Would you rather have immediate access to the COVID-19 vaccine, or three PS5s?

[Meg Cherry]

A few rules -

- The COVID-19 vaccine is nontransferrable. A doctor will come to your house today, give you the injection - and return in two weeks for the second dose.

- The PS5s are transferrable. Sell them, gift them, use them - it's up to you. All three are the Disc edition.

- If you choose the PS5s, you still get the vaccine at the same time you'd get it otherwise. Same place in line.

- You are the only person being made this offer. The supply/demand on vaccines and PS5s will not be significantly altered by your choice.

vaccine this isn't even a fucking question for me.

 

[Deleted member 12224]

I'd give my PS5 away right now to get a fucking vaccine, what the fuck is happening.

Hell I'd give it away to get my mother or grandmother vaccinated tomorrow, forget myself. I've lost enough.

What the hell is this.

 

[Nappuccino]

I've literally spent 10 months in my apartment. I leave it maybe 2-3 times a week to pick up food and take a walk. But that's it.

Yeah, I'll take that Vaccine, are you crazy?

The PS5s

 

[inner-G]

I regularly work from home, 2020 has basically taught me that I've already been quarantined for 5 years.

I'd flip those PS5s and still get the shots at the same time I would have anyway.

Easy, I don't really desire a PS5.

 

[DJ_Lae]

PS5s.

There is little practical use of a vaccine for me, personally, at this moment. Still working from home and isolating and doing my part.

I'd wipe every PS5 off the earth for vaccines for everyone, though.

This might be the weirdest and most off-putting WYR thread title in era history

 

[CortexVortex]

I already have a PS5, but walking through Hamburg without the fear of getting Covid sounds dope.

Does this scenario apply to everyone in the world (like do they all get the same choice)? Because if its just me I don't see how me being vaccinated stops or slows the pandemic.

The OP indicates that it is a vaccine ONLY FOR YOU.

Vaccinating yourself will not stop the pandemic.

I'm taking the PS5s and flipping them for some $$$

 

[coldzone24]

None of the restrictions will change if I get a vaccine right away and having a PS5 would make staying indoors for a few more months much more bearable. Plus I could sell the other two for a quick buck.

 

[cosmickosm]

Assuming this question just pertains to me and nobody else, then yeah I'll take the PS5's and sell them to make some money. Me being the only person vaccinated isn't going to do anything. Especially when I'm just stuck in the apartment.

 

[Cross-Section]

I feel like answering PS5s is only remotely acceptable if you live somewhere virus-free like New Zealand

 

[Forerunner]

lol

 

[King Alamat]

What I've learned from this website tells me you don't even need the PS5s to be a decent scalper.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

I picked vaccines at first but then it's not like I'd be going out in public and living life as before so the ps5 are tempting since I'm non essential

 

[TGR Sean]

How is this even a question? SMH at the ratio.

One person getting the vaccine doesn't immediately solve the problem, though. You're mostly just suring up your own personal health. But it isn't like the lockdown order will suddenly be lifted for you and you alone because you got the shot.

Considering wide access to vaccine could come as early as March, you may just be taking a three month jump ahead in line.

epic gamer question

 

[Deleted member 4461]

Three PS5s, probably. Reason why is because on an immediate basis, the vaccine won't let me do anything. I can at least be confident that I don't catch/spread COVID.

But the 3 PS5s can be sold for minimum $1500, if I decide not to be an ass about the price. That's useful as long as I remain careful and relatively isolated.

And I'll still get the vaccine no matter what. So it's basically - $1500 and vaccine or vaccine and no extra money.

 

[Herb Alpert]

The consoles
I'd rather let people with more risk factors get the vaccine, my turn will come in due time.

 

[Blargonaut]

PS5s obviously

Can't kill me if I have no life

 

[Deleted member 8852]

I'll get the PS5s, I don't mind waiting another 1-2 months for the vaccine.

 

[Sylvestre]

very surprised at the polling answer so far, is resetera full of old and obese people ?
3 PS5 could grant me a nice nest for a few months
covid vaccine is useless if you are the only one getting it, unless people here are affraid to die, wich would be surprising given it doesnt really kill people under 60
I dont get the demo of the people here wtf.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Definitely the vaccine. I don't even need a PS5 until games start coming out that actually matter.

 

[808s & Villainy]

. . .

 

[Max|Payne]

OP, it's monday, wtf...

 

[Razmos]

This is such a weird thread lol

 

[Lari]

3 ps5s, the amount i'd get from selling the 2 I don't need is enough for me to get by for a few years. (that's 10,000 reais!!!)
And i'd be getting my vaccine as soon as I could anyway.

 

[Santos]

us gamers, huh?

 

[giancarlo123x]

My fucking head

 

[Jive Turkey]

I don't even want ONE PS5 so...

 

[plain]

PS5.

Vaccines are limited, give them to the high risk health care workers instead.

 

[Gassy_N0va]

This is peak gamer

 

[splash wave]

Taking the vaccine would protect you from the virus, but it wouldn't actually mean you can freely leave your house and go back to normal. I don't think the PS5 answers are crazy at all.

 

[FliX]

Some thought experiments are better not put to paper...
