Update: Sony is now sold out of consoles. Please follow the PS5 restocking hub for information on the next restock. Also, see our Black Friday info for the latest holiday sale info.

PS5 restocking is available via Sony Direct with a console drop that anyone can join. You can join the virtual queue at this link and get a PS5 for $499 or a PS5 Digital for $399. These are not Black Friday deals, but this is a great opportunity to (possibly) get a console for the holiday season.

Upon entering the virtual queue, you will see an estimated wait time. Wait times will vary, and you will most likely receive a message saying that it will take more than an hour. Even in that case, do not despair. Your status may change rapidly and you may end up with a shorter wait than expected. (For example, after waiting 20 minutes for a previous PS5 restocking event, the wait was reduced from "over an hour" to just 15 minutes.)

Additionally, you may have to solve the captcha. This is a simple challenge/question to verify that you are not a bot and usually requires selecting a radio box. For this reason, it is a good idea to keep your browser tabs prominent. Otherwise, you may miss the captcha challenge and lose your place in line.
