【摘要2021.4.28.自由】◎管淑平
Furious British gamers and lawmakers are
training their sights on "scalpers" who are buying up coveted PS5 and
Xbox consoles and selling them online at vastly inflated prices.
氣沖沖的英國玩家和議員將焦點指向「黃牛」，這些黃牛買光搶手的PS5、Xbox電玩主機，然後在網路上以大幅灌水的價格出售。
The popular consoles have also been hard
to come by in other parts of the world, but in Britain anger has boiled over to
the point where some lawmakers want to ban the practice of reselling them
online at higher prices.
這些熱門電玩主機在世界其他地方也一機難求，但是在英國掀起的怒火已沸騰，一些議員為此打算禁止網路高價轉售的作法。
While a PS5 normally costs between £360
and £450 depending on the model, its median resale price on sites like eBay is
£650-£750, according to US researcher Michael Driscoll. （AFP）
