Pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) Pro and the special 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 Pro started on Thursday, and scammers have already moved in to spoil it for everyone.

In less than a few hours, listings for the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Edition have popped up on eBay for thousands more than the retail price. These offers range from a (modest) 173% markup to a whopping 952% markup, depending on the offer.

It’s worth noting that this is before US pre-orders are live, as these are based on UK pre-orders that opened earlier today. There’s a good chance things will only get worse when the US market opens for sales.

The PS5 Pro officially launches on November 7, 2024. Should you be able to get the standard PS5 Pro console from a traditional retailer, it will set you back $699/£699.99/€799.99 before taxes. If you’re looking to snag a limited edition 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro, that’ll set you back well over $900, based on the UK price of £959.00.
