PS5, X Box Series X or X Box Series S

Welcome to the future! It was bad enough when bid sniping software was invented.

If you do manage to secure a PS5, if you can film the delivery driver and box opening as you may end up with something other than the PS5 in the box or the delivery driver just stops and then drives off without delivering.

This is the trouble with the home delivery explosion, half the drivers give zero fucks.  

When I lived in Asia, there was a launch of a new Asus phone which a lot of geeks were getting excited about on mobile forums.

I wanted one, and manged to be in Hong Kong a few days after the Asian launch and did buy one for the official price, but an American guy on the mobile forum was going crazy that he had to wait for the US launch, or pay "a ransom" to someone who had bought it in Asia at the list price and was selling to the US at a profit.

I politely pointed out to him that the concept of buying something and selling it on to someone prepared to pay more was a basic principle of capitalism, a foundation of the American dream. He wasn't happy with that though..

So at what point does it become unaccceptable?

There's nothing wrong with that at all, fella because you purchased it yourself legitimately, it just becomes a problem where releases of new items- that are supposed to be limited to one per customer, get swallowed up by profiteers using bots. The fact that they buy multiples of an item that should be limited to just one, goes entirely against the sale parameters laid out by the vendor.

 That's something worth swearing at.

Had a bit of a result today (first time in ages). My son decided he didn't need his PC anymore (The one I gave him that was my super PC I spent thousands on building in 2017) so I gave him my spare Lenovo M93 Tiny PC so he at least had something to do college work on and browse the net and collected my old super rig. The little fucker has totally abused it. It was covered in a thick layer of dust and I had to take it apart and use my compressor at my old house to blow out a ton of dust. I've worked on a few computers in my time and even ones that were old work computers that were ten years old never had as much dust and debris in them as this did. Got it home and did a fresh install. Up and running lovely now. When I built it, it was a very high spec for home use. Now it is just adequate but it would still cost me a ton of cash to build something similar even though it's 2.5 years old now. Will play a bit of Doom later.

LIAN LI Aluminimum case
i7 6700 K
GTX 1050 Ti Graphics card
Asus Z170 PRO GAMING motherboard
16 GB DDR4
240 GB SSD
1 TB Hard Drive

Will look at a better Graphics card at some point and maybe another 16 GB of memory.

I was looking something up and I actually built that PC early 2016 not mid 2017. I have a few spare 120 GB SSD drives I got new when they were pennies. But I still have over 70% space on my 1 TB drive and the 240 SSD only has the operating system on it so there is still about 80% free space on that. Been up playing Doom. Off to bed.
