Sony has barely announced its new PlayStation 5 Pro console, and already a limited edition bundle has popped up on eBay with a price tag that’s sure to make your jaw drop: $10,000. This isn’t some random seller, either – the listing promises to “ATTEMPT TO BUY FOR YOU,” which translates to essentially guaranteeing you a bundle for a hefty sum.
While it’s undeniably tempting to jump at the chance to secure a limited edition console, it’s important to remember that the hype surrounding the PS5 Pro is real. With only 12,300 units of the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition being produced, scalping is almost inevitable. This means getting your hands on one of these highly sought-after bundles, which comes with a unique design, 2TB of SSD storage, Wi-Fi 7, and a collection of limited edition accessories, will be a challenge.
The eBay listing offers a glimpse into the challenges gamers might face. It’s a stark reminder that scalping is a prevalent issue in the gaming community, and that we’re likely to see more of it as the PS5 Pro launch approaches. So, if you’re hoping to get your hands on the 30th Anniversary Edition, be prepared for a potential uphill battle and a hefty price tag. If you were lucky enough to secure one, would you even dare to open it? Or would you keep it pristine, a testament to the elusive and coveted world of limited edition consoles?
