Competing to buy cheap PS4, gamers were pepper sprayed by police to disperse

Facing the chaotic situation when hundreds of people rushed to compete to buy PS4 cheap, French police were forced to use a device resembling pepper spray to disperse crowds. The scene surprised many people, especially GTA Online gamers because they did not expect the image of a spray bottle (Tear Gas) that they often see in the game to be used in real life like this.

To celebrate the opening of a new store in Orgeval (France), cheap supermarket chain Lidl has launched a deep discount for PS4. For only $ 106 (~ 2.4 million), gamers can own a 500GB PS4. Compared to the initial list price of $ 399, this is really a great price for those who are in need of buying this gaming device.

Not missing the opportunity, the crowds flocked to the store to win the PS4 slot, leading to the situation being too chaotic to control. Perhaps in launching this sale, the store itself did not anticipate such unrest. In the end, the police had to step in. They used a device resembling pepper spray to disperse crowds.

In the end, Lidl had to cancel the store opening ceremony due to security concerns. In addition, the sale for PS4 is also permanently canceled. French gamers may have to wait for the next sale of Sony If you want to save some money. According to reports, PS4 sales are plummeting because of the launch of generations console Next, it is likely that Sony will reduce the price a bit for PS4.

In fact, the PS4 in France is not more expensive than in the US or other European countries, but this is not the first time gamers have been overly excited about this gaming device. Last year, a young Frenchman was caught using trickery, giving PS4 like a fruit box and weighing it as usual to try to bypass the cashier but failed. This proves that French gamers seem to love the PlayStation brand.

PS5 and Xbox Series X will be released later this year. Their prices are expected to be quite high, so there is no such thing as a scramble to buy them. However, any retailer intending to sell this next-gen console probably needs to pay more attention to security to avoid similar situations from happening.​
