If you’re wondering where to buy PS5 you’re certainly not alone. The first PS5 stock dropped at midnight, with GameStop offering up bundles and standalone consoles while stock lasted. In the last couple of hours that inventory seems to have dried up, but there’s still a whole day to play with so we’re showing you exactly where to buy PS5 on this fine release day.
Sony itself has just run out of PS5 stock, so we’re looking to Best Buy and Amazon for more early moves in the race to buy PS5 this morning. However, we’re more likely to see returning stock from GameStop before the sun rises so we’d keep that refresh button to hand.
With concerns mounting over availability on the PS5 release date, many are still unsure of where to buy PS5, and how much stock will be up for grabs. We’re expecting more chances to buy PS5 at Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon later on today so keep this page bookmarked for all the latest updates.
So, if you missed out on early stock and still need to know where to buy PS5 right on the release date, keep checking the retailers below. We’ll be bringing you all the latest stock updates as they come in so keep checking back if you’re looking to buy PS5 today.
PS5 Launch Day bundle: $799.99 at GameStop
This PS5 Launch Day bundle is out of stock right now, but it’s been the most reliable place to buy PS5 so far this morning. We were seeing more stock becoming available every now and then earlier today, so keep checking back if you run out of more options further down the page. You’re getting the console, two controllers, NBA 2K21, Spider-Man Miles Morales and a PS Plus subscription available for a higher cost than the usual PS5 price. That price does work out to the value of your cash, however.

PS5 Digital Launch Day Bundle: $749.99 at GameStop
PS5 Digital Edition stock is also out, but you might be able to snap up the Digital Launch Day bundle if you land at the right time (or keep refreshing until you do). We were seeing this bundle flashing in and out but that seems to have slowed – still, you never know when more stock will arrive. You’re picking up a load of PS Store credit here, with a PS Plus subscription, extra controller, a PS5 media remote and HD camera as well.

PS5 DualSense controller: $69.99 at Amazon
Amazon has the PS5 DualSense controller in stock for $69.99 right now – but we don’t know how long this inventory will last as the day goes on so we’d place your order sooner rather than later.
You’ll also find the PS5 controller in stock at Best Buy for the same price right now as well.

PS5 Pulse 3D headset: $99.99 at GameStop
It’s been pretty difficult to buy the PS5 Pulse 3D headset so far, but GameStop has had stock on the shelves for the regular $99.99 price earlier this morning. It’s now out of stock, but keep checking back and stay tuned for updates from Amazon and Best Buy as well.

Where to buy PS5: which retailers will have stock?
There isn’t an official list of retailers that have PS5 in stock, with Sony staying silent and leaving it up to US stores. However, a recent statement announced that you won’t be able to buy PS5 in brick and mortar stores, with launch stock only being available online.
Luckily, we’re well versed in scouring the web for goodies and you’ll find all the retailers we expect might have stock just below. These retailers were all offering PS5 pre-orders all those weeks ago, making them good bets for new stock at launch and are also large enough to potentially offer up a decent amount of consoles on the shelves.
Amazon
Amazon had a split second of stock when the PS5 first launched its pre-orders, but continued to roll out more units throughout the days that followed. That means this is one you’ll want to keep an eye on throughout the release window – plus you can grab fast, free delivery if you’re a Prime member as well.

Best Buy
Best Buy had a solid PS5 stock level compared to other retailers last time these consoles were available to order. That means we’re optimistic for a relatively large inventory here. Over the Xbox launch earlier this week, Best Buy was discounting controllers with the purchase of a console so we might even see discounts on Sony’s side today as well.

Newegg
Newegg announced earlier that it would have PS5 stock ready to buy at launch today, however it will be on back-order. We saw a brief flash of stock that quickly ran out in under a minute at midnight, so stay tuned for more updates.
View Deal
GameStop
GameStop was the first retailer offering the chance to buy PS5 at launch today. While the individual consoles sold out pretty quickly, we saw higher value bundles lasting a little longer. These offers do exceed the usual PS5 price, but you’re getting your money’s worth in accessories and games so it’s a good bet if you’re looking to go all out on day one.

Walmart
Walmart is the only retailer to officially announce when its PS5 stock will go live. You’ll be able to buy PS5 at 12.00, 3.00, 6.00 and 9.00 p.m. EST later today.

Where to buy PS5 in Australia
The world’s largest retailer is in a similar boat as it was during the earlier round of pre-orders – it’s already stopped taking pre-orders, and did so shortly after they went live. They may have more pre-order stock available but it won’t be launch day stock, if you’re lucky you’ll get it before the end of the year.View Deal
Although The Gamesmen (Aussie independent games retailer) announced on Twitter that it’ll have pre-order stock at 10am, the site currently appears to be down. Keep checking back in to see if you can get your hands on something.
As with most places, even Sony itself is out of stock currently. It’s just as good an option as other retailers in terms of price (full RRP) and free shipping, but you’ll need ot keep checking back in for when they get more stock.
JB Hi-Fi Australia – one of the country’s largest tech retail outlets – is in the same boat as many, with pre-order stock (even for the December shipment) currently out of stock. With that said, stock seems to fluctuate regularly, so keep checking in to see if you can score a console.
While EB Games was one of the first retailers to sell out, they also offered 2021 pre-orders of the console for quite a while, but even those appear to be currently out of stock. Yet again, this doesn’t mean there won’t be any more chances today to score a pre-order, so keep checking in with them to try your chances.
When will you be able to buy PS5?
We saw PS5 stock live at midnight, and refreshes have been (sparsely) rolling out through the early hours.
We’d recommend you keep checking in throughout the day. Stock may roll in during the early hours of the morning, but with Walmart announcing that you’ll be able to buy PS5 at 12.00, 3.00, 6.00 and 9.00 p.m. EST we’d be paying particularly close attention around these times – and between 8 and 9am.
Of course, anything could happen and there’s been no other information on when other retailers will open their doors, so you’ll need to stay on your toes if you’re looking to buy PS5 today.
Can you buy PS5 in store?
Ahead of launch, Sony announced that you won’t be able to buy PS5 in stores at release. That means you’ll want to head online to buy PS5 today, so keep your eyes peeled for the latest stock updates above.
The move comes after stock shortages saw the PS5 pre-order window falling flat after just a few short hours. That, combined with efforts to minimise footfall in brick and mortar stores during the global pandemic has pushed the PS5 launch online this year.
Don’t worry though, we’re well versed in scouring the web for breaking stock, so we’ll be showing you exactly where to buy PS5 as more stock becomes available online throughout the day. Plus, you can still collect via curbside pickup at certain retailers.
How to buy PS5 when stock lands
When PS5 stock does arrive, how do you make sure it’s yours? If you’re well positioned you can make the most of that first opportunity to buy PS5 and leap ahead of the crowds, but of course that’s easier said than done. There are some things you can do beforehand, however, to make sure you’re not left wondering where to buy PS5 at the end of the day.
1. Find your retailers
Use the list above to keep checking your retailers alongside our constant stock updates to make sure you’re always clued in on where to buy PS5 at any given moment. We’d recommend prioritising larger retailers as they’re the most likely to offer up more PS5 stock and are also already set up for fast shipping as well.
2. Prepare your wallet
We’re sure you’ve already prepared to spend some cash today, but having your details at the ready will save you valuable time when that first wave of stock hits. Better yet, if you’re comfortable saving your payment details or using PayPal you’re in for a much less stressful experience.
3. Sign in
If you already have an account with select retailers, be sure to sign in ahead of launch. Not only will you save time adding your email address and shipping information later on, but it makes tracking your order a lot easier as well. Of course, if you’re not comfortable signing in or creating an account, keep your email address and shipping information handy for a quick copy and paste when you’re against the clock.
4. Find the product page
We’ll be linking you straight to the product page of either the PS5 or the PS5 Digital Edition when stock does arrive. However, if you’re going it alone you’ll want to make sure you’re on the correct product page ahead of time to avoid spending those crucial seconds searching for the PS5 itself on a retailer website. Plus, if demand skyrockets, sites run the risk of crashing which can be particularly frustrating if you’re still trying to navigate the virtual aisles.
5. Don’t give up
If all is going to plan but stock runs out at the final hurdle don’t give up. Over the pre-order period, and during the Xbox launch, we were seeing stock flashing in and out within seconds which means a speedy refresh can propel you straight to the front of the line as stock becomes available again. This goes for those wondering where to buy PS5 later in the day as well.
What is the PS5 price?
The PS5 price is $499 (£449 / AU$749.95). That puts it at the same price point as the Xbox Series X, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise to many, seeing as it’s difficult to imagine the PS5 price exceeding $500 when it’s up against the affordable spread put out by Microsoft.
However, the cheaper PS5 Digital Edition price is $399.99 (£359.99 / AU$599.95), which does flag some concerns considering the Xbox Series S’s $299 price tag. However, the PS5 Digital Edition will run the same specs as the fully-fledged console, further cementing its position in the market as a high value for money option.
That means bargain hunters can still experience everything the PS5 has to offer while foregoing the opportunity to play physical PS4 and PS5 games or save cash by buying in the second-hand market. It’s an excellent proposition that will certainly capture those going for sheer value for money at launch.
