I did not feel sad or laugh that there are people from Europe or from countries that are not the USA defending the increase in the price of PlayStation 5 while precisely in the USA prices are not going to increase. They 💩 in their mouths and still defend it. 🐏🐏 #XboxSeriesX #PS5 #Microsoft #XboxSeriesS pic.twitter.com/GEQUNSAOUW

taking advantage of that $ony it is hitting its users so hard, and that so many clever tweets have to be answered.
Because we did not create a gallery / collection of Memes, to use in this crusade.

For now, it is not confirmed when the price increases will take place. But new console shipments are likely to be the first affected.
