Sony Japan's PS5 Pro anti-scalper lottery requires a Japanese account with 60 hours of play
I hate having to prove my brand loyalty just for the chance to buy hardware at full price
Brief
Sony Japan has rolled out an anti-scalper lottery for PS5 Pro orders that requires a Sony account registered in Japan with at least 60 hours of gaming on PS4, PS5, or both. Valve also set reservation requirements for the Steam Frame launch, including a Steam account in good standing and a purchase made before April 27th 2026. The author argues these brand loyalty tests, while aimed at scalpers, make buying hardware at full price a qualification process.
