Has Sony finally found a solution to end the rule of scalpers? His new idea isn’t spectacular, but it could at least help solve the problem. Indeed, in Japan, the manufacturer will put a small label on the box that will tear when opened. In this way, resellers can no longer claim that the console is new when it is not.
Component Shortages and Scalpers : Here are the top two reasons why it is still very difficult to get a PS5 Still for sale a year and a half after its release. If there’s not much players can do about it before the premiere, they don’t hesitate to vent their anger at the latter† We understand them. If lots are regularly available on eBay, they are usually sold out exorbitant prices.
Sony has also been trying to find a solution to the problem for several months. A first project consisted of: release a slightly different PS5, which should boost stocks somewhat. Today the manufacturer presents its new idea: a label† Admittedly, it doesn’t seem like that much is being said, but this simple label could very well prevent scalpers from scamming players lack of patience.
Sony bets on a label to stop scalpers
This way the label is placed exactly over the opening of the box, so that when the box is opened, she tears herself apart. In other words, it’s impossible for the scalper to claim that the PS5 he’s selling is new, and therefore pass it on to price when it isn’t. It will also be difficult to remove the label as this may damage the box and cause reveal despite all that it’s already opened.

So a minimalistic solution, but one that could prove its worth. This alone will of course not be enough to eradicate the problem, but it is a first low in the right direction† Coupled with the government’s efforts to regulate scalpers, like in UKthe latter may soon have many gets stuck in the wheels†
