Sony’s PlayStation 5 is still one of the most popular consoles on the market, but gamers are finding it difficult amid the huge demand.
Twitter accounts have been created dedicated to monitoring PlayStation 5 availability. Although they sometimes share unfounded rumors, it also provides useful information when recharging consoles in stores and online.
Here are the latest from some of the major retailers.
Purpose PS5 reload
PS5s were not in stock on Target’s website in early January 9, but accessories such as the DualSense Wireless Controller were on sale. This is a recent pattern for the trader.
Several Twitter accounts are monitoring Target for updates on PS5 inventory, including Target Restock Alerts and YtNextGenGaming. There were also no PS5s reported to Target on Friday.
Walmart PS5 reload
Walmart’s website was no longer in stock for PS5s early Saturday. Attempting to purchase one of the versions of the console returned an error page with the message: “Oops! This item is not available or is on a new order.”
However, other articles related to the PS5, including the DualSense Wireless Controller and Media Remote, were on sale. It is noteworthy that the DualSense charging station was also not in stock.
Best Buy PS5 Reload
Best Buy is offering a few different PS5 bundles, but they were sold out of consoles on Saturday morning. If they have stock, customers need to order online to pick up the house. The consoles cannot be purchased in the store.
Amazon PS5 reload
The PlayStation 5 was not available on Amazon early Saturday, and no indication of when the consoles would be replenished. Amazon’s website notes: “We do not know when and if it will be back in stock.”
@CoolDealCA is a Twitter account that provides regular updates on the products available on Amazon, including PS5s and console accessories, such as controllers.
eBay PS5 Reload
PS5s are still available for purchase on eBay. This has been the case for some time now as those who were lucky enough to pick up consoles are trying to sell it at a profit.
Prices are significantly higher than the main street retailers, but some eBay sellers are currently asking up to $ 1,100. Online Inventory Tracking NowInStock.net notes that eBay is currently the only place you can find the console.
When will the PS5 reload?
Sony is expected to ship 18 million PlayStation 5 consoles in 2021, according to a report by Digitimes. This is five times the number released in the first month of sales. About 10 million are on the market by March this year, which would give future players some hope.
