How to Find the PS5 in Stock Now

How to Find the PS5 in Stock Now is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.

Finding Sony’s PS5 in stock is difficult. This guide will help you get one, hopefully without paying inflated prices. It will also show you where to check for new PS5 stock and how to get notified when stock is available at a retailer so you can order a console quickly.

Sony’s PS5 Digital Edition is $399.99 while the standard disc version retails for $499.99. Sony has raised the PS5 price in markets outside of the United States by as much as 21%.

Both versions of the PlayStation 5 can be hard to find right now and it might take some patience if you haven’t managed to track one down yet.

Where to Find the PS5 in Stock Now

The PS5 is sold directly at several stores though many of them are sold out. You can, however, buy it right now on resale sites like eBay if you’re willing to pay a premium for the console.

Here’s a rundown of where you can check the PS5 stock manually. This is smart to do because it can give you an edge in some cases.

You can use the links below to check for the PS5 Digital Edition in stock to save $100 if you don’t want access to the console’s disc drive.

Some retailers let you sign up for in-stock alerts. Some also allow you to join special programs, like Amazon Prime and Walmart Plus, and these may give you access to PS5 stock.

It’s also worth noting that you can still register for an opportunity to purchase a PS5 directly from Sony. You can signup for a chance to buy one over on Sony’s website.

You can also try and order inside physical retail locations, some GameStop locations have allowed this, but quantities may already be spoken for.

How to Get a PS5 Right Now

If you don’t want to deal with manually tracking stock at retailers or waiting for orders to start back up when small amounts of stock trickle in, you can look for both PS5 models at resellers like eBay and Craigslist.

People are reselling both versions of the PS5 on eBay for well over their standard retail price. In some cases, we’ve seen the consoles listed at well over $1000. That’s obviously far from ideal, but it’s an option if you’re tired of waiting.

Be careful to read the listing before you buy as we’ve seen questionable listings. eBay is pretty good at closing them down, but you’ll still want to exercise caution.
