldn’t do it unless there’s a market, there’s obviously a very lucrative market for ripping off idiots.
Sony is watching what people will pay as they did with the regular PS5. That’s why the limited edition is 1000.00 because people were willing to pay that to get the PS5. This is why purchasing the pro is doing more harm than good. Not only does it allow Sony to launch a weak console at the start, but to continually release the real version or “pro” of that console in its mid gen cycle charging you more for what should of already been the console at launch. PS6 will probably need a PSN sub account to even activate it because if people are willing to spend 1000.00 for that console and more…what’s stopping Sony from making people pay more to even use it?
This is something that Governments in every country should be looking at. Make this illegal. So when websites like Ebay detect a new product like this being sold 5X the price at retail? Ban these sellers permanently or even send them to prison.
the only difference between the ps5 pro and the ps5 pro anniversary edition is some plastic plates. THATS IT! im sure there will be after market ones released.
It’s beyond a joke that there was no safety measure put in place to prevent scalpers. I would have loved the chance to have brought one for my collection but no way in hell I’m I paying the outrageous amount that people are charging them for on eBay
It went exactly to plan for Sony, they loves scalpers. They don't care who buys their products, only that they sell. Hopefully it doesn't go to plan for scalpers though, and people don't buy from them.
I have literally been sitting at the checkout basket screen from 10AM this morning and it is past 6PM and I still can't check out. I give up. I would have thought Sony would have made this easier than 2020.
eBay should restrict any consoles period. No ifs no butts no console whatsoever that includes the old ones, unfortunately. I know it would probably go in the dark web but it’s a step in the right direction if they stop this on eBay but you need eBay collaboration. Sony also have to have a PSN account one per household authorisation from a landline only or possibly a passport authorisation to say that you’re a human being. There are numerous ways but these are just some of the ideas they could restrict one per household. It sounds harsh but that’s the reality of it all like you have advocated above. They’ll probably use the financial gain to purchase more and they’ll probably have a quick turnaround time in order for financial gains they’re probably not gamers at all Just my two cents on it thanks again. Take care of your friends and family and bye for now just be patient out there and purchased through reputable retailers. Do not purchase through scalpers you don’t have a manufacturing warranty even though you have a receipt just putting it out there for the thought.
I had no interest in buying a new playstation Pro or not. But i did get a controller, so technically, i won. So who wants it for £150000000 first come, first serve
at 1:10 u can see the top one isn't actually a ps5 pro its a a4 sheet of paper for 1k pounds which people have bought he has made 10k from just that alone which is horrendous
Bro there were only 12,500 units available for the world. Odds are that you would never see one anyway whether it's 5k or 1k usd for the bundle or not. The problem is Sony . Instead of complaining you all should just boycott the PRO and boycott the ps5 all together and make your voice heard that that's what we all want , a PS 1 looking ps5
Sony is absolutely disgusting ! I’ve been a fan my entire life but this is the last draw & it’s buying a PC for me . Would have been nice if they offered PlayStation owners / psplus membership owners should have gotten a chance to buy first .
It's going to be the same when the new gpu comes out for pc greed greed greedy people that think greed and people like me how struggle can't even get a chance to buy one because of this
I bet all of the PSN accounts that were linked to the accounts that bought the 30th anniversary don't even have a single minute of playtime on them...... Not all but ill say like 80%
No, any kind of gatekeeping for socalled hardcore fans is just nonsense and it should be open to all. The scalping, resale is a crappy practice but forcing preconditions because someone is apparently more hardcore than another, that is crappy and just lame.
@@chasejackson7248 I see. Well in that case all hardcore, no lifers should be forced to work outside, grow and then touch grass at least for 5 years with no internet. All the casual should get all the early access. Gatekeeping is such fun.

Do not purchase through scalpers you don’t have a manufacturing warranty even though you have a receipt just putting it out there for the thought.
As long as there is a demand speculation will follow.
It wouldn’t even let me add to cart smh.
Until there’s tough rules it’s always going to happen! #greed #capitalism ps the next PlayStation needs Ai features
Sony need to do there job right !! because am tired of scalper am just going to build a gaming pc and call it a day period !
Tin hat theory: wonder if the sellers are buying them from other accounts to encourage more people to pay the price for them?
I had no interest in buying a new playstation Pro or not. But i did get a controller, so technically, i won. So who wants it for £150000000 first come, first serve
Normal or pro controller?
I managed to get the normal controller
@@stephenthompson2505 same. I managed to get that controller too. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@Betaaaagamer I tried again to get the pro controller all sold out by then tho
@@Betaaaagamer normal, I was not paying 230 for a controller.
They need to sell those grey panels separate
I guess I will chalk that up as a loss
It was so hard to get ... i stopped giving a shiattt and bought a switch
at 1:10 u can see the top one isn't actually a ps5 pro its a a4 sheet of paper for 1k pounds which people have bought he has made 10k from just that alone which is horrendous
Playstation does a anniversary edition every 10 years 🎉
Bro there were only 12,500 units available for the world. Odds are that you would never see one anyway whether it's 5k or 1k usd for the bundle or not. The problem is Sony . Instead of complaining you all should just boycott the PRO and boycott the ps5 all together and make your voice heard that that's what we all want , a PS 1 looking ps5
Isn't PISSER tech software based? So why can't they add it to the base PS5???? :)
Sony is absolutely disgusting ! I’ve been a fan my entire life but this is the last draw & it’s buying a PC for me .
Would have been nice if they offered PlayStation owners / psplus membership owners should have gotten a chance to buy first .
You know what, Xbox consoles not selling will be rare consoles one day. 😂😊
just meet som1 up with it and just give them the money they payed for.....if they refuse 🙊🙊🙉🙉🙈🙈
It's going to be the same when the new gpu comes out for pc greed greed greedy people that think greed and people like me how struggle can't even get a chance to buy one because of this
I could win the Lotto in the morning and I still wouldn't pay that price for a console.
you would be to busy dancing.
Maybe just wait until its in the shops? 🤔
How can anyone be so stupid to spend 5 grand on a mid gen upgrade🤦♂️
It's definitely not Londoners 😂
I bet all of the PSN accounts that were linked to the accounts that bought the 30th anniversary don't even have a single minute of playtime on them......
Not all but ill say like 80%
CEX credit has ruined it for you guessed it
extremely limited edition ps5 pro? 10 quid cash and 11 store credit
@@Devilsaur😂😂😂
I got the regular ps5 pro pre ordered today
You aren't going to stop scalpers only way to minimize it would be only to sell in stores.
people get relatives to go to stores.
No, any kind of gatekeeping for socalled hardcore fans is just nonsense and it should be open to all. The scalping, resale is a crappy practice but forcing preconditions because someone is apparently more hardcore than another, that is crappy and just lame.
It's not casuals shouldn't get anything but madden and call of doody
@@chasejackson7248 I see. Well in that case all hardcore, no lifers should be forced to work outside, grow and then touch grass at least for 5 years with no internet. All the casual should get all the early access. Gatekeeping is such fun.
People complaining yet still buy it
Scalpers are not the problem
You guys are
The pro sold our this morning
