Is this sketchy?

A guy on Facebook is buying PS5 pros and selling them brand new.. He's buying them at staples and said I can go with him and buy it in the parking lot right after.. I'm wondering what's going on here.. I'm thinking hes using a stolen CC or something.. Is there any way that this might NOT be sketchy?

Worth the price?

Walmart Canada. Anyone think the price for these two can get better or should I just go for it?

Do you think we’ll have huge discounts on PS5 Pro between now and October ?

Only if I was reading the news, I would have know that PlayStation planned to raise their prices…

Now In this overpriced market, I want a console before GTA 6 release.

Id love to get a new ps5 pro for early 2026 market prices…. (And no, I don’t want a used from MTC or EB games)

Is it better to save up for the PS6? It will have backward compatibility with PS5 games.

I was quite staggered by the price of the PS5, and I began looking at much more affordable options; however, I don't know if it is worth the purchase when the next generation is right around the corner.

According to leaks, the PS6 will have a detachable disc drive and will be backwards compatible with PS5 and PS4 games. It will be, by my guess, about $1,149.

My question is, wouldn't it be better to save money for the superior console? 2027 is when huge titles like Fate of the Old Republic and Spider-Man 3 will be released, and the graphics will be above and beyond anything in the past.

Looking to Buy Used, Best Place to start looking?

As much as I want to buy a brand new PS5, financial balance along with the price of the console continuing to go higher, I'm looking to just buy one second hand at this point. I plan to post this in the main PlayStation Reddit as well, but I'm Canadian, so I wanted to start here.

To people who have bought used, where did you go: Bought one from a friend/family member, Best Buy/Walmart, 3rd party seller, or Facebook marketplace for straight cash. Let me know where the best place to look.

Best place for new PS5?

UPDATE: I went to Best Buy just now and got one!! YAY!!

I am buying a new PS5. I know I could get refurb or used (via MTC or Facebook), but I am buying a new one.

I am wondering... what is the best place to get a new PS5? Specifically interested in warranty options. If the console has any overheating issues in a year or so, or the controller starts to drift, which retailer has the best options for warranty? Or is the Sony warranty enough?
