PS5 restock for Black Friday 2020: Where to look for the best deals
Black Friday is bringing more PS5 stock to stores online and in person, from GameStop and Walmart to Best Buy and Sam's Club.
The hunt is on for a PS5 unit, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday are bringing new possibilities for shoppers anxious to score a PlayStation 5. Ever since the first PS5 units went on sale Nov. 12, the devices have sold out within seconds of online stores announcing availability. Major retailers such as Walmart have literally had their website crash from the onslaught of customers.
There won't be any discounts on the PS5 this holiday season. But everyone seems to be okay with that. Just buying one, at nearly any price, is the goal. Retailers such as GameStop were offering bundles of a PS5 with a couple of games and controllers and a one-year PlayStation membership for upward of $800 last week and they were sold out within an hour. The key is to keep looking and refresh the page often in order to try to find a unit. And buying direct from Sony is a definite possibility as they restock periodically as well. Walmart has announced it will offer a restock beginning at 9 pm ET on Nov. 25.
Target has been an elusive place to score a PS5, but stock has been available regionally. The retailer hasn't announced any Black Friday deals, but that doesn't mean that there won't be any in person, or suddenly appearing on the site during Cyber Week. $500 at Target
