We’re tracking the PS5 replenishment news for Saturday, and while finding console stock is extremely rare over the weekend, it’s still worth a try. We have a new way to track PS5 inventory, which has proved successful for many buyers in the United States via Twitter.
Follow us for notifications on where to buy the PS5 below – has worked for others.
The PS5 refueling was sold at Best Buy. About 35% of my responses on the tweet are from people who received them! Shocking! 😮Follow and ♻️RT me + @techradar for instant tracking alerts from PlayStation 5 🚨 pic.twitter.com/S6fZmFGbDYFebruary 19, 2021
We are tracking resupply availability at 12 different large retailers. So far this week, we’ve seen the PS5 fall four times in four different stores: Amazon on Tuesday, Sony Direct on Wednesday, Antonline and Best Buy on Friday.
Tip 1: Follow us on Twitter above to receive notifications on where you’ll get it next. That’s where you’ll find minute one where you can buy it. See that it really works:
That makes me happy. I have seen similar responses all night. The rest of you will also have PS5 refueling, and I will be happy to have played a small role. ❤️💪🏻 https://t.co/TtalBIhv1SFebruary 20, 2021
Tip 2: Tell us if you were successful via Twitter. This helps people to know what works and what doesn’t.
We are checking PS5 inventory at every major U.S. retailer, including Sony Direct, GameStop, Walmart, Target and Best Best. We are monitoring 12 different stores so that you can get the PS5 in its normal MSRP.
GameStop is important because it sells PS5 packages. There are all the resellers who try to make a profit and need to sell games that are easy to buy for the full price. This is a much more difficult resale opportunity for them – and a benefit for real players.
Some basic rules for Sony Direct: Remember, whenever PS5 refueling takes place in the United States, it will put you in a virtual queue and randomly pick people to buy the much sought-after video game console. You are not guaranteed to get one.
As we always warned, joining the Sony Direct queue does not mean that you will find the console in stock. Most people will see “more than an hour of waiting” from the estimated waiting time. That’s what the message says to us. For others, they will see a queue of just a few minutes.
Here are more rules, according to Sony:
- First, you will need an active PSN account to complete the purchase.
- Second, you will have 10 minutes to purchase the PS5.
- Third, “PS5 consoles are now available, but are not guaranteed even if you are in the queue,” according to Sony.a
Trust us, you are serious about buying the PS5 in ten minutes. Make sure you have all your information ready for your PS5 purchase.
