And the scalpers are having fun on ebay

 

[Purgatory]

Seems only the portal and standard pros left now.

I can see the pros selling out, but the portals...not so much


rp2000

Portal lool ... shocked they even did a version of them, guessing they took their old stock and stuck the 30th anniversary cases on them .. Can't see them selling out as even the scalpers don't want them ...

 

[Chris1712]

because people were out to scalp the limited edition stuff it seems... the regular pro will not sell out.. It's too expensive , the bundle at least made it feel special for the price and you can say ohh well its a limited edition and nice to have... the regular one naa not for £700...

Aye the 30th Pro bundle almost seems like good value for money considering you get the drive, stand, elite controller, recharger station module etc.

Bundle does not include the disc drive FYI, wouldn't say the price was especially compelling for that either!

You don't get the drive ... but the rest... that was also what was missing on that but £1060 in total with the drive and say well its special..and some nice controllers and charger dock..and the rest of the gimmicky stuff added .

OH. The coldness returns!

I haven’t used a drive in years personally. But can understand why people want them. My slim is sat upright with no stand and no drive

I hate disks, but they are always cheaper and can be resold.

My normal Pro pre ordered confirmed with payment around shipping day.

 

[Chris1712]

Tbh I don't think the Pro at 699 is that bad. I do wonder if it was £599 but 1TB what the reaction would be. Considering a slim with a 2tb would be £450 ish, +250 for the new grunt seems reasonable to me. Got to remember inflation since launch is ~25% and yen has also devalued ~27% since then, not sure it's profiteering per se.

 

[rIcK]

I forgot about this. Logged in about 11 30 and waited for 10 mins and got a pre order.

Ashame it's all white. My current PS5 is black controllers and using dark plates. I truly hate white things.

It's a valid argument to a point but I still cannot get past the base model is still being manufactured at almost half the price; does the PRO truly offer double the performance? No.

I wasn't going to bother, but with the PS6 likely around 2027/28 I thought why not. Will get years of enjoyment from it.

The total number means something, but i forget what it is.

It's supposed to represent the date when the PS1 was first released on 3rd December 1994. Should have used ISO8601 to be honest, at least then we'd be in with a chance of actually buying one.

Same I hope they release some black plates for it.

 

[DIABLO]

The 30th controller was pretty easy to get, a lot easier than the Spider-man plates and controller.

 

[budge1972]

I missed out on the 30th edition but my preorder for the pro is in.
I'm a sucker for special edition/day one consoles

 

[DIABLO]

Though it has not been confirmed by Sony i don't think, it has been said that it uses the same plates as the slim which are already available in black.

I personally couldn't be arsed, but it seems that people are having success getting the 30th edition listings removed from eBay by reporting them as they can't be delivered within 30 days of the listing ending, thus breaking the policy.

5k and 10k prices on the pro 30 on Ebay, I think its such a scummy practise, scalpers could be put to bed if Ebay and the likes actually stopped it altogether.

Agree would be nice if ebay pulled their finger out and done something.

Ended up ordering a pro incase it sold out, might cancel it before dispatch. At least now my options are open.
