PlayStation 5 fans 'jealous' as Travis Scott shows off his console weeks ahead of launch

After months of anticipation, Sony finally announced the launch date for its PlayStation 5 console this month.

With a launch date of November 19 in the UK, most fans still have a while to wait to get their hands on a PS5.

However, it seems that Sony has already given the console to a select few, including rapper Travis Scott.

Scott shared an image of the PlayStation 5 controller on Instagram, simply writing: “I will be playing until the sun up.”

Unsurprisingly, many fans are jealous of Scott’s preview of the console.

One commented: “Perks of being famous,” while another added: “The power of the rich. No respect for the normal.”

Meanwhile, one joked: “I get why but always hate that famous people get preferential treatment (yeah I'm jealous!)”

The official release date is November 12, with fans in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand South Korea able to get their hands on the console on that date.
