If you’re not satisfied with the PS5 restock selection at your local Best Buy, you can also try subscription-based services like Amazon’s Prime or its text service, Amazon Treasure Truck. There’s no need to sign up for a monthly or annual fee for either service, but this option won’t provide you with restocks of PS5 games. However, you might be able to save money by doing a little research and finding a store that offers PS5 restock.
GameStop
GameStop announced a restock of the PS5 last week, but their supply was gone in minutes. Many were left unable to place their order because of technical issues, which was especially frustrating for the retailer’s online customers. The restock was limited to bundles, which have lower profit margins than single units. So, what should you do now? First, you should try purchasing one from Amazon instead. If that doesn’t work, try contacting GameStop or Best Buy. You can also follow a dependable console tracker to be updated about when and where they restock PS5 units.
Amazon
If you are in the market for a new PlayStation 5, there are a few ways to get one before it is sold out. First of all, you should subscribe to the Walmart+ program, which is a benefit of Prime. Once you’ve joined the program, you will be notified by email when the PS5 is restocked. In addition, you can request an invitation to buy the PS5 if you haven’t done so yet. However, you should be aware that this doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the PS5, as the PS5 is a hot item.
Target
If you’re not a loyal Best Buy customer, you’ll be happy to hear that Target is planning to restock the PS5 this Friday. The retail giant started dropping the console at random on Wednesdays and Thursdays but has since switched to a Friday schedule. The good news is that you don’t need to wait until Friday to buy a PS5. If you want a PS5 bundle, you should check the Target website in advance to find out when they to restock will be.
Sam’s Club
If you haven’t yet gotten your hands on a PS5 but would like to, you can now get one at a low price thanks to restocking events at the best buy and Sam’s Club. Each of these stores will hold PS5 restocks on a periodic basis. In general, these events are open to all customers, regardless of membership status. Best Buy will hold restock events in waves, with each wave restocking in roughly ten-minute intervals.
Newegg
If you are a gamer who wants to own the PlayStation 5, you can find it at Newegg. They currently have a PS5 bundle available for $889, which includes Spiderman: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Far Cry 6, Battlefield 2042, Deathloop, and more. To enter, you will have to follow some of the gaming accounts on Newegg.
Sony’s website
When it comes to finding the best buy for PS5, you’ll want to check Sony’s website for restock information. Often, you can get exclusive invites to purchase the PlayStation 5 only if you subscribe to Sony Direct. But you have to be online at the right time or you’ll miss the opportunity to get your hands on a PS5.
PayPal
Target’s normal credit card processing fields are right there where you can enter your payment information, but during the PS5 restock, those fields are hammered. Using PayPal will save you time and ensure that your payment information is secure, but it is a good idea to create an account with your credit card information anyway. In addition, using PayPal will allow you to save your shipping address and payment information for future purchases.
Apple Pay
When buying a PS5 at Best Buy, you can now make the transaction with Apple Pay. The company also has an app for iOS and Android, making the process easier than ever. After you’ve made your purchase, you can check out, and pick up your console five days later. Unlike other retail stores, however, Best Buy does not deliver the PS5 console to your home. Instead, you can simply use the app on your mobile phone.
