It’ll look like:

While the deals aren’t live yet and there’s no given time, the PS5 bundles page and the Xbox Series X and S bundles page are both placeholders where the restock might appear.
We’ve seen limited PS5 restock this week, and almost no Xbox Series X restock, with gamers frustrated that the hard-to-find consoles are selling out with minutes of new inventory making its way to online retail sites.
GameStop restock bundles are your best move
Today’s GameStop restock is comes in bundle form, which does drive up the price of each console. The normal MSRP is $299 for the Xbox Series S, $399 for the PS5 Digital Edition, and $499 for the PS5 Disc Edition and Xbox Series X. You’re also forced to pay for games, controllers and gift cards in some instances.
There’s good news about this GameStop PS5 and Xbox restock, however. Because scalpers have a hard time reselling games and accessories (all readily available) at a profit, they tend to stay in stock much longer.

PS5 has been nearly impossible to find in stock for more than a few minutes every time stores restock the Sony console. We’re finding the same can be said about the Xbox Series X. Both Sony and Microsoft launches their respective consoles in November 2020 and haven’t been able to manufacturer enough to meet demand.
Stores like Target, Walmart and Best Buy routinely add new stock to their stores and the crush of people coming to their sites often crashes the pages. Four months after the initial launches, it’s still a burden to buy a next-gen console, even after months of customers constantly trying their luck.
