Multiple sources have reported an Amazon stunt that improves your chances of scoring a PS5. We tested this stunt four times and each time we succeeded in getting a next-gen console into our truck. (We tested it with a Xbox Series X, however, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work with a PS5). Other Play Station 5 retailer tips to follow include:
Get prepared: Make sure you have all the right payments with your card details and two-factor authentication available and to hand when you find a Play Station 5 ready to buy.

However, we have noted some sales on Play Station 5 accessories. Make sure to follow our Play Station 5 deals coverage for deals on everything related to the PS5.
Where to buy PS5: Avoid the PS5 scalpers
Unfortunately, one of the primary reasons for the shortage of PS5 consoles is due to scalpers. These pioneering people have been utilizing bots to examine retailers for PS5 stock when it becomes available and buy as a considerable lot of the consoles as they can in one go.
Once they have the exceptionally desirable console, they will then sell them at extortionate costs, often for a great many dollars. Business Insider reported one reseller managed to get hold of 200 PS5 consoles and managed to sell them for more than $40,000.
While this isn’t illegal, it’s not exactly the most ethically strong thing to do. Yet, essentially it’s not quite so terrible as some people who’ve been pretending to sell PS5 consoles on eBay by just posting photographs of the console and defrauding people to offer for them when there was no PS5 on offer.
It may seem silly to buy a PS5 for over $1,000, especially as its dispatch game lineup isn’t especially significant. Be that as it may, with the Covid pandemic seeing more people remaining at home, some PlayStation fans are clearly desperate to get their hands on a new console to keep them entertained.
We advise you to try not to buy from such resellers, fake or otherwise. At $499 the PS5 is still quite an expensive console and it currently doesn’t have a huge library of games. So if you can delay until in the not so distant future, you’re likely to have significantly more PS5 games to choose from and Sony ought to have more consoles available.
