[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday

A quick look on eBay suggests the only people buying them seen are scalpers.
Hope they all get fucked on this one.
It's already at scalper prices, the fuck are they going to sell it for? Lol.
This is a bit off topic, but it made me nostalgic. My first argument on reddit over a decade ago was with someone, either a scalper or a contrarian, trying to argue that scalpers provided a useful service that made things more fair, rather than assholes creating scarcity so they could profit selling a solution to a problem they themselves create.
So yeah, I hope they all get fucked on this one, too.
Oh they all say this shit, must be included in the standard issue dickhead guide book
This is why I like seeing new tech with a high launch price. Even if I want one, I'm patient, and it would be worth seeing a bunch of scalpers get fucked from just assuming that initial demand will set the price even higher.
I hope they thought they had to wait in an uncomfortable line to grab the ones they got and that the store only offers exchanges and no refunds.
Be nice if it actually came down in price eventually though.
Oh yeah, not just for others who want it but also to cause max pain to scalpers when others can get what they want to sell for cheaper than the scalpers paid for it in the first place. If the price stays the same, there's a good chance the scalpers will be able to at least cut their losses by selling at a slight discount (or even at par if they find the right location for a "you could have this in your hands right now instead of having to go to the store" kinda deal).
