  @PlayStation I’ve bought some well reviewed games for PS5 that turned out to be spectacularly ****. I had the benefit of flogging them on eBay to get most of my money back. This is a terrible move by Sony

  Sooo basically there's significantly more slow people in the Playstation community than there are in the XBOX community 🤔 The physical box is still on sale at retail price and yet people still pre-ordering off ebay even today at outrageous prices. Come on people 💀 #TheGTA6Affect

  @DigitalbathRx @IntroSpecktive It wasn’t locked down by design. If you didn’t like PSN prices, you could go to your local Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, etc and see if they were better. If not, used on eBay. They are doing away with all that. They also can shut down stores whenever they feel like (like with PS3), slap DRM on their digital purchases that require check ins, and revoke digital licenses at will. I’m not describing a console. I’m describing a literal monopoly.

  @Southside_Gunn @BLKGLFNKS Once people start consuming more older games, the inventory disappears as now many wont sell them back into the game reseller economy. Gamestop really is ******* toast this time. Eventually people will just let games go on ebay. It will be too slow to keep Gamestop open as compny

  I can’t wait for Amazon and eBay to go full AI. And I especially don’t want Amazon showing me a bunch of other stuff I did not search for. That is one of the biggest problems with online shopping now. You search for something specific, and the platform starts mixing in sponsored products, loosely related products, “customers also bought,” promoted brands, and random junk that only sort of matches the words you typed. That is not intelligence. That is advertising pressure disguised as search. AI should fix that. If I search for a specific part, tool, cable, filter, book, or replacement item, I want the system to understand the intent and narrow the results, not expand them into a shopping carnival. If I ask for a 14-inch shelf bracket, don’t show me 12-inch brackets, floating shelves, decorative hooks, or something that paid to be near the result. A real AI shopping assistant should be able to say: “This is the exact item you searched for.” “These are compatible alternatives.” “These are not compatible, even though the listing looks similar.” “This seller is risky.” “This one is overpriced.” “You bought something similar before.” That is where AI could actually improve shopping. Not by showing more products, but by showing fewer, better, more relevant products. The problem with Amazon and eBay is not lack of inventory. It is too much noise between the user and the thing they actually need. AI should become the filter that protects the buyer from the platform’s own clutter. Maybe Elon should start here on X - and use Grok to drive it... of course -... call it the X-Store.

  @birdwithuhword @anthonydangelo That's literally irrelevant to this issue. The same thing applies to almost every game. Pick your favorite PS game and compare the digital vs ebay/goodwill prices. The disc version will almost certainly be cheaper.

  @Southside_Gunn I think the problem is the time n effort to sell on eBay like your right but it would definitely take some time

  Right now, I have the choice to buy $60+ digital games or physical discs at walmart, resold on ebay, or discounted on amazon for $25 or less. Not to mention I’ll actually own the game and have the ability to share it with my gf or resell. This is vanishing.. ******* terrible

  @HWYMG @TheTrueSealYT @PlayStation I know, I saw it on Steam too, however, on PC steam is not the only option. There are Epic Games, GOOG, MS store etc... So there is no monopoly, with Playstation and physical copies, there was no monopoly because retail sellers could offer the game cheaper. Killing physical copy is puting Sony in monopolly state where they are the only one who can sell the game to the end user. And people are losing rights to lend or resell the game. For example wehn I got PS5 few years ago, I wish to play all those exclusive games, and I was getting them cheap on ebay, and after I finish the game if I did not like the game so much then I resell it, and use that money to buy the next one. And for example Nioh 3 is the perfect example. Few month old game that I will play it, but I did not wish to pay premium to play it first, after few months price will go down, and on ebay you can get a copy even cheaper. Few more months and you could get it even cheaper.

  @SWATZ911 @eBay I’m an optimist so I think it’s probably genuine USPS issues. But I’m also a data guy so the data supports increased scamming.

  @Radios4Freedom @TruckerDanUSA Sometimes the seller knows how to ship at a reasonable cost. Often, they don't. It's their first time selling something so big, they don't have the right size box, and so on. It's even irritating for me to ship cases, but I do it properly. That cuts into what I make dramatically, though, unless I magically have the original box. I've got to pack a vintage one soon that's going to be a nightmare, and I'll have to use the box the Fractal came in, to do it. It's too wide, which will affect cost, so I'll have to cut it down. That one's going to be a major annoyance. It's wrong in all the wrong dimensions, and weighs a ton. I missed one I really wanted on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't have worked for my new build, but I wanted it just to have it. Now I've got to buy that DAC, though, so no more fun cases to have. That's going to be an expensive purchase.

  @Fischknochen I recc 2nd hand (kleinanzeigen, ebay) cause a lot of people resell a stick they only used like, one time Otherwise from retailers or their partner stores when marked down… you could build a stick but youre mostly likely sourcing parts from outside the eu, new law makes that 💸

  @eBay Ok guys and gals. I get it, you sell on ebay and you dont have issues. Its about the irritation for stuff that should just be easy. If you dont mind it, then great, have fun. Ive got 1450 sales so i am aware of the process, its my opinion that it sucks for what we pay in fees.

  @LeanPicachu @woggerman1974 Xbox had this in the works for Xbox One when the internet melted down on their e3 unvailing. Every sale was going to have a small percentage fee that went to the platform (xbox) and the publisher of the game. They get a cut of every transaction. Like how Ebay does.

  @_TheImpureKing_ I guess I am the problem. I bought a Ps5 pro preownes with controllers, disc drive and about 10 games mixed ps4 and 5. I already had a library of physical ps4 games. And I have bought a bunch of games on a local version of Ebay.

  @SpawnPoiint Digital. I do not care for clutter & I do not care for eBay flippers or gamestop glorified rental programs. the used market cannibalizes sales. 15% of sales are physical, so since, at time of writing, 71% of your votes are physical enjoyers, that means most of them are buying used instead of buying the game. When it is possible, there is nothing wrong with it. Since it will no longer be possible, maybe price hikes will go away. Maybe you will not need plus just to play online. Maybe the price of plus will go down. You never know. Actually, you do, because investors will not accept something like that. But maybe the hikes will stop. Imagine if your numbers up there are accurate right now. That means that despite new games sales being only 15% of all sales, 71% of people prefer physical. That means the vast majority of physical players never buy from the source & are constantly re-buying the same discs at least 4 to 5 times over - and they wonder why gaming is getting so expensive per-game! Sony has announced that their platform will no longer have the income cannibalized by gamestop or eBay flippers. 1 key = 1 account. As God intended.

  Tech2000 💿 (Blake Powers) (@ucegotthejuce) reported 56 minutes ago

  @TechnicallyTee The problem is this: You buy a game physically and you don’t like it, you can sell it. You buy a game physically that your friend doesn’t have, you can take it to their house and put it in his console to play. You buy a game digitally you can’t do either of those. You can buy a 3 year old game on ebay or at GameStop for $20 or less, without a disc version this gives the digital storefront the opportunity to keep the price as high as they want it to be for as long as they want it to be because you literally have no choice but to buy it there. When a game inevitably gets delisted from digital storefronts and there’s no discs, how will that game ever be played again once the internet on your PS6 quits working in 20 years? (Example: If Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions never had a disc and only was digital and got delisted on PS3, how would anyone ever play it again?) NOT TO MENTION, the people that DO already have a bunch of PS4 and PS5 discs would have to completely re-purchase their entire library for those two consoles digitally if the PS6 ships without a disc drive.

  @J0hnADouglas The problem is that you have too many Gen Xers & Early Millennials with arrested development and disposable income. Add in idiots who think they can make a career out of flipping crap on eBay and you have an explanation as to why an original copy of Zelda cost $500.

  @GeorgeBruno Big fan, honestly. I think I tried meeting someone who didn’t show just once. Most people show up at my house, no worries. I live in a small town, it helps. Fee free transactions are great. It usually means I come down on the price which is sub optimal, but it’s good for the buyer. And if it makes selling the item easier, and I’m still netting a similar amount as eBay (fees), then it really don’t matter. I’ve had only one bad experience with shipping through FB. It sounds like you’re more face to face. Overall, it’s a solid marketplace to help get eyes on your stuff. I’ve been pleased as a seller and according to reviews, I’ve had satisfied customers.
