PS5 replenishment: inventory updates from retailers on Amazon, GameStop, Sony, Walmart, Best Buy and more

If you’re reading this, chances are you haven’t been able to get your hands on the coveted yet. Sony PlayStation 5. Low stock at major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop and Sony itself has left many people stuck in a familiar and exasperating routine: find out about a PS5 refueling, get your hopes up, click frantically, wait in line and instead of a PS5, you receive the dreaded “sold out” message. But don’t be afraid! There are ways to increase your chances.

First, don’t wait until you hear about a PlayStation 5 refueling; check store inventory links for yourself daily or even several times a day. (We have them all lined up below.) If you have any PS5 availability, use as many browsers and devices as you can. On a desktop, for example, you can open the retailer’s page in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. Then, you can 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 crack and thinking about buying a PS5 now, you can do that, but at the cost of obscene markup on sites like eBay and StockX. On eBay, for example, we saw the PS5 priced well over $ 1,000.

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

PS5 refueling possibilities

Best Buy is offering the PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500, as well as the $ 400 digital edition (which you can find by clicking the button below). The retailer is also offering a range of accessories on its PS5 homepage.

You can check the Amazon page for the $ 400 digital edition via the button below or, if you prefer, queue for the PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500.

You can check Walmart’s $ 400 digital edition inventory by clicking the button below, or you can try to steal the most expensive PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500.

Target will be offering the PS5 with Blu-ray for $ 500, in addition to the PS5 Digital Edition, which you can find by clicking the button below.

OK, you have exhausted all online and traditional retailers and have decided that you are willing to pay more than $ 300 to purchase this puppy soon. As your friends, we have to tell you: Do not do it. But if you don’t want to hear from us, take a look at StockX, an eBay alternative that made its name in the secondary market for designer sneakers and clothing. Last time we checked, PS5 prices were hovering just under $ 700.

If you’ve decided that you just can’t wait another moment for Sony to compose itself and flood the market with stock, eBay is a shortcut to getting your own PS5 now. That said, let me reiterate our advice: It is not worth spending hundreds of dollars on the PS5 above the list price, and that is exactly what you will have to do if you buy from an eBay dealer. The average price of the PS5 on eBay is around $ 900.
