If you’re still looking to beat scalpers and find a PS5 or Xbox Series X in 2022, there’s a new way to secure your next-gen console.

We’re well over a year into the lifespan of the PS5 and Xbox Series X but neither console is readily available. Thanks to ongoing chip shortages, shipping issues, and (of course) console scalpers, getting your hands on a console still isn’t easy for many gamers.

While they’re likely not the main cause of the shortage, console resellers are still a real problem. With the use of bots, scalpers can completely destroy major restocks, leaving few consoles for ordinary buyers.

Lately, scalpers have been forced to drop their PS5 and Xbox prices as they struggled to sell consoles in 2022. But now that supply appears to be dropping again, the resellers are free to increase the prices once more.

However, there’s a new way to beat scalpers and finally find your PS5 or Xbox Series X.
