The Sony PlayStation 5 continues to jump out of his supply hole every few days and shows his curious face on Best Buy or GameStop or sometimes Sony. And then, inevitably, it’s over in minutes, leaving more frustrated masses behind. If you’re still hoping to bring home a PS5, the song stays the same: be patient and keep looking for new stock.
On the other hand, if you can not wait another minute, your only option is to post obscene comments on sites such as eBay and StockX. On eBay, for example, we’ve seen the PS5 cost well over $ 1,000. The console was otherwise virtually impossible to find, with at least one person waiting 36 hours in line to get one at a California GameStop.

Nowadays, Twitter is a popular source for reporting on stock news, though we see less high-profile declines. Instead, retailers seem to be switching to a policy of smaller, more frequent declines that sells quickly and without much online fanfare.
The PS5 is available in two versions: there is a $ 500 model with a Blu-ray drive and an otherwise identical $ 400 digital version without a disc slot. At this point, people are happy to get their hands on one, but if you do not have a library of optical discs – for Blu-ray movies, used games or old PS4 games – CNET recommends that you goes with the $ 400 version.
In any case, it will be easy to find a PS5. But I’ll keep an eye on the stock again, and will update this article if it looks like you might be able to get a PS5 for you.

OK, you have exhausted all the online and brick merchants, and you have decided that you are willing to pay a $ 300 surcharge to get this puppy soon. As your friends, we need to tell you: Do not do it. But if you do not want to listen to us, you can visit StockX, an alternative on eBay that made its name in the secondary market for sneakers and designer clothes. The last time we checked it, the prices of the PS5 dropped just under $ 700.
If you have decided that you simply can not wait another moment for Sony to come together and flood the market with stock, eBay is a shortcut to getting your own PS5 right now. Let me repeat this though: no PS5 is worth spending hundreds more than the price, and that’s exactly what you need to do when buying from an eBay retailer. The average PS5 price on eBay is around $ 900.
