If you are reading this, we assume that you have not yet been able to communicate with the coveted Sony PlayStation 5. Low inventory at major retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, Walmart and Sony itself means that many gamers have been stuck in a frustrating and familiar routine: learning about a PS5 inventory drop, getting their hopes up, frantically clicking. time and time again, waiting in a queue and instead of a PS5, the unfortunate “out of stock” message appears. But fear not! There are ways to improve your chances.
First, don’t wait until you hear about a PS5 resupply; check the store inventory links yourself daily or even several times a day. (We have them all lined up below.) If you have a chance to find any PS5 availability, use as many devices and web browsers as you can. On a desktop, for example, you can open the retailer’s page in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Then you could do the same on your tablet and phone. It’s like lottery tickets: the more you have, the better your chances of winning.
If you’re starting to break down and considering buying a PS5 right now, you can, but at the cost of some obscene markup on sites like eBay Y StockX. On eBay, for example, we’ve seen that the PS5 is priced at over $ 1,000.

The PS5 is available in two versions: there is one $ 500 model with a Blu-ray drive and an otherwise identical $ 400 digital-only version with no disc slot. At this point, people are happy to get their hands on either one, but if you don’t have an optical disc library, for Blu-ray movies, used games, or old PS4 games – CNET recommends that go with the $ 400 version.

PS5 resupply possibilities

You can check out the Amazon page to get the $ 400 digital edition via the button below, or if you prefer, queue up for the PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500.
You can check inventory on the $ 400 digital edition at Walmart by clicking the button below, or you can try buying the more expensive PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500.

Okay, you’ve exhausted all the online and traditional retailers, and you’ve decided you’re willing to pay over $ 300 to get this pup soon. As friends, we have to tell you: Do not do it. But if you don’t want to listen to us, we recommend checking out StockX, an eBay alternative that has become famous in the aftermarket for designer shoes and clothing. Last time we checked, prices for the PS5 were around $ 700.
If you’ve decided that you just can’t wait a moment longer for Sony to get together and flood the market with inventory, eBay is a shortcut to getting your own PS5 right now. With that said, let me reiterate our advice: no PS5 is worth spending hundreds over the list price, and that’s exactly what you’ll have to do if you buy from an eBay reseller. The average price of the PS5 on eBay is around $ 900.
