Update: the PS5 refueling queue is now open on Sony Direct, and we are waiting for the console along with many other desperate PlayStation fans. We will let you know if we find it in stock or it runs out before we reach the beginning of the queue. Keep trying.
If you’re looking for where to buy the PS5, Sony Direct has PS5 consoles in stock and the queue will open momentarily, but join the queue quickly when it goes live – they usually sell out in less than thirty minutes.
Just make sure you’re in line for the correct edit:

Refueling on the Sony Direct PS5 is active for a short time, but there is good news: after being quiet for most of January, they appear to be opening the queues during the week as in previous months. if they are in stock.
That said, other retailers replenished the PS5 much more frequently in January, so we advise potential buyers to check out the links below for Amazon, GameStop, Target and Walmart – they are more reliable. Amazon and GameStop in particular could replenish the PS5 overnight, which is why we advise potential buyers to check out our links to these retailers below.

How to prepare for a Sony Direct PS5 stock drop
If you later join the queue, make sure to keep the browser sound on to hear the beep if you get to the front of the queue – it looks like seats are randomly assigned and, unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing if you’ll be able to get shares – as Sony says, just getting in line is no guarantee of stealing a console.
Also remember to have a PSN account with Sony and fill it out with payment and shipping details to make your life a little easier. You will only have 10 minutes when the signal sounds, so act quickly.
