Then there were the thousands of hours running raids in Destiny with both real-life friends and people I'd only met online—oh, to go back to the days of Destiny LFG, when everyone was ripping huge bong hits during Crota's End.

PS5 availability at AmazonWe don't know when you'll be able to buy a PS5 from Amazon again. Even Amazon doesn't know when the PS5 will next be in stock, as indicated on the console's product page. In the past, Amazon has occasionally set up new listing pages to make it tougher for bots to track. It has been one of the most inconsistent retailers for the system since it launched.
