A few days ago we told you that the company SUP3R5 had announced that it would put on sale a black PlayStation 5, which paid tribute to PS2, and that they would go on sale for $ 649. Well, after different problems with orders, users began to complain and the company decided to stop reservations. Later, he suffered threats and canceled reservations.

After going on sale on January 8 in the United States, the consoles were sold out in 20 minutes. There is a lot of demand for PS5 and they had about 300 for sale, so no surprise.

The problem is that the purchase process it was not satisfactory for most buyers, and some were even charged without receiving a confirmation that they had indeed purchased the console. The company tweeted that it was embarrassed, ashamed for how the system had worked, but we can not attach the tweet because the account has been deleted.

After the problems caused, the company commented that I would return the money to people who really couldn’t get one, and who would do better in the international release (postponed to the end of the month). But in a new turn of events, the company decided to cancel all reservations and return the money, because they received “credible threats to your safety. “

If we think it is safe to try again, we will do it“commented the company.

Some users had hinted that the company was conducting fraudulent tactics, but there is no evidence that this is so. Either way, it seems that having a black PS5 is not going to be so “simple”.
