@Flipkart @flipkartsupport Scam Alert!
I ordered a PS5 from Flipkart, you delivered me a returned product. The bill of the original customer was also in the box. Also, the PS5’s disc drive is not working.
Your customer support is rejecting return, what kind of scam is this? pic.twitter.com/MNOou5gL7D— Ankur Kesharwani (@iamankur_k) April 8, 2023
Some have not received their orders yet, while others have received a used next-gen console.
There are a few negative reviews on the product page as well, but they pale in comparison to the overall 4.5 stars rating based on 776 ratings and reviews.
PlayStation 5 sale on Amazon
Currently, Amazon is also running a sale for the PlayStation 5 Standard Edition, which is available for Rs. 47,491. The Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is also available for Rs. 37,991.
PS5’s availability in India
The availability of Sony’s next-gen console in India is relatively new, as a lot of people have struggled to get their hands on the PS5 ever since its release back in 2020.
The PS5 shortage was a global issue, but it naturally eased up in North America and Europe.
There were sales hosted once every few months in India, but they lasted for seconds due to the demand, limited stock and scrapers.
