December is finally here and parents around the world are trying to buy PS5s and Xbox Series systems for their children this Christmas. I want to wish you all the best for the upcoming holiday season, unless you’re a scalper, in which case, I hope you die a horrible and agonizing death.
The biggest stories in November/December include an expensive piece of paper, the slur in the Monster Hunter movie, the Doomguy’s dickish move, the arrival of Kratos in Fortnite, and scalpers nabbing even more PS5 systems.
People Are Buying Pieces Of Paper For Over £700 On eBay To Help Parents Afford PS5 Scalper Prices
The price of PS5 and Xbox Series S/X units has soared on the second-hand market, due to the limited number of systems available at launch. This has led to parents around the world spending incredible amounts of money on systems. An eBay user put up a piece of paper for auction, as they’re looking for help affording a PS5 unit to give to their child this Christmas. The bids reached at least £714 before it was taken down.
Monster Hunter Movie Premieres With Offensive Slur
The Monster Hunter movie had a disastrous start in China, due to an offensive slur about the Chinese people during the early scenes of the film. This led to the film being review bombed in China and some cinemas refusing to show the movie. China is the second-biggest movie market in the world and Monster Hunter is the kind of film that would do well there if it weren’t for one thoughtless moment.
Doomguy Is Coming To Fall Guys, And His Arm Looks Like… A Different Body Part
Notable dead game Fall Guys has announced more content in the run-up to its third season. The official Fall Guys Twitter page has confirmed that a Doomguy skin is on the way. It did this with a post that showed a silhouette of the character. The only problem with this announcement is that the Doomguy’s arm looked like a rude part of the male anatomy.
God of War’s Kratos Is Coming To Fortnite
Fortnite Season 5 is here and it was preempted by a number of leaks, including the arrival of the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. The most recent leak claimed that Kratos from God of War was coming to the game, which was later confirmed by Epic Games. There is also the Oathbreaker Set, which comes with the Guardian Shield Glider, the Mimir Back Bling, and the Leviathan Axe Pickaxe.
The most surprising aspect of Kratos’ arrival in Fortnite is that he isn’t exclusive to PlayStation platforms. This means that Nintendo Switch and Xbox players can play as Kratos in Fortnite.
Scalper Group That Bought 3500 PS5s Claims To Have Secured 2000 More Consoles
Scalpers have profited from the chaos surrounding the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X, as they use bots to buy up stock as soon as it becomes available so that they can throw it onto second-hand sites for ridiculous prices. A prominent scalper group that claims to have nabbed 3500 PS5s is now saying that it has purchased another 2000 systems over the past week.
