Yesterday, scalper group Carnage claimed they?d been able to successfully purchase over 2,000 PS5 consoles from a PS5 restock at GAME. In a statement to Eurogamer, the retailer denies this will be the case, saying they have ?strong measures in place? to stop the group from receiving all of those consoles.
The scalper group had claimed they?d been able to complete checkout on more than 2,000 consoles and that it ?just keeps getting easier every time.? Members of the group took to Twitter to share screenshots of their e-mail inboxes with confirmations for multiple console purchases. However, GAME states that those screenshots merely show console pre-orders; they?re e-mail confirmations but payments have not yet been taken. The statement reads:

PB = PB || {}; PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = null;
if (typeof readAdmiralCookie === "function"){
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();
}
