Hardware A banned ps5 :(

Did you try to contact them !!

Did you ever manage to upgrade Miles Morales? I bought the PS4 version for my banned console (also bought it banned already) but no option to download the PS5 version...

As far as I know for PS5, Only gamesharing and stolen systems are banned by Sony. The system is definitely one of those.

if you can still play offline with it just play first maybe in the future there will be a way to unban it.

To most people, they are expensive. And calling people poor is just not cool, dude. Just because you can afford a $500 console doesn't mean everyone is able to buy one. Stop acting like a pompous brat.

Wages as well as pricing varies wildly in different parts of the world. Some places the cost of a PS5 might be an entire month's wage, enough to pay for housing, rent etc. and eat well every day. That doesn't mean they're poor, the metric is different. Electronics are comparatively cheaper for someone living in a richer country like yourself so don't assume that it's the same everywhere. $1500 is a lot of money.

Month's wage? Here, it's 4 month's wage...

People here in Brazil sued Sony and they were forced to unban the consoles. The jury said that Sony has to unban the PS5 because such an expensive console rendered almost useless is against consumer's rights (And I believe if people do the same to Nintendo, they would have to unban their Switch too).

Good to hear although I cannot see this happening in the usa anytime soon.

*** As for original question

1. Try to deny payment through paypal, whatever
2. You should be able to sell it for half what you paid while be up front about the ban.

It's where I would go with it. If you paid online, with PayPal, open a case with them. Or how ever you paid. unless you paid cash.

If you paid with credit card, contact the bank of the card. If you paid with PayPal, open a case with them. Both will investigate, you might need to ship it back where you got it from but, normally you are protected against fraud, and this would be a clear case of it. If you got it on ebay, open a case with ebay, they will pull the money right of of the sellers account (ebay is pro buyers but treat sellers like crap when it comes to this)

Tell them what happened, you got a PS5 (that is impossible to find these days), so you paid extra just to get one, and found out after you got it that it's banned and you can't use it..

Just because you paid 1500 is the punishment justified. ROFL

I paid 1450 for a new 3090 Strix oc
