Amazon released a new PS5 restock this morning, dividing PlayStation fans in the process. Resupply fell as much of the east coast began its shift and the west coast was still sleeping. Despite this, supply could not keep up with demand as the stock ran out within minutes. And if that sounds familiar to you, that’s because that’s how almost every PS5 restock goes, especially with Amazon.
As with every Amazon restock, many PlayStation fans walked away with nothing but frustrations and dog photos. However, if the responses to popular replenishment accounts like Wario64 are any indication, many were able to secure an order using various tricks and hopping on the links nicely and early.
If you missed the replenishment, it was only for the disc version of the console, also known as the $ 500 version of the console, which of the two console versions is easier to find. Why is it easier to find than the all-digital $ 400 version of the console, no one knows for sure, but reports suggest it’s being manufactured at a much higher rate than the $ 400 model, and that’s probably because Sony’s margins on the $ 500 model are much better.
That said, most PlayStation fans don’t care which model they get at this point. For some, today was finally the day, but for many others, this morning was only the last chapter in a long struggle.
