You can buy the PlayStation 5 directly from Sony or from a variety of major retailers. We don’t know exactly when new stocks will appear, but rest assured, more consoles are on the way. Here are some of the main places you should pay attention to:
Tips to increase your opportunities
Stocks can drop without notice at any time, but you shouldn’t sit around websites constantly refreshing the page in hopes of getting a PS5. Here are some tips to increase your chances of getting one. And trust us, even if you follow our advice, it is still a painful and aggravating process. You could have zero luck finding one. The best we can say is be patient and keep trying.
Contract: Sign up for accounts with Sony and all the retailers you are tracking. Enter and save your credit card information so you can check faster for a PS5 showing up. If you have a PS5 in your cart, but you don’t check out on time, save it in your cart for the next time it’s available so you can check out faster.
Sony direct tail: Sony has a system where you can join a queue for a chance to buy a PS5. The good news is that there are measures to block scalper robots. You need a PSN account and it’s a good idea to enter your address and payment information in advance. Once you join the virtual queue, you should get wait time estimates. Keep your browser window open and don’t be tempted to leave or you will lose your place. You may have to solve a captcha to prove that you are not a bot, so be prepared. Unfortunately, there is a chance that you will wait only to be told that it is out of stock.
Twitter share alerts: There are several accounts on Twitter that tweet when PS5 stocks land. Large retailers also sometimes tweet from official accounts about restocking. You will need a Twitter account and the application on your phone. Once you’ve followed an account, tap the bell icon to get alerts when they tweet. Just keep in mind that you will get spam and ads for other things from some accounts. Here are a few that may be worth following: @ Wario64, @ PS5RestockAlert, @ PS5StockAlerts, @ iloveps_5.
Consider the packages: Some retailers mix up new PlayStation 5 stock in bundles, selling the console with additional accessories or games. These packages can be expensive, but if they include items that you are already planning to buy, they may make sense for you. Packs don’t tend to sell out as quickly or attract as many resellers, so you have a better chance of getting one before they all run out.
Stock trackers: Various websites and services track the stock of the PS5 console at a wide variety of retailers. Try Stock Informer, NowInStock, or the OctoShop Chrome extension. You can sign up and receive alerts on multiple channels with these stock trackers, but you will need to react quickly when an alert appears, because many people use them.
Be persistent: If you know a new batch of PS5 consoles has hit the market, don’t be put off by out-of-stock notices. Many retailers will release new stock in waves throughout the day, so it may be worth checking periodically.
