Orders for PS2-Inspired Black PS5s Cancelled After Seller Receives ‘Credible’ Threats



SUP3R5, the third-party company behind the PlayStation 2-inspired black PlayStation 5 consoles, has cancelled all orders after preorders went exactly how we expected them to.
In a series of tweets from its now-deleted official account, SUP3R5 revealed that it was ?embarrassed? by its North American launch as its website struggled to cope with demand. The company only had 300 units available but demand far surpassed that number. As expected, scalpers also made their way to the website. Video Games Chronicle found that as soon as some of the orders were confirmed, listings for the console appeared on eBay for thousands of dollars.
