It sounds like the PlayStation 5 should be the ideal gift for a gamer around the holidays, but one girlfriend learned the hard way that even the opportunity to give a seemingly perfect gift comes with certain risks.
got a PS5 for her boyfriend, and yet the generous gesture gave her a Christmas headache.
The PlayStation 5 has remained hard to find in most stores since it launched in November 2020. Although Sony believes it will soon be easier to find one playstation 5a quick check shows that there are no units available in the big box stores where people usually buy these types of items.
Stores that do have stock often offer the console only as part of a bundle, while resellers and bots continue to hog the limited supply of units online on auction sites for a hefty profit.
Against all odds, a girlfriend got a PS5 for her boyfriend in time for Christmas, and then broke down in tears when the young man’s parents first presented their gifts, which included a PS5. A TikTok video shows the young woman crying on the sofa as she talks to her boyfriend while her sister films the occasion.
“How did your parents get it?” asks the bride tearfully. “She has been sold out everywhere.” The video doesn’t explain where the girlfriend got the PS5, which must have been difficult since the PS5 sells out in less than an hour when Sony sells it outright.
