People can just order using another name and mobile, address too..

Just use their mom's mobile, dad's mobile, parents address. No stopping scalpers actually

They can always refuse to sell them if billing address is different from shipping address, of course there is no way to stop them if they use their parents card or something, but I kind of pity these people, go thru all that trouble just to make $200-$300, these people must be really very desperate. :s22:

I know it would be more effort on the part of Sony, particularly with the logistics and distribution, but it would be nice if they could find a way to give preorder priority to those who have some PSN history. These are genuine customers and PS users, after all.

Can't see it happening, unfortunately, as it ultimately doesn't matter to Sony if the unit falls into the hands of a gamer or a scalper.

taking that option means you are paying a premium on the PS 5 in fact. Considering the fact that you could purchase the same TV at a discounted price from places like audio house, gain city etc.

Scaper’s units also ended up at gamers eventually ... I don’t think it affect unit market penetration and utilisation rate ?

I received this WhatsApp message

Thank you for pre-ordering the PS5. You will receive your PS5 at end of Feb 2021 onwards. We will update you again on the exact delivery date when we receive the stocks to be dispatched to you. Have a great weekend.

It says onwards eh. I guess next batch? I ordered at 3.45am

One of my friend told me they he ordered 6 diff orders, using different names, mobile numbers and addresses, all his orders received the WhatsApp.
Yea I think he's gonna scalp them. But yea, not my taiji haha..


So simple to pass this type of checks by sony. Everyone have different friends, family members with different addresses. Just get them to purchase or purchase on their behalf.

Sony can't stop these loopholes.

They should just give these extra stocks to those who already preordered in the stores instead of opening up to online orders, not sure why they do this.

Yes, that's why Sony ultimately doesn't care (or need to care). But I wish they would, to support their customers and genuine gamers who have been on their platform through multiple generations.

sony cares, but its difficult to fight the scalpers. Instead they are focusing on ramping up production as soon as possible , and removing repeat address orders. The most effective way to beat scalpers is to make sure they flood the market with readily available units.
