I didn't even realize the PS5 was out, did anybody even buy the PS4?

  To be fair, it's been impossible to buy a PS5 since it came out unless you're willing to really jump through hoops for it

    I and two of my friends bought PS5s. It took some effort, but it wasn’t too bad. We all got them within a month of deciding to buy. I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying though, you have to find an opportunity to buy and then make the right moves to get one.

    Out of a whim, I checked the Playstation store, and they actually had the PS5 in stock. I'm paying some extra for the blu-ray edition with Horizon bundle, but it's still cheaper than scalpers.

    That's something that people who have no interest in buying one say - because if you did, you'd find that they have been in stock for months from various retailers and it's not an issue to buy one at all.

      ah, fair enough.. I gave up on trying to buy a PS5 about six months ago when I "won" the Newegg Shuffle and bought an RTX 3080 TI at a huge markup

      You can say that when that's true for all global markets.

      That is completely false. Stop repeating this. Entire Reddit groups and Twitter accounts exist to track restocks, eg r/CanadaPS5.

    Bought one a year ago here in Australia - went to an IRL retailer (!) who said they would put us on the list for their next shipment. About a week later, we got it. Seems there are still ongoing issues though.

You should look up the concept of bubbles. Because you are in a serious bubble if you aren’t just being facetious. Or was this one of those ‘I don’t even have a tv’ weird flexes.

  I'm not a teenager any more either, could have something to do with it.

    Hmm, out of touch followed by condescending. What point are you trying to make?
