Just minutes after the pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle went live in the UK, shoppers were slammed with “sold out” messages, which had some gamers upset obviously. Not long after, multiple listings for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundles hit eBay, with scalpers seeking up to £10,000.
These scalpers don’t even have hands-on with the PS5 Pro bundles, they’re just selling their successful pre-orders, so this is just capitalism at play… it’s not nice, but it is nigh impossible to stop. There are even counter listings on eBay that are warning shoppers from buying pre-ordered PlayStation 5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition bundles from scalpers.
