Want to buy a PS5 but can’t find it in stock? You’re not alone. The PS5 is the fastest-selling console in US history, and demand is far outstripping supply. The Sony PlayStation 5 has been popping in and out of availability over the past few weeks, with much of the activity being on Sony’s own PlayStation Direct site. However, those opportunities have been limited to people who were extended exclusive email invites. The PS5 has also sporadically appeared at some retailers: GameStop, for instance, had a restock earlier this week. Unfortunately, as right now, no major retailers have Sony’s console in stock. Even so, there are ways to improve your prospects of snagging the fastest-selling console in US history. We’re guessing you’re probably already thoroughly enmeshed in the cottage industry of Twitter feeds that track PS5 (and Xbox) availability in real time. That’s good, but it’s only a start — even advance notice isn’t enough when new inventory sells out nearly immediately. Check out our pointers below on how to buy a PS5 now. We also offer easy shortcuts to the product pages for the PS5 at major retailers, including Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Target and GameStop, as well as resellers like eBay and StockX if you want to pay a premium to get one sooner (more on that below).
