How to Find the PS5 in Stock Now
Finding Sony’s PS5 in stock can still be difficult. This guide will help you get one, hopefully without paying inflated prices. It will also show you where to check for new PS5 stock and how to get notified when stock is available at a retailer so you can order one quickly.
The PS5 Digital Edition is $399.99 while the standard disc version retails for $499.99. That being said, Sony has raised the PS5 price in markets outside of the United States by as much as 21%.
Both versions of the PlayStation 5 can be hard to find right now and it might take some patience if you haven’t managed to track one down yet.
Where to Find the PS5 in Stock Now
The PS5 is sold directly at several stores though many of them are routinely sold out. You can, however, buy it right this second on resale sites like eBay if you’re willing to pay a premium.
Here’s a rundown of where you can check the PS5 stock manually. This is smart to do because it can give you an edge in some cases.

You can also try and order inside physical retail locations, some GameStop locations have allowed this, but quantities may already be spoken for.

How to Get a PS5 Right Now
If you don’t want to deal with manually tracking stock at retailers or waiting for orders to start back up when small amounts of stock trickle in, you can look for both PS5 models at resellers like eBay and Craigslist.
People are reselling both versions of the PS5 on eBay for well over their standard retail price. That’s obviously far from ideal, but it’s an option if you’re tired of waiting.
Be careful to read the listing before you buy as we’ve seen questionable listings. eBay is pretty good at closing them down, but you’ll still want to exercise caution.
