A group of British MPs have called for legislation to prevent PS5 and Xbox Series X/S scalpers from reselling consoles for “vast profits”.

Six Scottish National Party tabled an Early Day Motion on Monday, calling for legislative proposals “prohibiting the resale of gaming consoles and computer components at prices greatly above Manufacturer’s Recommended Retail Price.”

Early Day Motions are motions tabled by Members of Parliament that formally call for debate in the House to draw attention to particular subjects of interest.

Monday’s motion, which has so far been signed by a total of 15 Members of Parliament, also calls on the UK government to make the resale of goods purchased using automated bots – software favoured by scalpers to circumvent retail queues – an illegal activity.
