It's a new year, and gamers everywhere are hoping that'll mean a better shot at getting a PS5. 2020 wasn't kind to gamers; since the console's release on Nov. 12, it has been sold out everywhere. Right now the only consoles you can buy are marked up to obscene levels at reseller sites like eBay and StockX, often multiple times their retail value of $400 or $500 (depending upon which model you want). The console has been otherwise virtually impossible to find, with at least one person waiting in line for 36 hours to snag one at a California GameStop.
Twitter remains a resource for many gamers to check on restock news, but it's hard to tell how credible the news there is. Recently, for example, unaffiliated Twitter account @YtNextGenGaming posted that new inventory would be dropping at retailers like Best Buy, Costco, Target, Newegg and Walmart. That kind of prediction is sort of like a psychic prediction -- it's bound to be right eventually. We'll be keeping an eye out for restocks, though, and will update this article when it looks like you might be able to score a PS5.

The PS5 is available in two versions: a $500 model with Blu-ray, and an otherwise identical $400 digital-only version without a disc slot. At this point, people are happy to get their hands on either one, but if you don't have a library of optical discs -- for Blu-ray movies, used games or old PS4 games -- we recommend you go with the $400 version.

OK, you've exhausted all of the online and brick-and-mortar retailers, and you've decided you're willing to pay upward of a $300 markup to get this puppy by Christmas. As your friends, we have to tell you: Don't do it. But if you don't want to listen to us, you might want to check out StockX, an eBay alternative that made its name in the secondary market for sneakers and designer clothing. Last time we checked, prices for the PS5 were hovering around $700.
