As you can easily buy them in a store and avoid both scams and paying too much – people seems to do exactly this.
When the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X were released, you often had to pay a lot of money for the consoles, which were hoarded by so-called scalpers, who then sold them on for outrageous prices. When it was time for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the scalpers were at it again – but apparently they shouldn’t have been.
There are already people in the UK selling multiple PlayStation 5 Pro consoles cheaper than Sony’s standard price on Ebay, which is probably a sign that there is hardware in the shops to buy (which is much safer from a fraud and warranty perspective).
