What happened
Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6's limited edition PS5 controllers went live, resulting in a chaotic experience for many fans. The high demand for the controllers led to issues such as long wait times, store errors, and scalpers taking advantage of the scarcity. Some retailers have already sold out of certain controller models, while others still have availability. To combat scalping, PlayStation has implemented a system limiting purchases to one controller per account.
