The PlayStation 5 might be the most sought after entertainment product in the world right now as the console becomes incredibly difficult to get ahold of in the lead up to Christmas. Pre-orders are over and done with and even the promise of more stock before December's big day will leave some parents with uncertainty over whether they can deliver on their child's gaming wishes. This viral PS5 tweet brings us back down to earth, however, explaining that the situation really isn't that serious. It comes after one customer appears to have ripped into a DualSense controller's packaging to steal it while the product still hangs on the shelf.

The craziest thing about the post though is that it has amassed a ludicrous 14,700 retweets and 136,700 likes in less than two days. That sure is a lot of shareability, especially considering the tweet probably took about 30 seconds to put together. So, what actually happened here? Did the culprit get away with the crime or were they caught trying to leave the store? We need to know. If anything, it's a reminder that there are more important things in life than the current PS5 stock situation.

I don't know what to say...
I know what im doing when i go to target or best buy. Unless security guards are more active after this lmao.
Why is no one getting worried that it was actually a REALLY LARGE MOUSE OR RAT?
Maybe they just wanted to check it had the correct buttons before they bought it?
@Rudy_Manchego Could it have been an ROUS?
I ate it mmm yummy cardboard
@Total_Weirdo You seem to have forgotten when those rumours went around that you could wrap PS2 games in tinfoil and the sensors wouldn’t go off in the shops if you nicked it. Basically every shopping centre’s security guards had to chase after 15 year old idiots for a few months 😂
These people are rabid over the PS5 lol. Did someone really Falcon punch the corner of that box and rip the Dualsense out? Sheesh.
Y'know if it was the console I could understand since they're hard to find but the controller is in-stock everywhere lol.
This clearly one of the astro bots escaping!
@Deadlyblack people steal things far cheaper that £60
That's some really strong haptic feedback.
@Total_Weirdo The UK is the worst for shoplifting in Europe
Sweet as my meat!
It was a dog ate that PS5 controller box. 🤣
@tartanross Rule Britannia!
Fake I think. Why would a shop and a independent shop rack up the controllers like the have. I mean there's another box right next to it every shop I used to go in pre covid had an empty box and if you wanted it you would have to ask for it over the counter. Also wheres the internal packaging? There is nothing sticking out of the exterior box.
The DualSense is good, it escaped on its own.
Perhaps the thief was just hungry?
Must have been the PSP rap guy lol
Limited stock creates demand.
People will pay more money for something if they think its sold out.
Business.
Regarding the photo, this is just one of the reasons I despise the commonfolk
@huntbearpig "INCONCEIVABLE!"
hmm must be one of those protests #playstationcontrollersmatter
Alien Xenomorph is my bet. This is Sigourney Weavers fault.
@Medic_Alert you're not wrong, mine turned up last week along with the pulse headset and charging station, I was really looking forward to unboxing them, how disappointed was I when met with a load of plain folded cardboard!
A rather excited gaurd dog 😂
Now that's some real next-gen level rumble motors!
Y'all gonna have shattered wrists playing them shoot-em-ups.
