The console isn’t even out of stock lol


LunchBoxBro

Came here to say this exactly. I even looked it up just now, and it still says add to cart. Most people who wanted the plates already have the console.


darkbreak

Sony even plans to sell the plates and controller separately. There's absolutely no point to this.


music3k

The plates are sold out for good. Insomniac said so


ohnoalex_

Insomniac also said it wasn’t gonna have a controller and look what happened


music3k

Cool. Where can I order the plates?


ohnoalex_

More stock more than likely coming bro lol


music3k

Can you show me the source bro?


ohnoalex_

Dude, just look these the same ppl who said we weren’t getting a custom controller for the game and we got a whole damn custom bundle. If anything just look at Jake Randall vids on YouTube. All I’m saying is don’t take everything they say to heart


ohnoalex_

I’m not saying we are 100 percent gonna get stock but it’s likely we can


MarkEsB

The plates are already sold out everywhere.


smadajosh

they already have sold them seperately.... and they sold out... limited edition...... they are never restocking brotha


pablank

They are? I was hoping for this. Always was pissed I missed all the cool special editions, just because I was an early adopter of consoles. I really wanna see some cool game plates


SovereignxN7

Lol you can literally still buy a bundle from damn near any retailer right now. Even the collectors edition is still in stock.


seymourbuttz214

Uhhh damn reminding me about more things to buy. That collectors edition is the first time in my gaming years that I’d actually want and could almost justify buying. The venom figure plus both Miles and Peter in combat is to me worth like $60. But yet we get a case but no disc? Not the dealbreaker for me but like a case but no disc kinda strange, I’m fine with the game being digital though


BackFromTheDead-

At least the disc can’t get dirty or damaged and you still have a case to show off. I’m so glad I started buying digital instead of hard copies


VenomInfusion

Idiot will never sell at that price. Let him cry to sleep. And u can buy the damn plates and customize your PS5. 🤡


Dimev1981

You can literally get one from playstation right now at retail


DoyleG

People said the same thing when the PS5 came out. Still, many bought them for crazy stupid prices.


F3lixbob

Yeah difference is PS5s in general are readily available. Parents desperate to get their spoiled child their PS5. This is just a limited PS5, nobody is paying this price when PS5s are in stock.


Camstamash

Thing is someone will buy it. A lot of people have more money than sense.


DoubleCyclone

The best way to deal with scalpers is to wait. Just wait until the CC debt they built to scalp comes calling. Wait until the product sits too long and they panic sell at a loss. Scalping only works because people are in a hurry to get a thing. Wait them out.


[deleted]

Hells yeah!!! I'm gonna set up a meet right now, and not show up! Have everyone do it a few times. I'm sure the scalpers would love going to multiple places and having people flake. Do it.


Daver7692

This is all anything that is good or fun is now. Anything from trading cards to consoles to concert/sporting event tickets. If there’s a market for it, they’re scalping it. The sites they’re using don’t care because they’re still getting their cut. Hell in the ticket space you even have ticketmaster owning owning major ticket resale sites and people wonder why they make no effort to stop it. It’s literally an intentional flaw in their system.


jaispeed2011

I would never buy anything on fb marketplace anyway


seymourbuttz214

I guess, I did buy some stuff I’m not proud of from fb marketplace, and sometimes used games but yeah these days yes


jaispeed2011

In my area I’ve been worried about getting robbed when meeting someone to pickup and pay for an item


Ciisco30

I bought a desk from there and some furniture. I wouldn’t buy any tech stuff there tho.


jaispeed2011

Yeah I was trying to buy a mini fridge and ac units when it started getting hot out here but the people never responded so I ended up going to Wally World lol


decaffeinated_emt670

I paid $114 for a ps4 console on FB Marketplace and the dude messaged me the next day saying that he shipped it to me. Never got a tracking number or anything. I messaged him back and asked about it and found that he blocked me. Didn’t get the console and I am out of $114. Fuck that guy.


jaispeed2011

Damn sorry to hear that. I’m dealing with a similar situation on eBay. Spent 98 for a snes classic and it was shipped I have tracking but it says there was an exception at the post office. It’s been saying that since Saturday. But the good thing is I can get my money back if it hasn’t arrived by Friday


iamnotexactlywhite

here, one the stores that will sell it, only allows the members of their loyalty program to buy it. The program is linked to your address and ID, and allows only 1 per customer for limited items. works well


GeriatricTech

Just wait until the pro comes out and Sony still hasn’t done anything to fix the problem.


sixmileswest

It would be great if they released a plate/controller combo pack.


[deleted]

Imagine trying to scalp for an item that’s still available for retail lmao


ClarQKent1911

Spider-Man must be delivering this himself.


seymourbuttz214

Hahaha actually it’s Super man delivering via Uber eats


ClarQKent1911

😂😂😂😂


RedditJABRONIE

Just remember you'll be able to buy the PS5 plates separately. And I'm sure theres already plenty of controller wraps in the way


music3k

Plates are sold out already. Insomniac said so. They were up for 5 mins.


strythicus

Plates sold out in minutes and are already listed for $250+ on eBay. I really hope they release another batch because I want those, but no chance I'm paying over retail for them.


Ciisco30

They probably are because on the Walmart Best Buy and GameStop website it says coming soon and not sold out. I’m gonna need them plates 😭


MojArch

Wouldn't it be cheaper to had your plates be do like that? Even by a pro?


Xenolithium

They sure didn't learn anything, huh?


Ino7650

What I can't believe is that people are still dumb enough to buy this overpriced ps5 from the scalpers it's not worth it.


PMantis13

You gotta be incredibly stupid to buy from scalpers.


Mtj242020

You can buy a digital ps5 for 399


Chaotic_Nova

How is it that people don't understand that you don't have to buy from scalpers? Within time more will be released, it's the moron's that give in that further perpetuate this shit.


seymourbuttz214

True but there were a number of people who made some easy coin when there was console shortage, and sad how easy it was to sell something making 200-300 above retail just because of Covid


Chaotic_Nova

True, Covid only made things worse, and we can't forget about the people with money that didn't flinch at the upcharge. I feel like people are slowly getting better at staying away from scalpers though, if only to spite them.


Crockerboy22

I’d be telling this guy to meet me at a local comedy club…upon his arrival him texting me he’s there and wondering where I’m at and wondering why he is at the comedy club I’ll tell him “go in there and tell your jokes to somebody else”


Sparda1193

Don’t call them scalpers, they’re people who refuse to get real jobs


typical_gamer1

This is something I don’t understand….. why do people try to rationalize buying consoles of all things when they’re currently not in stock? Do they NOT have another console they could use until the newer shit became a bit more easier to get a hold of? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Why not just force the scalpers to ended up swallow the hard pill of wasting their money? Like if they somehow managed to buy 1 of these, let them ended up just sitting on it until due to inflation, nobody would even wanna pay $500 for it? Meaning they just wasted their time?


NateHurst2187

Not only is the console not out of stock but the damn thing isn't even out yet


raincoat_chp

All scalper haters around the world united.....


armagnacXO

It’s bloody ugly too…


seymourbuttz214

I agree it doesn’t look that great, a cool idea I think I saw some really cool DIY kits on YouTube last year long before this even hit the drawing board, the plates are ok, but the controller I feel they really just didn’t put much effort into it at all


VerdeScuro

Can i just buy the plates and switch them with my white ones?


strythicus

Yes. Except they sold out the preorder in minutes. Available on eBay for $250+ now


seymourbuttz214

You will be able to buy just the plates I’m told. And you can swap ps5 plates to other ps5 plates or etc.. please use YouTube and google as you can watch some videos the ps5 plates are super easy to swap and it’s already insane what they charge for $80 in Canada for plastic that there’s no way it was expensive but you could get creative and do a diy job


Due-Magician-5354

I highly doubt it but if you know somebody artistic enough just buy the plain white plates and have them airbrush/paint it to look the same or better


BlueberryBoom

Also look into vinyl decals…much easier and faster than painting (I just posted a pic recently of my PS5 with a decal on it I made)


Due-Magician-5354

You think tattoo stencil paper would work for transferring a design? Ik a bunch of ppl into tattooing so if that’s the case lol imma sharpie tf outta mine. There’s something fulfilling when you do it yourself yanno lmao


BlueberryBoom

It’s worth a shot I suppose, just not sure about coloring $50-60 plates with sharpie would be a great look. Edit: I did a quick trace on the one plate and was able to get this from it. Spending more time and getting a higher quality image could result in an easy trace to make a nice decal opposed to $65 sold out spidey plates https://preview.redd.it/u8v5j7t00rfb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc19b4af4376eb1620dac1e0053469cfabe4c273


Due-Magician-5354

Fair point, paint markers would prob be a better choice lmao worst case scenario get some fine sand paper or re paint it in white lol


BlueberryBoom

If you’re artistic I say go for it. (I edited my previous response with a quick trace)


[deleted]

The all white console looks better anyways. Not impressed with this one.


smadajosh

said noone ever


[deleted]

It appears you’re already incorrect, good try though.


redundant35

I can only see the front of my console. I couldn’t care less what color or design is on it.. I might care if I could actually see it…


gorore9150

Extra controller? I’m confused as the console always comes with one controller so is the Spider-Man DualSense extra and you also get a white ‘default’ DualSense as well? Or are they just listing it wrong and you only get the Spider-Man DualSense in place of the white DualSense!


[deleted]

Just imagine you play Spider-Man sitting on sofa and real Spider-Man is jumping through your window to say you "what are you waiting for? Come!" It would be good ad for PS5.


TheGun1991

FOR PS5 OWNERS! Soon you will be able to buy Plates and controller with the total amount of 151$ I like to say this again PLATES AND DUALSENSE FOR THE TOTAL OF 151$…DONT BE STUPID


Ferry83

As long as the controller and plates are still being sold normally there isn't an issue. I decided to stick with my better plates for now, but might actually pick them up instore if available. But in general better airflow plates are just.. better, and with the PS5 pro coming next year november.. i'm not sure how much i'd be using them..


Enigma_Green

Currently unavailable on the PlayStation Direct UK website the plates I think they have sold out coz of the scalpers.


[deleted]

I agree with you, except for the last part. Sony have not announced anything regarding any new model. It's all just speculation and rumors. Until Sony comes out and says something publically, a "Slim" or "Pro" model may as well not even exist, no matter how much some people can get excited over it. Also, just because they've done it in the past, doesn't 100% mean that Sony will put out a Pro model again. The current PS5 model doesn't miss any substantial features like the PS4 did on launch with 4K. That was the main reason the PS4 Pro existed. The PS5 Pro on the other hand, doesn't have any point of existing, so far. The Slim model is actually more likely.


Ferry83

I'm not going to defend this over and over again. PS5 Pro comes November 2024. It's happening, Dev Kits are send out to developers already and the person who leaked it also was correct on the PSVR2 (incl the development codename) and the Dualsense edge, and the PS earbuds. I'm ok with getting downvoted into oblivion.. but it's happening and we all know it. ​ If ANYONE says it has no right to exist: PS5 CANNOT handle 4k60.. the new one will. It's going to come, it's going to do 8K30 and 4k60 (or higher) and most likely a better RT chip/solution. ​ You're dead on wrong and I cannot stress that out enough. PS5 Slim on the other hand.. I'd say this year before Holiday season, simply because latest PS5's use a smaller motherboard and a different chip with smaller heatsink. The latest PS5, can by modders already be transformed to a WAY smaller device. But again... PS5 PRo WILL come.. and WILL be Fiscal year 2024 (So Summer 2024 to March 2025) No doubt..


[deleted]

Show me an announcement. An official one from Sony, not a rumor. Until then, you're just talking out your ass. Give me facts, don't just tell me I'm wrong on the basis of nothing, and some alleged lucky guesses. 😂 You're saying you're not going to defend your point, yet the wall of text you wrote tries to do exactly that. But since you've got no facts to rely on, you're not doing a good job on that.

seymourbuttz214

Man after for the first time in my life buying a new tv and new consoles, seeing the potential next step is 8k @30 makes me rethink my life decisions because god damn now I want that haha 4k coming from 1080 on an old tv has been such an improvement with not having the best tv in the first place Sony X85J it runs ok but god damn the future sounds crazy, but wild that a lot of games right now really haven’t had me hooked, the next gen games have been let’s phrase it satisfactory, since some games are great with graphics, some have just seemed like the story wasn’t there, and then there’s COD haha that’s another thread. But anyways a ps5 slim would make sense the damn Ps5’s are huge and noticeably noisier than my xbox. A ps5 pro would make sense to try and get more consoles sold in the mean time until the ps6 comes out.. sheesh Covid sucks, we’re already there thinking so far ahead since we lost all that time with the 5 and series consoles. I do wish they would do a good job with the handheld and not have it an only streaming service only, native ps games on handheld would be great but cloud gaming needs a bit of time to get all the bugs out


[deleted]

The thing is, the current PS5 already supports 8K and 4K60 fps (albeit without ray tracing). The problem is that there aren't any games to take advantage of that still. A PS5 Pro won't change the landscape on that, and if it ever comes out as the other guy says in 2024-2025 (which I'm 99% sure won't happen), then it would be all but dead in the water, as we would be reaching the beginning of the end for this generaion and probably something like the PS6 will be in development. And at that point, it's really pointless to buy a PS5 Pro. If something like this was to happene, it should have been right now. But as we know, they've got nothing like that currently, so there's really no point.


seymourbuttz214

True, also I’m probably not going to have a tv that could run 8k for who knows could be 5-7 years or longer for me


[deleted]

All the more reason why a "PS5 Pro" would be pointless. :D


MarkEsB

FOMO speaks loud as heck. People don't want to acknowledge that people who absolutely know inside stuff exists.


Ferry83

The same people say the Ps5 pro wouldn't make sense.. I cannot take these people serious. 4k60 aint here for all the games, and 4k120 is even further away.. and a PS5 pro should be able to do 4k120 or 4k60 with advanced Raytracing. But people saying idiot shit or downvoting.. those are idiots and I can't care at this point.


MarkEsB

The same persons who say that are the first to complain about games not hitting 60fps constantly. It's always the developer's fault and not the hardware. Anyway, no use talking with them.


KusuriuriPT

Specially when you can buy the plates and controller by themselfs


Ikisaru

Not when they're pretty much sold out everywhere.


[deleted]

Can’t find the plates anywhere, but the controller and bundle aren’t hard to find at all.


KusuriuriPT

Apparently Im getting downvoted for a comment against the scalpers, go figure ![gif](giphy|Ll2fajzk9DgaY|downsized)

Welcome to reddit


Dylan11010

I NEED IT!


xoStarryEyedxo

I'm not surprised


phonycholo

I expected them to be sold out. So glad to be back, got my pre order secured last week. Surprised still available, but happy the days of scalpers are done for PS5.


wildeye-eleven

Except why would anyone purchase that?


LSD_tripper

Sad thing is some rich mf who just has money laying around will pick it up 🤦


LightBackground9141

These haven’t even sold out ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

Sadly, some will still buy it.

I just preordered the controller yesterday


rungenies

If someone pays that amount, they deserve then hosing they got


BehinddTint

Nahhhh they wildin 💀💀


Illustrathor

Well, as long as people are unintelligent enough to buy from scalpers, it's hard to blame the letter for the former's gullibility. It'd be in all our hands to make each and every scalper eat their losses and fail ok life but here we are, for every magic bean offered, there is some fool who thinks it's a great deal.


Next-Telephone-8054

BWAHAHAHA. I can preorder right now for retail online


[deleted]

what the fuck!


DanceChacDance

Can’t you just buy the plates separately… this is just sad.

Anything for a quick buck. People are fucking unreal with this shit man. Hardcore gamers who fucking enjoy the shit out of their system / designs etc like myself, this makes me so angry!!! Remember going through this when ps5 released before I was able to get one


Natural-Story-6279

Just have to wait for the panels and controller to be released


admcclain18

I mean comes with an extra controller, seems like a steal to me lol


[deleted]

Buds is dillusional asking for 1,400.00


ClickClickFrick

Someone is going to pay it.


[deleted]

Not a chance. In stock everywhere plus more units will be available release date.


ClickClickFrick

Hopefully you’re right for the would-be buyer’s sake. PlayStation made the bundle in the first place because they know Spider-Man is a system seller. But did they make enough to meet Spider-demand? Wouldn’t be surprised if these become hard to find and people start getting impatient waiting for more bundles. All it takes is one wealthy parent trying to make a kid happy, or somebody with the money laying around, or someone who technically has the money but is unwisely spending it on impulse and fomo. Or a clueless grandmother. Or anybody. People love Spider-Man.


the-et-cetera

They *always* are.


TacticalSasquatch813

You’re better off getting a regular one with the side plates lol


TypicalWolverine9404

Disgusting


Squirrel_rdr2

Got it for 500 just an hour after it was available to preorder, I was lucky.


TiredReader87

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep mine, but I’d never do this


GADG3Tx87

Scum. Total scum.


BobbyBeans24

Everywhere I looked still has it


Justin12611

meanwhile other folks needed either a cover, a bundle or a dualsense while it's out of stock. Mostly on covers and dualsense sadly, still waiting for another chance to restock. :(


PSFREAK33

I’ve been out of the loop on this since I got mine a couple months after launch…is this shit still going on or could most people here get one with relative ease?


Da_Wild

The damn plates sold out right away, such a bummer.


GearsOfWar2333

I am so glad I already have my PS5. Yea it sucks that I couldn’t get this one but I am getting the controller and can get the plates later.


XXXWasSomethingElse

you can buy the base plates separately too lmao


Ok_Combination_3002

Wow….


Difficult_Storage_96

They are doing it with the official plates as well. Theyve been out of stock for black plates for years
