   Scalpers Target GTA 6 DualSense Controllers as Pre-orders Launch

   Scalpers are reselling GTA 6 themed DualSense controllers immediately following the start of pre-orders. High demand caused the PlayStation Direct website to crash and left available stock limited. In the UK, the black controller variant already has a queue. While official pre-orders are live, the secondary market is already active as buyers struggle to secure units at retail prices.

   Why it matters

   The release of themed hardware for Grand Theft Auto VI typically triggers extreme consumer demand. This pattern often leads to inventory shortages and opportunistic price hikes by third-party resellers.
