Update May 24 at 4:30 pm ET: This Sony console replenishment is for new PS5 boxed packages with Horizon Forbidden West included. The cost of this disc-equipped PS5 package is $ 549.99, which reflects a $ 20 discount from the $ 69.99 game price.
The latest hard-to-get PlayStation 5 console reservation has arrived. Sony has opened a public queue that you can join now to have the opportunity to buy a $ 499 PlayStation 5 that has a hard drive. We also expect Sony to have the $ 399 PS5 digital edition without a hard drive, as well as your selection of accessories and games. Sony has usually offered invitation-only opportunities to buy a PS5, but has also recently run public ones, allowing anyone with a PSN account to purchase a console.
Be sure to sign in immediately with your PlayStation Network account login information, as you will need to sign in if you have to to pay. While the Sony site often offers an estimated waiting time of an hour or more, the key is patience. Some people may be lucky with a much shorter wait time at first, while others may have a long way to go from the start. We recently saw people with a one-hour wait time get in and buy a console. I have also personally seen that my stopwatch has been reduced to the remaining 11 minutes before going back up and finally expiring.
It may sound like shit, but if you can get in, you can buy a console without the need for an expensive package. Note that Sony has a limit of one console per PSN account.
Good luck in the queue and remember you don’t need to refresh the page.
