Why the PS5 video game console is still so hard to find — and tips on how to score one
CBSN
When Sony debuted the PlayStation 5 in November 2020, supplies quickly sold out, while gamers battled bots to scoop up limited inventory. A year later, scoring one of the video game consoles remains a tall task, frustrating consumers.
"It's the hot item. Your kids want it, and you want to make your kids happy and it's exciting to say you got one," said Michael Kan, a reporter at PCMag who has tracked the console shortage. "It's going to be extremely hard, especially now — it's really about how determined you are."
The PS5 isn't cheap: The digital edition sells for $400, while the Blue-ray console will set you back $500. And that's if you manage to find one at the retail price. On eBay and other sites, resellers are marking up the consoles to $700 or more.
