This.
I hate scalping and even when I've had the opporunity to do it haven't sold at that value. But really the issue is on the consumer - nobody is forcing anybody to pay these prices.
This isn't a concert or sporting event that has limited seats and is a one time only thing.
It's a console, and in 6-8 months they will probably be easily available on shelves. People who are paying $1000 plus right now only have themselves to blame.
Separately: Anybody with a PS5 from Bestbuy get an out for delivery notice today? My PS5 has been in Calgary since Friday night, but still haven't seen an out for delivery from CP this morning
