The concept of the PS2 themed PS5 had done the fans went crazy and SUP3R5 had seen fit to make it happen, putting Sony custom consoles on sale at a price of $ 649.
The initiative resulted in an immediate sold-out, also due to the well-known scarce availability of PlayStation 5 in recent weeks. Users were credited with their spending and immediately began to appear the first auctions on eBay at higher prices to say the least.
In this inevitable chaos, the employees of SUP3R5, however, began to receive threats deemed credible and this forced the company to cancel all pre-orders and cancel the sale, promising quick refunds to users who have already paid.
"We wanted to create a fun way to celebrate our nostalgia, but apparently there are people determined to interfere, "the company wrote in a statement. "If it is possible to do it safely, we will try again."
Unfortunately it is not known whether the events took place as told by SUP3R5 or if the whole affair was simply orchestrated as an attempt to make advertising.
