If you’re still frantically hitting «refresh» on your browser hoping to find a PS5 for sale, allow me to paraphrase Cpl. Hicks when he told Ripley to ease down on the accelerator in the movie Aliens: You’re just grinding metal. The PlayStation 5, Sony’s next-generation console that launched nearly a month ago, has been virtually impossible to find anywhere, in stores or online. Right now the only PS5s you can buy are marked up to obscene prices on reseller sites like eBay and StockX, often several times their retail value of $400 or $500 (depending upon which model you want). People are getting desperate for any crumbs of restocking news, and gamers have been collectively turning to Twitter for rumors and speculation. Last week, for example, our friends in Canada got a heads up on some inventory at Walmart, but that doesn’t do Americans much good since there hasn’t been a similar inventory drop in the US.
