The PlayStation 5 was launched on Nov. 12 of last year, but it's no secret that the available inventory sold out more or less immediately. The console is theoretically available in two variations: a $500 model with Blu-ray and a less expensive $400 digital-only model that lacks an optical drive. Both configurations occasionally appear in limited quantities at retailers like Walmart and Best Buy, but they tend to sell out quickly. For the latest updates on when retailers might have inventory and offer it for sale online, be sure to check back here frequently.
You can monitor where the PS5 is available on your own; Twitter, for example, is a good source of restock rumors. But we occasionally get word directly from retailers and tipsters about upcoming inventory restocks, and we update this post immediately. Be aware: It will likely be months before anything approximating normal inventory levels appears in stores, so getting your own PS5 is likely to be a challenge until summer, at a minimum. Below you'll find a list of all the major retailers (and a few high-profile resellers) where you can monitor stock and availability.

We don't recommend spending more than retail to get a PS5, but if you must have a console right now, eBay is your shortcut to getting a console. That said, expect to pay hundreds over list; the average PS5 price on eBay is about $800.
If you've exhausted all of the usual retail options and you're willing to pay hundreds over list price, 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 just north of $700. We don't think it's worth it, but let your conscience (and your wallet) be your guide).
