Only you can prevent scalpers by not buying from them. The console isn't that hard to get if you do a bit of research and follow restock tweets on Twitter. I managed to get one and help 2 friends get theirs too. Don't be so lazy and wait, learn the tips and get in on the next restock!

Yeah, it should definitely be on the consumer to sacrifice a goat under a blood moon in order to buy a console. Following sites on Twitter to monitor and wait for inventory drops because botters are allowed to buy up as many as they like during a shortage is greedy and lazy, not the people who are wanting to spend their entertainment dollar on said product.

I keep a playstation exclusively for gran turismo.  7 has about ruined that. Until playstation has a legitimate rival for gamepass I'm out. Why should I keep buying playstation consoles plus having to buy games while xbox gives me every studio developed game it releases for the price of 1 game per year?  Microsoft is thinking like Netflix and Sony is playing blockbuster. They need to start being Hulu instead. Negligible if any graphics or performance improvements isn't the future of gaming.  90% of players don't care. Once you get 4K at 60 fps reliably there isn't anywhere much to go visually now. Thousands of dollars of games for pennies on the dollar are insane value. 

we still awaiting for the official keyboard mouse support for better gaming experience. Hori Tac Pro isn't so good.

In other words, it's an fps/proprietary DLSS box , no major graphical enhancements, I could see ms jumping to nxt gen sooner than expected weighing for the later reason, it's the only way to compete sony just like the 360.

By then I'll just build me a hell of a bad azz pc future proof.

This is literally just a random guess based on RDNA3, Zen4 , the new manufacturing process and an arbitrary time period. They could have added that pcie 5 nvme support may be added, further enhancing the loading times of games. Is it true? Maybe. Do we know? No. Or how about "possibly utilizing an MCM graphics architecture on the SOC for better  efficiency while boosting the performance of it's gpu higher than even the best amd graphics cards on desktop". Is it true? Maybe. Do we know? No.

Sony has sold more PS5s since release than PS4s in the same time frame after its release, and no, they didn't all go to scalpers.

I've been a Sony guy since the original Playstation but only scalpers can even get a PS5 currently. F**k Sony for screwing this up so badly.

The very thing you guys are talking about is what I was thinking.  Cannot even get a regular one, let alone a Pro.

Well, I can.  For about $750+.

Maybe by the time it's out crap will have leveled out.

Lol can't even get a regular PS5 anywhere because they won't do anything about scalpers, but they wanna release a Pro .. what a joke.

Curious how Sony is going to prevent scalpers. Have been trying to get my hands on a PS5 ever since its release  :-\
