This reminds me of trying to buy a graphics card last year.

I'm still amazed that I managed to get a EVGA 3080 in December 2020 (Australia).

I paid around $200 more than RRP at the time, I remember I got slandered online for doing it. To think that even now in 2022 you'd have to pay approx $500 more than what I paid and still struggle to find one is just ridiculous.

It even amazes me that people can't find PS5's. I've been around for a fair share of major console releases but this is mindblowing.

Sorry, off topic a bit.

or trying to buy a graphics card right now, look at the 'street price' for a regular 3070 vs what its MSRP is supposed to be.
