So you\u2019re probably wondering why you haven\u2019t seen the console in any gaming stores. Well, the reason is very simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have a lot of stock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact they\u2019ve been having this issue since the release of the console. So people around the world are finding different ways to get their hands on this machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Dubai particularly, you can\u2019t get the console in any retail outlets. This has led to a trend known as scalping. Where some people use bots to buy multiple PS5\u2019s (Since online outlets usually only allow one purchase per person) and sell them at a much higher rate than market price. Bots, or software that helps scalpers know when products are in stock and can hammer retailers with orders faster than any regular customer could hope to on their own. Bots help scalpers know when PS5\u2019s are available in stock, and will continuously order faster than any normal person can do on their own. In summary, scalpers are the worth type of people, and they ruin it for the rest of us.<\/span><\/p>\n
