TL; DR: Amazon is expected to offer a huge drop in PS5 shares in the near future, giving gamers their best chance of securing a next-generation PlayStation console. If you’re part of the majority who still need to pack another PS5, keep an eye on Amazon’s product page for the coming hours and days.
Sony’s PS5 may have broken launch records, but its release was damaged by scalpers who quickly bought up stock to sell at high prices. While I was one of the lucky ones who was able to buy a PS5 on launch day, I know numerous friends and colleagues who have tried time and time again, without any luck.
The good news today is that according to the series of PS5 stock sources, Amazon is getting ready for a big stock in the near future. Tom’s Guide has gathered the information, suggesting that Amazon could offer around 46,000 PS5s in the coming days – or hours.
This may be the best chance that players have been able to pick up a PS5 since its launch.
If you want to pack a PS5 yourself, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the stock drop. First, if you are not already doing so, make sure you have an Amazon account.
Then check to see if your credit card and delivery details are up to date – the last thing you want to do in the midst of the stock reduction frenzy is search for a credit card number, or have your PS5 shipped to an old address.
Lastly, if you add the PS5 to your Amazon wishlist, you can add the console to your cart from there, instead of via Amazon’s PS5 product page (which will be overwhelmed with the onset of traffic). This is a useful trick that helped me pack a PS5 last year, when the console was launched in the UK.
All we can say is congratulations – for those who want to order a PS5, we greet you.
