I finally got a PS5 and the difficulty level in achieving this in Japan was…kinda ridiculous! That being said, if you know what the steps are and you can clear all the conditions required, the system in place actually makes it quite easy (in theory) to walk in and buy one.
Do you want a PS5 but can’t buy one? What makes it difficult for you? Stock availability? Price? Location? Comment below!
