For what it’s worth, I like to consider myself a pretty lucky person. I get to write about all sorts of video game news, ranging from GameStop’s absurd “Trade Anything” day to Walton Goggins deciding to crash the Fallout Fan Celebration just because. I also have two wonderful dogs.
Like I said, pretty lucky. Then, I go on Reddit and find out that someone managed to get two PlayStation 5 consoles in the same box from Amazon, and I’m reminded that perhaps I’m not all that lucky because that’s some serious sorcery.
Now you may be wondering how that’s possible, but according to the OP, instead of opening the carton that had two PS5s and separating the contents, Amazon stuck a label on it and shipped it off, meaning one lucky person ended up with two 1TB PS5 slim consoles.
Xbox 360 Didn’t Outsell The PS3, But It Was Definitely The Most Influential Console
It’s been twenty long years since the Xbox 360 first came into our lives.
“I really do get upset when good things happen to others when it should’ve happened to me,” one person replied on Reddit.
Now, of course, there is a slight chance that the OP accidentally ordered two PS5s and Amazon simply sent them the carton to save on packaging, though they affirm that this isn’t the case, and they’re also not looking for free Reddit karma by alleging that they got a free console. For its part, Amazon could try and look for its missing hardware, but that’s doubtful, especially considering the sheer number of orders it processes by the second.
Gamers Can Truly Be A Lucky Bunch Of Individuals
If you ever need any further reminders about your level of luck in this world, then it’s probably not wise to go through the r/GameCollecting sub because the deals people allege they’ve managed to score will have you wanting to run into a wall.
Take, for example, this gamer who says they purchased three of the GameCube’s most sought after and expensive titles (Mario Kart: Double Dash, Super Mario Strikers and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness) at a yard sale.
The price? A paltry $3.
Or this person who bought a Nintendo DS case at Goodwill, only for it to be stuffed with several games, including Pokemon Black and Pokemon Fire Red, another two hard-to-find titles, all for the low price of $19.99.
Again, some people truly have all the luck.
