Current gen games run great on it.

Right now I'm playing valhalla on ps4 and its muddy and ugly 30 fps. Its stunning on ps5 and my life would be better if I was currently playing it on that instead.

How do you have enough money to buy that many and still feel the need to do this for only about $200-$500 profit each. I cant imagine someone who can afford thousands worth of consoles would want to go through that hassle.

What I would like to know is who in the Hell is paying $1,700 for a PS5 disc version from one seller when another seller is selling one for $900 buy-it-how?

Then you have this nonsense that happens every time a new system comes out. Some guy lists one and people run the auction up.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Playstation-5-PS5-Digital-Edition-Disc-Free-Console/324382568127?hash=item4b86b52ebf:g:VGsAAOSwVgdfsc27

No one paid $1,950 for this. Now the seller owes Ebay $195 until he gets everything worked out with the bogus ZERO FEEDBACK high bidder. Even the second high bidder wasn't going to pay that high amount.

When you go through the completed listings, you have to question how many sellers actually got paid.

You get 20 free games if your on ps plus. Plus the 3 that are offered this month. That's an instant collection of games spread across a variety of genres.

An upgrade to an SSD that also upgrades current-gen games is worth it for either system.

They kinda do when the bots they're using are limited in quantity and cost a few hundred dollars to have limited time access to them.

There are a handful of popular bots that sneaker heads use, that are being used for this. Price varies on demand for the bot and when the demand is high the amount available of them are limited. So right now you can't actually get any of those bots unless you buy them from someone else and not the actual distributor of the bot. So basically two forms of scalping lol

yea i seen this. article about a group using bots to buy them and they bought almost 2500 of them and then another 1000 preorders. so they legit have 3500 PS5s in a resale group. people that usually do it for sneakers and then pandamic hit and they were buying hot tubs and shit too. now PS5 is the hot new thing.

so they paid $1.75 million for them and making $2.8 million if they sell each for $1300. i do wonder how many people they have in on this to afford paying that much.

i don't know a ton about it, but what i learned trying to get a 3080
basically it seems like the bots scour for inventory and instantly pull the trigger on purchasing at a pace that most mere humans can't compete with

They're programs that search websites immediately as it goes on sale and goes through the process of buying the system at speeds impossible to a regular person.

I saw a screen shot of one dude using a bot that managed to purchase over 100 on launch. Its insane. I'm lucky to grab one from Walmart on launch.

This, especially if you're complaining you can't get high frames on high resolutions right now and you need to spend $1300 to do that. A gaming PC is literally cheaper and more future proof than a $1300 PS5
