PlayStation 5: Amazon apologises after some customers receive CAT FOOD instead of new consoles

Amazon has issued an apology after customers who ordered the new PlayStation 5 video game console ended up receiving other products instead -- notably cat food. Unhappy gamers turned to social media with concerns that their orders may have been stolen -- replaced with items from air fryers and rolls of tape to foot massagers. Demand for the much-anticipated console has far outstripped supply across the UK, with all major retailers presently reporting dwindling or depleted stocks. Launch day on November 19 saw the websites of retailers GAME and John Lewis to crash -- while Currys PC World's virtual queue amassed some 120,000 shoppers. Meanwhile, opportunistic profiteers who had succeeded in securing a PS5 have started scalping the consoles online -- with some going on eBay for twice the RRP.
