Oh, that reminds me the time my then girlfriend and me went to Paraguay to smuggle shit, some decade and half ago. One of the things that she wanted was a new gaming console, I also bought some PC pieces. Also some booze.

We crossed four government borders, as we went in a circle: Brazil, Paraguay (for smuggling), Argentina (to visit her family), Uruguay ("might as well do some sightseeing"), Brazil. And she was often tipsy while ~~drinking~~ driving. And yet in no moment we were stopped by customs, even if the BR/PY and PY/AR borders are often used for smuggling.

Welcome to Latin America! Nothing works in Latin America! But sometimes for your benefit. Yay!

Anyway I feel sorry for Tunisianon. Although... this is from /b/, isn't it? Likely /b/ullshit.

Although the story overall is not true, but sadly everything in the is not one will need to work for mouths to by a PS5 in Tunisia and the post can simply tell you to funk off for any reason or charge you double in tariffs (it happened to me twice) going aprod to Europe is almost impossible in legal way and airport security still shite all the time (phone, wine, PS5 etc...) buying a PC that is the way to go and when you go to the post to get you GPU the have no idea what it's, so they don't care "PC master race" is really here

Finally get one and it’s just the same PS4 games with slightly smaller pixels.

I find that green-text hard go believe. But let me go straight with this one - If I worked my ass to buy not only one PS5 but 2 and they got stolen or some other shit I'd probably never touch video games again and find some other hobby.

Shit I'd probably still be in jail for going apeshit at the airport

Also they can just go to France to get one.

Where is the joke? Or the point? Why post this one?
