The first two years of the PS5’s life were nightmarish for anyone who didn’t happen to get immediately lucky at launch. Sony’s new-gen consoles were like gold dust, and scalpers made sure that we knew it.
Although the global semiconductor shortage played a huge role in the shortage ofPS5consoles,scalpers were also a big part of the problem. Even if you had stock alerts on at every major retailer and joined the online queues immediately, there were no guarantees that someone hadn’t already slid in ahead of you and bought out the entire stock. Many gamers were forced to go either months without getting a console at all, or they could succumb to the scalpers and pay a heavily inflated price. Not fun.
Later this year, PS5 owners can get ready to dive intoMarvel’s Spider-Man2- take a look at the trailer below.

At the time of writing, it appears that the console bundle is back in stock in multiple places online now, but the console covers are still highly sought after - although they were supposed to cost around £55, looking on eBay, many are selling them for well over £100, instead. Ouch.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is set to release on 20 October.
