Best Buy PS5 restock

Best Buy offers customers multiple bundles that allow them to purchase a console with various accessories and games. However, at time of writing all of these are sold out.

Ebay PS5 restock

Currently, per stock tracker NowInStock.net, Ebay is pretty much the only way to get a PS5 at the start of 2021. However, purchasing from Ebay comes with its own set of problems, with prices highly inflated and the chance of being scammed.

Prices for PS5s on Ebay from "buy it now" sellers are currently ranging from $750 to a whopping $40,000, with the average price trending across the last 90 days at $799.99.

When will the PS5 restock?

Digitimes reported that up to 18 million more units were due to stream in 2021, around five times more than were released within the first month of sale.

Originally, the plan was to ship up to 6 million units between release and March 2021, but this was increased to a planned 10 million according to GamesRadar.
