PS5 or XBox Series X

Nothing

Now there's another article of similar content saying end of this week. I am starting to think the authors are just guessing.

No worries though

You need to hire, or buy, a bot.

Why don't you answer my question first.

Maybe just like they didn't answer your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th ... questions !

You ask a lot of questions !

Ugh, I can't. I'm out - this thread is dead, no useful info anymore, some back and forth was fun. It's a just puerile heap now

I would never question your intellectual superiority, but just want to mention that the fongkong IQ "study" was posted by one of your fellow Xbox fanboys

Please wait while I scrape this egg off my face onto a nice piece of toast so I can have a good breakfast, thank you!

This thread reminds me of a typical day for SA rugby supporters(well probably any sport in any country)
Before a match, supporters from both sides ridicule each other with good banter. It is good fun because there is no winner and both sides have some huge big mouths among them.
Now after the match one side's supporters are going to be salty, even ashamed of their prior arrogance. Then rather than keeping quite and congratulating the other team, they would first make excuses for their teams poor decision or blame the ref, and then when the other team rightfully are basking in their glory, they will accuse the winners of being arrogant.
Almost like a Lotto winner that is not allowed to celebrate because he will offend the millions of losers

People who pointlessly continue bickering are going to get this thread locked.

I sense a testy mod or two circling.

Can someone explain to me why they are not using 1 per customer limits? I understand it's also not foolproof but seems a hell of a lot better than what is happening now

Talking about this bots thing, I read an article a couple of weeks ago. Where the retailers are in two minds about the consoles being snapped up by scalpers. The thinking being, well, we do want to look after the average buyer, BUT, does it really impact us if we sell to legitimate buyers.

My thinking - you have to be completely dumbass retailers to not realise that if the scalpers scalp the FOMO buyers, they will just have less money to spend on games and accessories that you still want to sell, to make some profit.

I do not know how to explain it.

Scalpers are using hundreds of different emails and using almost as many virtual cards to look like unique customers

There are just as many ways to overcome this as there are ways to implement.

Problem is, there is no financial incentive for the retailer to pursue or curb any of them. A sale is a sale is a sale, and implementing any measure to split bot from human is a cost that the retailer has to carry so they will do nothing.

So you have two options, increase supply or let government add a cost (Law) for the retailer to limit in order to prevent scalping else nothing will change.
