PS5 Restock Tracker Latest Update: Check Stock Ahead Of Black Friday

The more I wait the less interested I become, for the next two three years the ps5 will be playing ps4 games so there no legit rush besides saying “I got it” this always happen with PlayStation, my cousin the 5 and it’s really no biggie, yes I want it but it’s a want not a need you have a ps4 your still good just wait to it dies down, it’s a game the retailers are playing.

Why can’t people be strong and not buy it? If the demand goes down scalpers will have to lower their prices and not bother buying it all up...

@dervrak: I can understand your frustration and see where you're coming from, but I see nothing but trouble for Amazon if they tried to play it that way.

You know people would be calling in nonstop going off on the customer service reps. "When are they coming in?!?!" "Why is it taking so long?!?!" "So and so got restocked, why haven't you?!?!"

I see no benefit for Amazon to bring that kind of heat down on themselves. It's not like they are desperate for revenue.

@dervrak: same, it's so irritating isnt it? I've given up at this point. However I've know idea when itll be possible to simply go on Amazon and successfully buy a unit with them being in stock? Despite hearing scalpers are stick with huge stocks that arent moving, they are stiop swiping up every single system around?!

If indeed GS supports the gamers and the gaming community and is trying to help people get their hands on a PS5 and/or XBoxX, then GS should not be accepting money to help promote StockX and the scalper community. It's that simple. Take them off the list, purge the site of any reference to them, stop helping them screw up everyone's good time and stop helping promote their abuse of the gaming community.

Don't know why you're all so desperate to get one so immediately

" SCALPERS ARE MAKING BALANCE IN OUR GALAXY , , ,

I live in China and I paid a lot for my PS5 on a Chinese website because of the tariff issues. Yes, I paid well more than double the cost, but that was the only way I was going to get one, and I'm fortunate that the cost isn't an issue.

But I was thinking: Sony should have allowed Playstation plus subscribers to have a *reserved* shot at a console. Same with Microsoft. Now, I own stock in both of those companies, and they are selling consoles as fast as they can make them, so maybe that's just capitalism at work.

Another thing is the virus has disrupted supply chains and airline travel. Many of these products are made here in China. Often, freight is shipped on domestic air travel (it is piggybacked on domestic airlines). Guess what? There are hardly any flights out of China right now. The ones that are are often cancelled with the new strains of the virus and the failure of Western countries to contain it.

So all of this is unsurprising.

"haha, made ya look/click"

yes please advertise the one place people all have same chance of getting ps5

It's sort of embarrassing that these companies can't run a draw for these systems like they do with sneakers... give everyone a shot smh

I live in Germany and I already gave up trying to get a PS5, mostly because of scalpers.

And that's not mainly their fault, they're just trying to make money on idiots like you, who purchase from them. No one should buy PS5 on ebay or other similar channels, even when they reduce the price. It would be really beautiful to see all of them dying with their 50 PS5 stuck in their garage.

Whew... after 10 frantic minutes of mashing the checkout button on Best Buy’s website on both my desktop and mobile app, I was finally able to get a PS5 with that last drop!

Slimy ol' GameStop artificially inflating their revenue off sales of these units with unnecessary add-ons. I don't mind a single game being thrown in and paying a little extra, but an additional controller above the single one that comes w/ the base package, 2 games and a freakin' $20 GameStop gift card??? F off. I'll wait until for the $500 base package is available for me to walk in to a retailer and buy one on the spot. As many have already pointed out:

1) There's nothing THAT GOOD that's out right now I NEED to play

2) The games that are out now to play will likely be cheaper by the time I'm able to get my hands on a PS5

3) F#*K SCALPERS!!!

There is still no game out that makes we want to go out of my way to get one. it is the same with RTX games - nothing has done t for me.

eBay is having the best year of their life right now.

There aren't going to be consoles for a very long time. I highly suspect that all these new consoles(and graphics cards) were released fully knowing they couldn't produce anywhere remotely close to the quantities needed at release. I think an alternative reason this tech being released in such small batches is because nobody could hit the production price point they wanted, but nobody wanted the optics of being behind technologically.

There is a wafer shortage, but when companies like ASUS have to announce that they couldn't hit price points on their GPUs without a 50% price hike in some cases, you have to question whether these $500 4k consoles and $700 3080s are just a game of price chicken with competitors. I would certainly bet money that all these companies are heavily staggering stock until they can finally get price down and yields up enough to make it economically viable to produce enough.

Or I could be wrong and it could just be parts shortage. In which case, good luck getting ANYTHING this year, because on top of a wafer shortage, this year we can look forward to a DRAM shortage due to huge production cuts this year! Hooray progress!
