As the holidays approach, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals come to a close, PlayStation 5 consoles remain out of stock at most major retailers. While places like Walmart have periodically gotten stock, many fans are still waiting for the opportunity to buy a PlayStation 5. However, news of these restocks is currently hard to come by, and sometimes happens so fast that gamers waiting in a virtual line miss the word of available console altogether. Places like Best Buy have been difficult to get restock information on, and many want to know if there will be consoles in time for the holiday season.

Best Buy had restocks just before Black Friday, but has been lacking in details since then on when potential restocks might happen. Some gamers who have kept a close eye on the listings for PS5 consoles on the Best Buy website have been able to snatch open-box deals that have appeared, but just like new consoles, these returned PS5s are few and far between, not offering gamers a reliable way to potentially grab a console for a holiday gift. Both the PS5 Digital and Standard console editions are currently out of stock, with no open-box options available on the Best Buy website as of today.

While some retail stores have promised PS5 restocks before 2021, Best Buy has confirmed that there will be no available PS5 consoles available for in-store shopping before the end of the month. However, there is still a chance that consoles may be available to purchase online, so it will be important for gamers still trying to get a PlayStation 5 to keep a close eye on the website for a chance to snatch one if they do come into stock before January, or if any open-box options pop-up before restocks can happen.

PlayStation 5 Consoles Might Be Available Online Before January

While this news, and the overall lack of PS5 restocks across major retailer stores might be frustrating for gamers still searching to find a PS5, it is important to remember that buying a PlayStation 5 from scalpers is not a good option. Waiting for open-box consoles from Best Buy, or for proper restocks of new PS5s at major retail stores or direct from Sony, is a much safer option. Buying from scalpers would mean paying an inflated price, as well as the potential of not getting what was purchased. Buying a PS5 console from scalpers offers gamers no protections or warranty for their purchase. It might be tempting to jump the line and pay a larger sum to have a PS5 now, but waiting for legitimate retail restock news is the better option.

While players are hoping that they might be able to purchase a console before the holidays are over, currently restock information seems to filter in on a day-to-day basis. The best way for players to keep up on where there might be PS5 consoles, is to check websites like Best Buy's regularly. This will allow players the chance to spot potential open-box consoles that are safe and certified by the major retailer. However for most of the fans still waiting, a PlayStation 5 console may not be under the tree this year, as the PS5 shortage continues to drag on through the holiday season.
