Best Buy restocked the PS5 on Friday and then sold out, but may soon have more in stock.

This is the third Friday that Best Buy has dropped PS5 inventory, and a pattern is definitely developing at this point. Hopefully, this is a sign that the inventory issues that have plagued the console since its launch are beginning to ease and that we will soon be able to purchase the console with confidence.

If Best Buy has the PS5 back in stock, they need to hurry. And there are some tips that will give you an advantage next time.

It is important to note that Best Buy does not allow you to order the PS5 in their retail stores; the PS5 must be ordered online. Some stores offer the option of in-store pickup, but you must complete the transaction online in advance.

When Best Buy restocks the PS5, it will almost certainly sell out within minutes, so you will need to complete your order at lightning speed. Make sure you have a Best Buy account and save all your payment information in advance to speed through checkout.

It is also wise to set up inventory alerts or follow the PS5 Restock Twitter account.
