Pre-orders for the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection, including the special edition grey PS5 Pro, have turned into chaos. As a celebration of three decades of gaming excellence, Sony has introduced exclusive items, but these come at a steep price.
Limited Stock and High Demand
With only 12,300 PS5 Pro bundles available worldwide, competition to secure one is fierce. Scalpers have quickly snatched these consoles, leading to resale prices hitting unbelievable heights.

Scalping Issues and Community Response
As expected, scalpers have taken control of the market, with listings on eBay already surpassing £8,000. This nostalgic launch raises questions about Sony's measures against this practice, reminiscent of previous console launches.
While enthusiasts are eager to celebrate, they now face the challenge of inflated prices and the ethics of online reselling.
