Last week, a few e-commerce platforms had as many as 519 PS5 consoles bundled with God of War; Ragnarok for Rs 59,999.

The PS5's competitor in this space is Microsoft's Xbox Series X, which is priced similarly, and is also similarly rare to find.

Both the next-generation consoles have faced supply issues owing to the global semiconductor shortage and, more than two-and-a-half years from launch, are extremely hard to come by. This, despite Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and President Jim Ryan suggesting earlier in the year that the PS5 shortage could be coming to an end. "Everyone who wants a PS5 should have a much easier time finding one at retailers globally, starting from this point forward," he had said.

Microsoft and Sony would, from time to time, release a handful of consoles on all retail channels and it's been my experience that all available units are sold out within seconds of the pre-bookings' starting.

So, if you hope to be one of the lucky few, you'd best be among the fastest fingers the moment pre-orders open.
