PlayStation 5 consoles are still very hard to come by in the US, with all the big retailers out of stock for days on end, and some gamers endlessly refreshing stores like Amazon, Target and Walmart awaiting the release of more consoles.
Although the PS5 is out of stock in most major entertainment stores, numerous Twitter accounts have set up automatic updates so subscribers know exactly when and where new stock will be available as soon as it comes out.
Purpose PS5 reload
Target is currently out of stock at the time of writing, but there may be hope for players trying to grab a PS5 from there in the coming weeks. A December 31 tweet from the YtNextGenGaming account, which previously revealed when the console was in stock, said: ‘Many target stores have gotten stock. From my sources, there will be a decline in the next two weeks. Look for it to drop from Sunday to Tuesday. ‘

On the morning of January 1, the PS5 may not have been back in stock, but a number of accessories were available for a while, with the DualSense charging station and the Media Remote in stock.

Walmart also does not currently have any consoles in the US, and the console does not even appear in the US store, although they do currently sell controllers for the console.
Amazon PS5 reload
Amazon did have a few PS5s in the early hours of January 1st, but at the time of writing, it was out of stock again, with the website: “We do not know when or if this item will be back in stock . “
One Twitter account worth checking out for PS5 updates is a @CoolDealCA account, which performs a regular update that tweets when stocks of PS5s and other game consoles such as the Nintendo Switch become available.
Best Buy PS5 Reload
Best Buy offers customers several bundles with which they can buy a console with different accessories and games. At the time of writing, however, all of these things were sold out.
Ebay PS5 reload
Currently, according to stock tracker NowInStock.net, Ebay is the only way to get a PS5 in early 2021. However, the purchase at Ebay comes with its own problems, with prices that are very high and the chance of it being cheated.
Prices for PS5s on Ebay from ‘buy it now’ sellers are currently ranging from $ 750 to a whopping $ 40,000, with the average price over the past 90 days at $ 799.99.
When will the PS5 reload?
Digitimes reported that up to 18 million more units would flow in 2021, about five times more than were released from sale within the first month.
Originally, the plan was to ship up to 6 million units between the release and March 2021, but according to GamesRadar, it was increased to a planned 10 million.
