sell the PS5 tuned as PlayStation 2 is not as easy as it seems in a demanding market and without contemplations. The retail firm SUP3R5, which has no official partnership with Sony, reported that all orders and reservations were canceled due to “credible threats”.
Through the official SUP3R5 Twitter account – now deleted – the company explained why it abandoned the marketing of the PS5 with features of the remembered PlayStation 2, one of the best consoles in the world at the time.
“Last night, our team started receiving threats to your security. We take these threats seriously and, as a result, we don’t move forward. All orders must be canceled with full refunds.”, Says the statement.
This didn’t happen long after the retailer noticed how they were having trouble processing orders and payments, and it seems that potential buyers of the PS5 with the style of PS2 have also been responding negatively to the retailer.
From the announcement of SUP3R5 on the cancellation of the PS5 it’s not clear if the “credible threats” come from Sony, the official licensee of the PS5 and all PlayStation-related consoles.
The number of consoles that were going to go on sale (304) is inspired by the release date of the PS2 (March 4).
the PS5 “Retro Inspired” without an optical reader will cost $ 649, while the one that does carry a reader will cost $ 749. If you just want the command, the company will enable 500 units with a unit price of $ 99.
PS5 | Store error
Is this an Ultimate version? No, on the contrary, the PlayStation Store has a bug that charges for games PS4 i PS5 up to $ 10,000. The community was quick to report these cases on social media.
The error that has been affecting the game catalog of the PS4 i PS5 happens with both regular titles and those that come included as “free” on the PlayStation Plus subscription service.
It is unclear how common the error is and whether it is limited to some specific form of PlayStation Store. So far, reports have shown that the problem manifests itself in the version of PS4 PlayStation Store, but it is very possible that the same error is possible in the PlayStation version PS5 from the digital store.
