PS5 on sale from GameStop at 3:30 pm!

PS5 on sale from GameStop at 3

Update 15:38: consoles sold out!

After proposing some interesting offers related to PS4 games in the morning, we now point out, and with great pleasure, that this afternoon the much desired PlayStation 5 Sony will be available again on the GameStop store pages! A news that, we are sure, will make many of our readers very happy and that, as always, we invite you to grasp immediately given the scarcity of consoles available on the market.

Once logged in, and given the waiting for the start of sales, you will be automatically queued to access the site, so you can buy PlayStation 5 only when your turn comes. To the detriment of misunderstandings, we would like to point out that you may access the site after sales have already finished, since the system automatically manages the entrances and only participation in waiting in the "waiting room" does not constitute any guarantee on the purchase.

Having clarified this, we also point out that this is the first time that GameStop will not make any sales bundles available. The console, in fact, will be available only in its two “classic” formats, namely the one with a disc player, and the one exclusively for digital games (and therefore without a player). An anomaly if you consider the recent past of GameStop sales in which, as you will recall, at least a third purchase option was always made available, usually including a second pad or some games.

Possible that yes traits, therefore, of the latest stocks available for the portal, which would therefore have decided to offer its latest PlayStation 5 through a direct sale of the machine and without any bundle. Obviously this is conjecture but, in fact, thinking about the latest sales, the absence of bundles seems very suspicious.

Given this, this could really be one of the last good opportunities in the coming months to buy your PlayStation 5, given that the persistent shortage of components caused by COVID-19 could - as you know - prevent a return to normal at the end of 2021, if not until 2022! Having clarified this, we invite you once again to take advantage of this opportunity to immediately buy your PlayStation 5, it is clear that we at sportsgaming.win will keep the situation under constant control and will update the news as soon as the opportunity arises.

PS5 restock update today — track now on Twitter, Walmart, GameStop and more

Get ready for another PS5 restock. Sony Direct is planning a second invite-only PS5 restock this afternoon. It's expected they'll offer a PS5 drop for the general public immediately after their invite-only event — just as they did earlier in the week.

So we're here to help you secure PS5 stock when inventory does return. We're tracking rumored PS5 restocks on Twitter and keeping an eye out for surprise PS5 drops. We've also pulled together a handy list of the top U.S. retailers that sell the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition. Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often for the latest updates on all things PS5 as we track restocks in real-time. 

Where to buy PS5: Check PS5 restock now

As of April 15 at 9:35 a.m. ET, there is no PS5 restock available. Sony Direct has confirmed it will have a second invite-only PS5 restock this afternoon. It's expected the retailer will have additional PS5 consoles for the general public after their invite-only restock ends. To help with your PS5 search, below you'll find our PS5 restock tracker along with links on where to buy the PS5. 

PS5: $499 @ AmazonCheck stock: The flagship PS5 console includes a 4K UDH Blu-ray disc drive. As a result, the design is slightly fuller than the all-digital model. It sells for $499 and includes a PS5 DualSense controller.View Deal

PS5 Digital Edition: $399 @ AmazonCheck stock: The PS5 Digital console lacks a 4K UDH Blu-ray disc drive. As a result, it's slightly thinner than its counterpart. It sells for $399 ($100 less) and includes a PS5 DualSense controller.View Deal

PS5 restock tracker — retailer linksAmazon PS5 restock date 

No one knows when Amazon will release its PS5 consoles for sale — or if it even has any. However, it's been quite some time since their last PS5 restock. One thing to keep in mind — Amazon restocks tend to sell out in seconds. So you'll want to try this Amazon trick to increase your chances of getting a console.

Best Buy PS5 restock date 

Best Buy has been dropping PS5 inventory every Friday for the six week. Best Buy doesn't give any notice, the PS5 just magically appears in-stock. Best Buy's drops always occur on Friday afternoons and they always offer the consoles at list price: $499 for the PS5 and $399 for the PS5 Digital. Last week, however, Best Buy's 6-week streak came to a halt. The retailer had no PS5 restock, so this week we predict they'll be back on their game come Friday. 

Target PS5 restock date

Target PS5 restock dates have been hard to nail down. That's because the retailer tends to drop inventory in certain regions. For instance, someone in Chicago could see PS5 inventory at their local store, whereas a New Yorker might not see any inventory whatsoever. In addition, Target tends to do early morning restocks that occur around 8 a.m. ET. That said, their last restock sold out in minutes. 

One of the best ways to find out when PS5 restock hits online retailers is by following the Sony Twitter account. We also recommend following Twitter accounts such as @PS5StockAlerts, @GYXdeals, @mattswider, @PS5Drop and @Wario64, which are often first to have the latest updates on availability. 

Keep in mind that PS5 restock availability can also be regional and limited to select stores. Either way, make sure to keep this page bookmarked and to check the retailer listings regularly.

How to buy PS5: Essential tips 

Multiple sources have reported an Amazon trick that improves your chances of scoring a PS5. We tested this trick four times and each time we succeeded in getting a next-gen console into our cart. (We tested it with an Xbox Series X, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work with a PS5). Other PS5 retailer tips to follow include: 

Get prepared: Make sure you have all the right payment card details and two-factor authentication available and to hand when you find a PS5 ready to buy. Units can go so fast that if you’re fiddling around trying to find your credit card you could miss your chance to secure a PS5 order.

Select a retailer: As you can see from our list above, there are plenty of retailers to choose from, which can actually make the whole process of buying a PS5 a bit complicated. We suggest you select a couple of major retailers like Walmart and Amazon, and keep an eye on their PS5 landing pages.

Sign up for stock alerts: Plenty of retailers offer to alert you to when they have PS5 restock. We suggest you sign up to those services for the retailers that are offering them.

Find the right product page: It might sound obvious, but make sure you’re on the actual buying page for the PS5 or the PS5 Digital Edition. If you’re on a landing page, you might end up missing the moment new stock arrives.

Sign in to retailers: Make sure you sign in to any retailers you might already have an account with. This will make things a lot faster when buying a PS5 if you spot one on sale. And speed is of the essence today.

Keep refreshing and don't give up: It can be a little demoralizing trying to find PS5 restock when everywhere looks sold out. But regularly refresh product pages to see what pops up; you might get lucky. And also keep checking back here for any PS5 stock updates. 

You can also make it a habit of checking Slickdeals, the online collection of deals that run the gamut from household appliances to gaming consoles like the PS5. The website has a few specific forum threads for everything PS5 that users continue to update. If you follow the thread, head to the last page and keep refreshing to keep up with all the latest news.

It's also a good idea to check a few of the subscription-based wholesaler retailers like Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale Club, and Costco. You do need a paid membership to shop at these retailers, but that means reduced competition to snag a unit there. You may need to pay extra for a bundle, but it's worth checking out these locations either way. Currently, there are no online listings for these retailers to check, but it may be worth heading to each brick-and-mortar store to try your luck at this point. 

It's been a fairly difficult process during this console generation to lock in any sort of next-gen purchase. But as we near the holidays, it's highly likely there will be additional PS5s available for purchase at some point as Sony catches up with those looking to buy PS5s.

PS5 restocks: Accounts to follow

PS5 restock — price and discounts

The PS5 with disc costs $499, whereas the PS5 Digital Edition costs $399. Unfortunately, it's gonna be a long time before we see any discounts on the consoles. However, we have noted some sales on PS5 accessories. Make sure to follow our PS5 deals coverage for deals on everything related to the PS5. 

Where to buy PS5: Avoid the PS5 scalpers

Unfortunately, one of the main reasons for the shortage of PS5 consoles is due to scalpers. These opportunistic people have been using bots to scan retailers for PS5 stock when it becomes available and buy as many of the consoles as they can in one go. 

Once they have the highly-desirable console, they will then sell them for extortionate prices, often for thousands of dollars. Business Insider reported one reseller managed to get hold of 200 PS5 consoles and managed to sell them for more than $40,000. 

While this isn’t illegal, it’s not exactly the most morally sound thing to do. But at least it’s not as bad as some people who’ve been pretending to sell PS5 consoles on eBay by simply posting photos of the console and scamming people to bid for them when there was no PS5 on offer.  

It might seem absurd to buy a PS5 for over $1,000, especially as its launch game lineup isn’t particularly profound. But with the coronavirus pandemic seeing more people staying at home, some PlayStation fans are clearly desperate to get their hands on a new console to keep them entertained. 

We advise you avoid buying from such resellers, fake or otherwise. At $499 the PS5 is still quite an expensive console and it currently doesn't have a huge library of games. So if you can wait until later this year, you’re likely to have a lot more PS5 games to choose from and Sony should have more consoles available.
