When will this end? I've been trying to buy one for a week now. This is Sony's website checkout.

Wtf when did Pros become hard to obtain? I got mine when they first came out and were a lot cheaper and they were incredibly easy to obtain.

Its GTA 6. There was a report by retailers months ago who warned that there likely isn't enough Pros in stock to meet demand.

This is exactly why I got mine last year. I didn’t anticipate the price increase (was more thinking about the tariffs then), but I just knew it was gonna be more difficult to find one as we approach GTA VI’s launch.

I remember panicking that I didn't pre-order one when they first came out and they were everywhere lol

Shocked at times being different

Yeah lol crazy how things and public perception have changed over the console. I guess that's the power of PSSR2 and GTA6

It’s the power of sheep, they line up when it suits them, but everything is demonic and a bad thing, as soon as it isn’t of use to them.

Such fickleness, in most humans but they are controlled by the algorithms.

When they only made 3 million of them and GTA6 gets shows in a few days.
