Update: Amazon's surprise restocking has ended, so be sure to follow the PS5 restocking page in case there is another surprise restocking in the coming days.

Just when you thought the PS5 restocking opportunity was over, Amazon PS5 restocking has started for Prime members.

On Amazon's PS5 product page, the console is on sale for $499 when you sign in to your Prime account. Console tracker Wario64 was the first to report on possible future price reductions.

Last week, Amazon offered a restock of Xbox Series X consoles. This price cut was brief, lasting less than 10 minutes total.

Amazon added the restocking language to the PS5 product page just before the Black Friday restocking, which actually took place on the Saturday following Black Friday; no one knows when Amazon will restock, but the retailer has been known to stock the PS5 almost without notice. It has been known to drop them at random. Unfortunately, restocks have also been known to sell out quickly.

It's very easy to be the first to get PS5 restocks from Amazon. For $12.99/month ($119/year), you can get free shipping, access to Prime Video streaming services, and much more. Registration is available below, and a 30-day free trial is also available at no cost.

While there is no sure-fire formula for success when it comes to securing a PS5 when Amazon restocks, there are a few things you can do to take advantage.

First, set up an Amazon account in advance and save your address and payment information. Putting the items in the basket is only half the battle; once they are in the basket, all you have to do is complete the checkout process. If you take the time to enter your card number and zip code, there is a good chance that the console will be sold out while you are typing it in.

There is a slightly different Amazon trick that has proven to make checkout at PS5 easier. When a console is restocked, you can put it on your wish list ahead of time and add it to your cart from there. This avoids the listing page, which is practically always crashing due to over-traffic.

Using this trick, you can usually add inventory to your cart the moment it is restocked.

However, you can still add PS5 even if it is sold out, so make sure you have PS5 on your wish list ahead of time. To take advantage of this trick, do so well in advance of restocking. If you try to add a console to your wish list while inventory is low, the website will usually display an error message.

We tested this method ourselves when we restocked the Xbox Series X and confirmed that it does indeed work. We were able to add the Series X to our basket four times, whereas the listings page crashed repeatedly and we were never able to add it to our basket.
