As the title asks, I'm wondering if anyone knows of stores in town that have PS5 in stock, or if anyone knows when stores normally get new stock. I went to a couple places today and all the employees told me is that they didn't have any on hand.
I'm amazed that these are still so hard to come by for being released a couple years ago already!
Target has a bundle on their website for pickup in Branson.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for the tip, I put in the order. Edit: Unfortunately I just got an email from Target that the item is no longer available, and my order was canceled. My search shall continue.
In the lead up to Christmas last year I was able to get three at three different times through Walmart+. I think it is $15/month. Bought one for us, and two for friends.
You’d have much better luck checking online early in the morning by like 5am if you can swing it. Most of the availability I saw was in this window. At that point you just gotta be quick. If you’re over buy Bestbuy sometimes they have them in and you just have to ask. May not be accurately represented online. (Store associate told me this)
Become a GameStop pro rewards member (I think it's like $15 and they give you a $5 coupon once a month for a year). They send out emails to rewards members to let them know when the stores will have stock. We just got ours that way a couple of weeks ago.
How long were you waiting until you were able to get one?
Well, I tried for several of the sony ps5 buying events and they always sold out before I could buy. We just happened to be in Branson when Gamestop was having a ps5 pro members sale. The last email I got was for this week for pro members to get exclusive access to the PS5 at stores. It did say they would go on sale to the public on 10-15 so maybe you could happen on one then if you wanted to wait.
Well crap! I got mine after I followed a guy with Tech Radar on Twitter. He will post every time a store has in stock. I ended up getting mine at Sams.
nowinstock.net and sign up for notifications. That's how I got mine.
Yup, I've requested an invitation on both the console and the bundle edition. Hoping to find one soon!
I know you said in town but since others have mentioned online options, I'd add that Sony has had them readily available through their PlayStation direct site lately. Didn't believe it when I saw it so I tried a few times over the past three weeks and each time got all the way through to order confirmation.
I'm guessing most people aren't aware that it's even an option. Not sure why the availability hasn't filtered down to physical retailers, but I'm down not to give my money to scalpers.

I was able to get mine through the Best Buy Total Tech program online. I cancelled my membership once my console was delivered and it only charged me 30 dollars if I remember correctly.
