Blame it on the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the production of electronic chips. Only then, the PS5 is very popular and in high demand, and resale sites have understood this perfectly. In an attempt to compensate for the lack of consoles, resellers are organizing console “drops”, where the PS5 is made available briefly for purchase. The first-come, first-served rule is more relevant than ever.
In addition, it is important to note that Amazon receives relatively regular restocking and reserves them for its Amazon Prime members. If you haven’t subscribed to the e-commerce giant’s subscription service, you can still avail of its 30-day free trial period.
