There’s a new PS5 Scam…

Channel: Pleasant Green

Guy posted on Facebook group saying that his kid got hit by a car and he couldn’t stand to look at his kids PS5 anymore

They ask to pay shipping and then give a cash app account

Turns out there are tons of these same posts all over Facebook

The guy messaged a bunch of them and they all say the exact same thing

He asked about a few games and when he said Yahoo Boys he’d get blocked or if he said he was located in Nigeria he’d get blocked

People in the states use their cash app to get the “Shipping fee” then they buy bitcoin with it and send it to the people in Nigeria

To get around facebooks being blocked they buy stolen ids for id verification

Thankfully this guy was able to become a money mule himself and

Jim Ryan was Right - The Series S is Holding Back PS5

Former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan once famously said that “reduced spec” consoles like Xbox Series S aren’t a good idea, and if ongoing optimization headaches are any indication, he was right. Come to think of it, Ryan — who was often criticized for his takes — was right about a lot of things, including Xbox Game Pass, but I digress.

Microsoft mandates simultaneous game launches on both the Series X and its inferior counterpart, much to the chagrin of some developers, who have openly talked about the nuisance this creates. Devs have come under fire from hardcore fans and even journalists for their takes, but I’ll take the opinion of an actual game dev over Twitter experts and blog writers.

Over the weekend, former Naughty Dog and Respawn dev Del Walker was the latest to draw some ire after he tweeted that he wishes the Xbox Series S didn’t exist. Walker said that the console itself is a great piece of hardware, but having to optimize current-gen games for it is pretty “annoying.” Walker also reckons that more and more games will end up skipping Xbox platforms for this reason.

Walker isn’t wrong. Xbox consoles struggle to sell, so devs are faced with the decision of skipping the platform altogether or waste their resources optimizing for a platform they’ll see negligible sales on. Developers who aren’t blessed with massive bank accounts are understandably going to choose the former.

State of Play Not a Showcase

Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb has claimed that a PlayStation State of Play will likely be released by the end of September.

The rumor came during today’s Game Mess Mornings, when after speaking on the PlayStation 5 Pro, Grubb said, “There is probably going to be a PlayStation State of Play by the end of September.” Unfortunately, Grubb didn’t dive into what could be announced during the event. Still, both he and his co-host guest theorized that it could be something akin to a PS5 Pro announcement followed by a miniature games showcase on the new console.

The PlayStation 5 Pro was reportedly heavily talked about at Gamescom this year, with wccftech and the Italian website Multiplayer both hearing from developers that the console is on its way.

lol looks like a partnership with Adidas. 😂 I’ll wait for a disc drive ver.

[Doodoovoodoo]

Kinda disappointed it doesn't have a new design

[foty]

Those PS5 scams have been going on since the console came out.

[josiahsuarez]

Back in my day, games were about 4MB but dammit they were HONEST 😢😢

[Preston_Rowe]

You got me messed up if Sony think I'd even consider dropping over $600-$700 for a gaming console

[SonOfAsgard-kukd]

People need to realize that showcases are EXPENSIVE and STATE OF PLAYS are way CHEAPER. Sony probably realize they should just do a State of Play and save them millions.

I never understood the battery life deal. I mean 8 hours or so is plenty. Whz would I need 24 hours of battery life? Most people have multiple controllers anyway so if one dies you just switch to another one and have the first one charge. No big deal

[Uratz]

Shipping labels can be sent to your customers and you can arrange pick up of the product without sending money .

[ToastyJason]

I had to order an Extra Big Backpack to haul my PS5 around. A PS5 Pro Slim would be much obliged

[robertbaumann]

The scam is not limited to consoles. It's on market place in other categories too.

[chucky]

I bought the Disc version and thinking of just getting the digital one and movig it over

[syrusstrampher]

My 24L snowboarding back pack fits the 1st gen ps5 disk drive model perfectly. can fit my headset with DAC, 4 disk games and 1 controller. Perfect for a carry on situation

[Modernperformance]

The scams aren’t new, “send me money” scams have been going on for yearsss, obviously always something different but NEVER send money without doing your part and look into it!

[kirion]

I can’t believe people are falling for this the Facebook scam in 2024 😂😂

[XVNRX]

Update - the design has a 3 black tiles center
Not white

[SudheerKumar-zhii]

Imagine if the PS5 slim's disc drive is incompatible with the pro and you have to buy a seperate disc drive?!?! With Sony, you never know 🤷

[robbay]

PS 5 Pro is more like PS 5 Adidas edition

[Zeustitan]

If it doesn't have a disc drive they are literally cutting their nose off to spite their face. The only people who would pay the extra money for a pro are the same people who buy physical.

Im 40+ and dont game as much as I did before becoming a parent. I've been holding out on getting a PS5 for a disc Pro version, but there's a few games I really want to play right now. Even thought about buying a used disc 5 at a pawn shop or something. Then giving it to my kid who's just really getting in to gaming. Much like I did with my 4 when I went 4 pro. Any advice? thanks

[TopHatCat]

I spend as little time as possible on social media, mostly because for me it's too anxiety inducing, it raises my stress levels way too high, plus my paranoia about scams after I became a victim 10 years back.

I bought the PS5 disk edition roughly a year after launch, mainly as a replacement for my launch PS4. Since I've already got a powerful PC I don't think I'll get the PS5 Pro until after the reviews come in and maybe sell my old PS5 at a loss.
