Mid-Saturday update: PS5 stock for Saturday has not yet taken place, and this is due to the fact that it is extremely rare this weekend. The good news is that we have a brand new way to track PS5 shares on Twitter. Many American buyers were successful.

All weekend, we’ve been watching the PS5 follow-up of 12 different major retailers in the US. We may only see new stock on Monday or Tuesday, but you’re following us on Twitter. Earlier this week, we dropped PS5 four times: Amazon on Tuesday, Sony Direct on Wednesday, Antonline and Best Buy both on Friday.
Tip 1: Follow us for our PS5 updates on Twitter above. You will receive notifications about where you are going to buy it next. We intend to tweet about new shares the first moment it is available for purchase. See it really works:
It makes me happy. I saw similar answers all night. The rest of you also get the PS5 stock, and I’m glad I played a small role. ❤️💪🏻 https://t.co/TtalBIhv1S20 February 2021
Tip 2: Tell us if you’ve achieved success via Twitter. It helps people to know what works and what does not.
We look at PS5 stock at every major US retailer, including Sony Direct, GameStop, Walmart, Target and Best Best. There are 12 different stores we follow so you can get the PS5 on its normal MSRP.
GameStop is important because it sells PS5 bundles. It remains that all the traders who are trying to make a profit have to sell easily salable games at the full price. This is a much harder selling opportunity for them – and an advantage for the real gamers.
Some basic rules for Sony Direct: Remember, when the PS5 re-stock takes place in the US, it sends you into a virtual queue and randomly selects people to buy the popular video game. You can not get one.
As we always warn, this means that you will not get the console in stock if you go in the Sony Direct drive. Most people will see “more than an hour wait” from the estimated wait time. This is what the message reads to us. For others, they will see a few minutes of rope.
According to Sony, there are more rules:
- First, you need an active PSN account to complete the purchase.
- Secondly, you have ten minutes to buy the PS5.
- Third: “PS5 consoles are available now, but are not guaranteed, even if you are standing in line,” according to Sony.a
Trust us, it’s serious to buy the PS5 within ten minutes. Make sure you have all your information ready to buy PS5.
