PS5 Owner: I just bought another PS5 (Christmas Gift)

Well.

I just not bother to check for new stocks thought the year but today a new restock happened in several stores in Brasil.
I decided to buy a new one.
I checked the first store (Casas Bahia) and well it got sold out.
I checked the Ponto Frio (Casas Bahia's sister store) and when I was checking the date it got gone again.
I could put one in Amazon but it magically said that the item was gone again in the payment page lol
I checked Fast Shop and they wanted to ask me R$90 to send the console to my city... fuck off (all the others have free shipment).
I give up momentanally.
I finally checked Magalu and boom got maybe the last unit stock of the DE.

It is the first time I buy two consoles from the same generation.
Now I have a PS5 normal and in up to 35 days I will get a PS5 DE.

I will decide late to hold both or sell the normal and hold the new DE.
It was not easy to get new one and looks like the PS5 stock in Brasil is really in a starving situation.

I will probably update this post with impressions from the DE (on pics it looks so gorgeous without that disc tray)... there is not much to talk about except the look.

PS. Sorry if I took any Brasilian spot with my Christmas gift :D and the thread titles is a copy/parody of another one but the purchase is real.

Edit - The restock latest like 30 minutes max.... it happened around 4pm GMT-3... last one happened in early November :(

Why would you sell the normal and keep the DE? Even if you're mostly digital like me, you never know when you could find a great physical deal too good to pass up.
I'm thinking in hold both but if I was to discard one it will be the disc one.
I love physical and most of my PS4 games are physical but the look of DE I believe will win my heart... I really don't like the disc tray in that design.

Edit - To explain better... I'm right now building a new home (because we are 4 and my actual home become too small... it is still fine with my son and daughter being babies but in the futureI will start to have space issues) and it will finished in June /July next year... this new house have a big recreation area where I'm thinking in setup one of PS5 (it will already have a big TV) and the other I will put on living room or bed room... not sure yet.

What was the price, tho. That's probably the most interesting part. Here you can have PS5 immediately, but for nearly double, at MSRP they are backlogged to...probably next-gen : D

I noticed it does for saved games and trophies now. If that is what you were referring to.
I’m mean if I have two will they auto sync saves between each other. I want to say the ps5 now does but I’m not sure .. if it does ill definitely get another when available.

Not sure about that one. It autosyncs to the cloud, I know that. And the cloud autosyncs to the console... so it's possible.

R$ 3999 (~$720).

Take in mind $1 is crazy high here: R$5.60.

The disc version has a much better resale value so I'd hold that even if you're all digital.
I probably won't resell one of them ever... I have all my consoles yet (first one was SNES).

That's a not that bad of a price, since here we have 22% VAT, so that is like 14k CZK, ~630 USD. Well still 100USD, but as far as I know we talked like a year back here about video game consoles tax which is high in Brazil.

It is "cheaper" than it was for PS4.... PS4 was around $800-900.
