If you’re searching where to buy PS5, Sony Direct has PS5 consoles in stock, but they might sell out quick, so get in the queue now. Previous queues lasted anywhere from ten minutes to an hour, so stay in it until it closes to get your best chance at a console.

Sony Direct PS5 restocks are only live for a short period but there’s good news: they often appear to be opening up the purchase queues every weekday, so check back in routinely to see if they’re back in stock.
A few weeks ago we saw such a situation happening and it appears Sony has a few hundred consoles available for purchase.
If you didn’t make it through today at Sony Direct, check Target tomorrow morning – word is the PS5 restock is happening there too.
How to prepare for a Sony Direct PS5 stock drop
If, at a later date, you are make it into the queue, make sure that you keep your browser sound on to hear the chime if you get to the front of the queue – it appears places are randomly assigned and sadly there’s no way to know if you’re going to be able to grab stock – as Sony says, just getting in the queue is no guarantee of snagging a console.
Also remember to make sure you’ve got a PSN account with Sony, and fill it with payment and shipping details to make your life a little bit easier and make it through. You’ll only have 10 minutes when the chime goes, so act quickly.
