Update: The console is currently sold out at Best Buy. For information on the next restock, see PS5 Restock Info. Also, see our Black Friday deals for the best deals of the season.
Best Buy PS5 Restock! The electronics retailer is preparing a restock of PS5 for the general public. (Totaltech membership not required). the PS5 is $499 and the PS5 Digital is $399.
Today's restock will take place minutes before the first Sony Direct PS5 restock in November. The Sony restock is by invitation only, but may be open to the public if consoles are available.
To be fair, Best Buy is not the only retailer to offer PS5 restocking exclusively to members of its Premium Reward Program, but the drop-off is very severe for Total Tech subscriptions GameStop, through its PowerUp Reward Pro membership, is also offering the PS5 restocking to its members. which gives you early access to restocks of next-generation game consoles for just $15 per year.
Amazon is also attempting to give Prime members priority access to PS5 restocks, but at a reasonable $12.99 per month for Prime members. In addition, Prime membership comes with a number of benefits, including access to the popular streaming services Prime Video and Prime Music, making it worthwhile to become a Prime member even before the PS5 restocking offer was introduced.
As with most retailers, setting up a Best Buy account in advance is a top priority. Make sure your payment details, address, and other information are saved in advance, saving you valuable time at checkout.
Previously, Best Buy's PS5 restocking required refreshing the product page until the yellow "Add to Cart" button or gray "Please Wait" button appeared. However, Best Buy's new process puts you on a waiting list. A pop-up window will appear with a "Confirm Account" and a confirmation of inventory. You will therefore need to sign in to your account immediately.
If you find that the PS5 is not in stock, try accessing it again through the incognito window of your browser. Repeat this process until you can (hopefully) get the console.
