Since the launch of Sony's most advanced gaming console, the PlayStation 5, fans have been going crazy trying to get a unit since pre-order began. While other people are lucky enough to get hold of a unit with a pre-order, others are still hustling through the Black Friday and trying their luck to have a PS5 amid a highly limited availability.

As GameStop earlier announced it would have available limited consoles on November 27 in time for Black Friday. With super limited stocks of just about two PS5s consoles and two Xbox Series X units, gamers tried their luck on finding one - even when it means camping out of the store.
