Sony Japan's PS5 Pro Lottery Requires 60 Hours of Playtime
Original: Sony Japan’s PS5 Pro Lottery Requires 60 Hours of Playtime
Sony Japan is holding a lottery to buy the PS5 Pro, but entry requires accounts to have at least 60 hours of PlayStation 5 playtime. The rule is meant to keep consoles out of the hands of resellers and give genuine players a chance to purchase. The unusual condition is drawing attention and debate about how Sony is managing scarce console stock.
Why now: The unusual playtime requirement for buying a console is a novel anti-scalper measure that has caught people's attention.
