Playstation announced at the beginning of the year on his blogthat the console’s availability problems will be eased during this year.
The promise seems to have come true. Consoles are available at Giganti, Verkkokauppa.com and Power online stores God of War Ragnarök – with the game as a joint package.
– The availability pipeline is better these days. Before consoles came about 4 times a year, when these were sold out in a couple of minutes. Nowadays, these come about once a month, Verkkokauppa’s purchasing manager Antti Aulavuori tells Iltalehte.
According to Gigant’s website, on March 28th they will also receive an additional batch of disc drive consoles without the game.
The purchase of the console is limited to one piece per customer.
Trocar operation still active
Trokars have rejoiced over the availability problems of the console. Iltalehti reported shortly after the console was announced, how e-commerce bots bought the shelves empty of consoles.
In the online marketplace service Tori.fi, several sellers are still trying to sell the console above retail prices, even though the console is also available in stores again.
The retail prices of the consoles have been up to 1600 euros at their worst, that’s about it reported by MTV news.
Had to wait several months for the console
Sony’s coveted game console Playstation 5 has suffered from severe availability problems since its release. In the early days of the release, those who craved the console had to wait several months at worst for a gaming device.
The background of the availability problems has been a global component shortage, which has also affected the automotive industry. Korona also made it difficult for the console to be available.
