The PS5 - the newest console in the latest generation of gaming. It's been highly sought after - but for more reasons than one. The pandemic has meant there's been a higher demand for electronics, and a chip shortage has caused a lower supply of consoles.

Click explores the world of scalping - talking to people who want to make as much money as they can, but also those who rely on it to keep a roof over their heads.
