When yous meet a PS5 restock online you go excited, but this latest PS5 bundle has us a bit furious. Over on Newegg, InBulk Electronics (which has 888 ratings, and a 90% positive rating) is selling a PS5 bundle for $400 more than the price of the actual parts.

Aye, correct now, y'all tin can get a PS5 if you're willing to foot a crazy $i,059 beak. And it's actually gone in and out of stock during the time it took to write this story, so someone's actually buying information technology. But yous should not buy this, dear reader.

• PS5 restock — all the latest restock information right now
• Xbox Series X restock - stock tracking at all major retailers

So, for the math breakdown: this PS5 parcel has the following components:

• The PS5 ($499)
• An extra DualSense Wireless Controller ($69)
• Spider-Human: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition ($69)

Oh, and if yous look closely you'll meet a small "Microfiber Cleaning Cloth" at the bottom right corner. No word if that cloth can clean the debt off a credit card or wipe the sadness off a broken heart, merely nosotros doubt it'due south more than a garden variety piece of fabric.

We know people really want a new PS5, only spending the price of a digital-only PS5 equally a premium to get ane is ridiculous.

Tertiary-party sellers are allowed to sell what they want at the prices they want, but this is really the signal where we crook our heads to the side and ask "shouldn't someone step in and stop this?" We've reached out to Newegg for comment.
