Getting ready to go t the local mall so I can sit in line with my youngest son for hours before the Game Stop even opens hoping we can buy a PS5. Yesterday we had to buy him a $15 "Elite Club" membership because, apparently, Game Stop will only sell hot items like PS5s to people if they buy a membership. Further more, the dirt bags know there are not enough PS5s to go around so you can't just buy the console by itself. Nope, they are greedy and want extra money so they only sell them with a bundle of other stuff which you may or may not want.
So a $500 PS5 gets bundled with $300 of extra shit and you have to pay $800 for all of it. What a racket. Yet the youngest won't stop talking about how badly he wants a PS5 and reminding me that his cousin already has one and how much he really wants to play online with his cousin and other friends. As if he could not already do that on Nintendo, his Meta Quest 2, or the laptop he already has.
Grab the machine that takes the psychical disc or you'll be paying to play..
That is what we ended up doing. I am glad we got there early because they only had 11 consoles with the DVD player and there were over 30 people in line before the store even opened. We were third in line.
