Buy PS5: 1000 consoles for children in need - basketball star tells a touching story
This is what Shaquille O'Neal says:
In a podcast, the basketball star reports on his fundraising campaign and reveals that he not only bought 1,000 PS5s, but also 1,000 Nintendo Switches.
So he says:
My father was a drill sergeant; my mother was a hard working woman.
They had little, but they taught me the value of giving back.
You taught me the importance of helping people in need.

The basketball star then says that he got a total of 1000 Nintendo Switches through a friend at Nintendo and that he also bought around 1000 PS5s.
Tears flowed as the gift was handed over: “
Yesterday the children in this small elementary school in McDonough, Georgia, cried and were happy.
And that's what it's all about.
"
With this, Shaquille O'Neal shows true charity and not only invests his estimated net worth of approximately $ 400 million in himself, but also gives something back to the people around him.
This is behind the PS5:
The Sony console is also widely sold out in the USA.
Not only Germany is struggling with massive supply problems, but also other countries.
That's why it shouldn't have been so easy for Shaquille O'Neal to get hold of the 1000 PS5.

Buy PS5: The situation in Germany is coming to a head again - no supplies in sight
This is the current situation:
In Germany, the PS5 is currently sold out everywhere.
Every now and then there are supplies at some retailers, but they are also sold out within a few minutes.
In the new year, however, the PS5 was never available in Germany.
In general, it is probably the first time that all retailers have to recover from business around Christmas and have knocked out all consoles in December.
It remains to be seen when the first retailer will start selling PS5 in 2022.
