PS4s loaded with P.T. demo flood eBay. SPOILER: they ain’t cheap

Some prices are just as scary as this picture. LISA STAHP

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times more; I’m not a hardcore horror fan, not by a longshot, but I loved the P.T. demo, enough so that I actually found myself yearning to play the full game, Silent Hills, when it eventually released in a few years time. Sadly, the game has been cancelled, and P.T. is no longer available – it was removed from the Playstation store yesterday as a matter of fact. Did you miss it? Don’t worry, you can drop some cash, lots of it, to buy one of the dozens of neat new P.T. bundles that have popped up all over eBay if you did.

You’ll have to look carefully though, I’m sure you want the best bang for your buck! Here are some of the top listings from eBay (via VG247):

PT EBAY

PT EBAY OMG

WTF DARRYL

What a tough choice. Do I pay the cheaper price and get the rarer, white PS4, or do I cough up four times as much to get the standard console, but with more games? Screw that, I think I’ll go for the R118 550.72 console because expensive equals better, right? Don’t question my logic, this is how shopping works!

In all seriousness, this sort of thing just makes me shake my head. It’s literally Flappy Bird all over again. Take away something from people and they want it even more, so much so that they’ll gladly pay too much money to get it.

As fantastic as the P.T demo is, I would never recommend buying it. Ever. It was free for so many months! If you missed out and desperately want to be scared by that F&^%# terrifying Lisa, best you find a friend who has the demo installed – I just hope they’re not one of the sellers pawning off their Playstation 4 for millions, or an idiot who payed millions of monies for the demo in the first place.

          Even worse a demo of a game which will never see a full release.

            The Demo was so good, I’m sad all over again.

            I guess the value is in the fact that it’s a demo off a game that will never come to light, so people that can waste that amount of money must be very nostalgic.

            Hey, that means most of us have a PS4 worth $10 000! What a time to be alive…

            Well they throw large amounts of green at people on Twitch, so not sure.

      I’d do that if someone were willing to pay me for it. Don’t blame me if people want it. 🙂

    I still gots it, precious! I kept it coz it’s a really neat demo and actually had me on edge during my time playing it (not an easy task, as I don’t scare easily). Now I’ll definitely hold onto it indefinitely – 1.7GB of space well worth setting aside.

        I know, right?! I am, literally, f#kken upset with Konami! To the point I am actually considering not getting the next MGS… Or, if I do, get it a year from now for R150 2nd hand at BT… But I’m torn – wanna support Kojima, but think Konami are total d%cks!

        Ultimate sad panda!

      From what I understand, apparently no. They’ve had it completely removed from the PSN servers, so there’s no longer anything to access / download. It’s the demo of a cancelled game, so understandable they don’t want anymore people getting hold of it and potentially hyped for something that ain’t coming. But that doesn’t mean they’re right… Idjits!
