PSA: Do not buy PS5/Xbox Series X from resellers with marked-up prices.
Many systems have been bought up by bots or resellers looking to make a quick buck. A quick search on eBay for PS5 shows us countless PS5 listings asking for well over $1,000 at the very least. Some people are asking for upwards of $1,500, three times the $499 MSRP. The same goes for the PS5 Digital Edition, which normally retails for $399 MSRP but is selling for over $1,000. It's still cheaper than the regular PS5, but still not enough to warrant you going for reseller.

Super frustrating — between the Xbox Series X / PS5 and those nvidia 3080/3090 GPUs, bots have made it pretty hard for the regular consumer to stand a chance.
