Sell PS5 granted that the PlayStation 2 is not as easy as it seems in a demanding and reckless market. The retailer SUP3R5, which has no official association with Sony, reported that all orders and reservations were canceled due to “credible threats”.
Through the official Twitter account of SUP3R5 – now deleted -, the company explained why it abandoned marketing PS5 with features of the well-remembered PlayStation 2, one of the best consoles in the world at the time.
“Last night, our team started receiving threats to their security. We take these threats seriously and, as a result, we do not move forward. All orders will be canceled with full refunds “says the statement.
Not long after, the retailer noticed that it was having problems processing orders and payments and it seems that potential buyers of PS5 with PS2 style also responded negatively to the retailer.
Starting with the SUP3R5 announcement about cancellation PS5 it is not clear whether the “credible threats” come from Sony, the official licensee for PS5 and all PlayStation-related consoles.
The number of consoles that were to go on sale (304) is inspired by the release date of PS2 (March 4).
PS5 “Retro Inspired” without an optical reader will cost $ 649, while the one with reader will cost $ 749. If you just want the controller, the company will release 500 units with a unit price of $ 99.
