Official PS5 Astro Bot Controller Already Being Scalped For 2x Price After Stock Ran Out

[Megan]

Sony recently announced its adorable Astro Bot controller, and pre-orders for the DualSense controller went live yesterday. However, with the limited stock available, scalping issues were inevitable.

Scalpers who quickly secured pre-orders are now reselling the controllers at much higher prices than the original $79.99 MSRP. One scalper is even selling the Astro Bot controller for a staggering $198.99. This is more than twice the original price.

These scalper prices are insane BRUHH
And the worst part is, the controller doesn't even look that special to be worth this, only collectors will go nuts

I'm frustrated because I wanted to get the Astro Bot controller, but now it's impossible to find at a reasonable price. Scalpers ruin everything.

I caved and bought one from a scalper, but it doesn’t feel good knowing I paid more than the original price.
