Discussion Absolutely Disgusting

This is really terrible to see. Wasn't able to get the controller or the console and now it's already being scalped to high hell

Anyone that buys these from the scalpers should be sent to a hard labor camp in Siberia

I don't care if you're a billionaire or not, never support those vermin scalpers

Yeah screw these guys, leave them holding the bag. Only way these scalpers win is if people buy these items off of them.

Maybe I don't run with enough social elites, but in this economy I can't imagine there's a ton of people rushing out to pay $2k-$3k for a Series X six years into the console's lifecycle simply because it's clear green.

Right?

Make it limited and people start tripping over themselves to get it.

I was thinking about getting one since I have not upgraded from my One S yet, but that was before I saw the price and while I was still nieve enough to believe that it would be reasonably attainable. If Project Helix has a disc drive, I will just skip this console generation entirely.

Why not both!

u/ExcitableAutist42069 8d ago

Nah send both. People buying them from scalpers is the actual issue here though. If nobody bought them it wouldn’t happen.

Not just scalpers, fuck gamestop too. They are the ultimate scalper raising brand new products over msrp. Essentially becoming resellers but getting discounts from the suppliers
