I saved up to buy this console only to be told that it is not available at the stores.

I am assuming that, for instance, if the Ps5 is easily available in the market, the price won't have skyrocketed.

Head_Hunter Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 I don't think their is any available PS5 at the moment, unless the user wants to pre-order and wait for it's later availability.

It's actually not a big deal to switch from one playing platform to another as long as you have the money to get the new console.

The stress I go through trying to get games during promotional offers like Black Friday is something I wouldn't put myself through again.
egghead Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 If you rush to buy the game as soon as it is launched, you might have to pay a hefty price, but if you can wait, the same game will be available for reduced price.
