Player gets God of War: Ragnarok PS5 bundle early by mistake

Gamers aren't supposed to receive their God of War: Ragnarok PS5 bundle until November 9, the same day the game comes out. The fact that this happened after ordering directly from PlayStation is emblematic of a larger issue.

The good news is the gamer isn't open to using the PS5 bundle to her advantage.

As other users quickly jumped on the reveal and told her to sell the console to eager buyers for a markup, Smith declined and said she doesn't "believe in scalping. Ever." Smith added that she's not the one who owns the console as she just ordered it for someone else. She'll leave the decision on what to do about the console to the actual owner. If they report it to Sony, they'll probably have to send it back and wait for a replacement. But, since that's too much hassle, we're hoping that Sony has a more convenient solution for the aggrieved party.

Having said that, Smith and the owner of the PS5 bundle won't be able to play God of War: Ragnarok before November 9 anyway.

Unlike the physical copies that are already out in the world, the one included in the God of War: Ragnarok PS5 bundle is just a digital code. This means that it won't unlock until launch date on November 9. Since it doesn't sport a custom design, the bundle doesn't hold much value outside of bragging rights.
