The PlayStation 5 is probably one of the rarest commodities of 2020. Sony’s latest console sold out like hot cakes at launch and has been almost impossible to acquire ever since. However, the company had promised more consoles would be available closer to the end of 2020, and they delivered on their promise.
Several retailers in the US announced a re-stocking of the PS5, but even these were sold out quickly. Consequently, a lot of people couldn’t get their hands on a PS5 even this time. Although, there is one particular US Space Force Airman who might’ve gone a little too far in his attempt to acquire the console and had to face the music for it.

According to this report by Task & Purpose, this particular Space Force Airman was 30 minutes late to his fitness training. On being questioned as to why he was late, the Airman revealed that he was scouting local Target stores for purchasing a PS5. Clearly, there is no way this could’ve ended well for him. However, to make matters worse, when his superior officer asked him to get back to training, he allegedly said ‘Yolo, PS5>letters of discipline.’

This also puts a lot of things into perspective. The PS5 has become such a rare commodity that people are ready to put their jobs on the line to get it. Clearly, Sony wouldn’t want its customers to lose their jobs while trying to get a PS5. Hopefully, more consoles will be restocked in early 2021 and such occurrences will not happen.
