There are currently two versions of the PS5 game console, one is the PS5 disc version console, which is priced at 15,980 yuan in Taiwan. The other is the PS5 digital version of the console without a disc, which is priced at 12,980 yuan in Taiwan. At the time Sony planned this way, the main reason was to divide the console into high-end and low-priced versions, and to attract different consumers through different pricing strategies.
However, in the case of a general shortage of chips, no matter which version it is, it is hard to find a single machine. If you go to the official website, the status is almost always displayed as out of stock. For consumers who do not have a console, seeing that the console they ordered has never been shipped, they are distraught. In fact, no matter which version it is, as long as they can buy it, it is good.
However, for some American Wal-Mart consumers, the wait may be worthwhile.
An e-mail posted by a player on Twitter showed that after the digital version of the PS5 he purchased from Wal-Mart was out of stock, the store even told him that he was sorry because the digital version of PS5 had been out of stock. Now the store has a disc version of the PS5. , So I directly helped him upgrade to the CD-ROM version of PS5 for shipment.
Wal-Mart stated in the email, “PS5 is our best-selling product. The PS5 you pre-ordered (digital version) is too popular, so we can’t ship it to you. So we think you should get a chance to upgrade, so we Decided to upgrade your (digital version) PS5 to a disc version without any additional charges. There will be no changes in other aspects of the order, and you will still receive the goods on time.
We apologize if you have any comments about our replacement products, but hope you will like our upgrade.
Janey Whiteside, Chief Customer Service Officer of Walmart”
Of course, this is only an isolated case, but this kind of “intimate” upgrade of Wal-Mart is also rare. It may be that the player’s order for the digital version of PS5 has been waiting for too long, and it has to be upgraded.
