Sony’s lunges start to touts in the form of emails: PlayStation 5 stocks will go to players without going through the black market
The stocks of PlayStation 5 are starting to be distributed directly to console fans Sony. A post on Reddit shared the good news, including a mobile screenshot that we will report below. The launch of PS5 will also be what Jim Ryan has called the biggest ever, but the console was immediately subject to the whims of the touting. Fortunately, the music is about to change thanks to direct sales to the consumer by the Japanese giant, although the service was not born exactly with this explicit purpose.
The stocks of the hype: Sony sells PlayStation 5 directly to us
The service was previously announced, but the PlayStation 5 stock shortage has convinced Sony to extend it in Europe. For now, Italy is not covered, with all due respect to the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Holland, Belgium and Germany. However, this will prove to be a major blow to the scalping generated around PS5, given the pride that private retailers have shown about their higher prices. They’ll likely have to make do with the 3,500 copies of Sony’s new flagship platform they’ve amassed now circulating emails like the one below.
For those who do not remember, we allude to CrepChief (at the time CrepChiefNotify), an English group of touts. A spokesperson for them has shown no small arrogance regarding the barely legal use of bots, with which they have completed over three thousand purchases. Many of them apparently paid off their mortgages, which leads us to think how they could afford whole batches of consoles in the first place. Certainly, however, with the newborn system PlayStation Direct console availability will no longer be a problem for players. Our wallets will soon be safe, it seems!
