I finally managed to get a PS5 Disc Edition! 🎉
What a frustrating one-month journey it has been.
As everyone in India knows, the PS5 has been out of stock almost everywhere. I called Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, and several local stores. Most of them either said "out of stock" and hung up immediately, or gave no useful information at all. It honestly felt like some stores were waiting for another price hike instead of selling whatever stock they had. Meanwhile, scalpers were listing consoles at ridiculous prices.
Since I'm from a remote area, I couldn't just visit stores in person, which made everything even more difficult.
But this journey also introduced me to some amazing people in this community. Huge thanks to u/Minimum_Addendum211, u/That_Leader8913, u/Working_Status358, and u/Then_Somewhere1566. You guys were genuinely helpful throughout.
A very special thanks to u/Working_Status358. Bro, you're an absolute legend. We had only known each other for a few hours, yet you ordered the console, received it many kilometers away, kept it safe, packed it extremely well, and couriered it to me. That level of trust and kindness is rare. I honestly can't thank you enough.
Now my PS5 Disc Edition is finally on its way, and I can't wait for it to be delivered.
I hope everyone who's genuinely trying to buy one gets their PS5 at the right price soon.
And to the scalpers... I hope you're left with unsold stock.
Happy gaming, everyone! 🎮❤️
