The PlayStation 5 was briefly available at Coolblue this morning. The result was that the webshop went down.
Officially launched in November 2020 in the Netherlands, but still terribly difficult to obtain. We are of course talking about the PlayStation 5. Stores in the Netherlands regularly receive a new stock of copies to sell. Like a bunch of hungry vultures, potential buyers are jumping on those stocks. As a result, the consoles are sold out in no time.
PlayStation 5 for sale via Coolblue
The PlayStation 5 was briefly for sale this morning via Coolblue. Bots via Telegram, among others, informed the thousands of members. Hectic everywhere, because the website of the well-known Dutch online store was difficult to reach. For a moment, the webshop was even completely out of the air due to the massive internet traffic.
Whoever was able to get hold of a PS5 was very lucky. The PlayStation 5 sold out in minutes. Another disappointment for many, who have probably been trying to get one for months. Various copies are offered for sale on Marktplaats at extortionate prices. Between 750 and 950 euros are approximately usual prices for a new PlayStation 5 on Marktplaats. A significant additional cost compared to the suggested retail price of the console of Sony†
