Extremely hard to find in stores, easy to over pay to get one, so does anyone here have one or plan to get one?

You already know but yeah, I have one. Managed to pre-order one from Amazon and I was very lucky to get it at launch. It was such an easy experience as well, I got notified that Amazon would have stock at 9 am on a weekday, logged on, and bought it.

I've already got one. I lucked into getting a bundle from GameStop back in June, but I absolutely love the system. It sucks that it is still so hard to get, especially because it seems like its scalpers with bots that are snatching up the bulk of the inventory.

I like to get one, but I can hold out to whatever next best PS5 model there will be.

It will be a while away though don't you think? With all the shortages affecting a lot of companies, I can see them wanting to focus on the normal base version for a longer period.

I have one. It is a good console but I regret buying it because I only play one game on it.

Hard to say, I should be ready to upgrade in 2 years, so I'll see how the market is then.

It takes awhile for new games to come out, a bit longer thanks to covid. It will be nothing but PS5 in three years.

Can't wait for it, to be honest. Once the games just developed for the PS5 come out, it's going to be a very exciting time for us. Especially with all the controller haptics and trigger effects.

I can't afford to buy PlayStation 5. IT costs about $1000 in the local market. I am more of a PC gamer. I also play on mobiles.

It's all due to resellers really, upping the price beyond what it should be

True but the official price would still be the normal retail price if it was just resellers. I think import taxes has definitely ruined the retail price for some countries.

I'm sure Sony and Nintendo has had to eat the import taxes to keep their sales up, but I know they make up for it in software.

Oh no, this is for certain countries where they add import taxes for things coming from outside the country to encourage people to buy things made in the country. The gaming companies won't get involved with that. Like this - www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/jhdyh5/import_taxes_have_basically_doubled_the_price_of/

ash - Astro's Playroom is actually a lot of fun and it does a great job of showing off the system's (and specifically the controller's) new features.

Nice to know you liked it. I honestly didn't expect it to be as good as it was. It's a shame that the other games don't take full advantage of the controller's new features, especially the bit where you can blow into the controller.

Try it as soon as possible. You'll appreciate the controller a lot more after playing it
