Illustration by Alex Castro \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n Update April 21st, 1:20PM ET:<\/strong><\/em> Best Buy\u2019s site has sold out of PS5 consoles for now.<\/em><\/p>\n If you\u2019re still in the market for a PlayStation 5, Best Buy just opened up another restock of the disc-based PS5 for $499.99. This restock is live now and is available to everyone, not just TotalTech subscribers, and is still likely to sell out extremely fast.<\/p>\n As always, to better your chances at grabbing one of these consoles, make sure to log into your Best Buy account in another browser tab while you wait in line, and make sure all your personal info, including billing and shipping addresses, are up to date. Once you\u2019ve done that, it’s simply a matter of waiting in line and playing the waiting game. Once you\u2019ve hit the \u201cAdd to Cart\u201d button you are placed in the queue, so there’s no need to refresh the page. Just be prepared to verify your account while you wait.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t recommend add it to your cart in multiple tabs in an attempt to improve your odds, as Best Buy\u2019s queue system tends to get a little confused when you do so. You should, however, keep your phone handy and logged into the Best Buy app in case your PC or laptop gives you any issues.<\/p>\n $500<\/p>\n \n Sony\u2019s flagship next-gen console, which includes a disc drive, allows you to play both digital and physical games for the PS4 and PS5. <\/p>\n $500<\/p>\n at Best Buy<\/p>\n While proper preparation can certainly help, it doesn\u2019t necessarily guarantee that you\u2019ll be able to get a console. If you don\u2019t get one today, remember that persistence is key, a number of staffers at The Verge<\/em> have managed to get their hands on a PS5 through the same methods we\u2019ve outlined here, so keep at it. Even if you strike out today, remember, we\u2019re always keeping track of restocks at Best Buy and other retailers too, so make sure to check back regularly for updates.<\/p>\n \n Related\n <\/p>\n Why the PS5 paywall isn\u2019t worthwhile at Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy<\/p>\n PlayStation 5 review: a big, confident step into next gen<\/p>\n Some must-have PS5 accessories and games<\/p>\n Regardless if you\u2019re one of the lucky shoppers to get a PS5 today, games and accessories for the console are almost always available, and in some cases, are even available at a discount.<\/p>\n $50<\/p>\n $70<\/p>\n 29% off<\/p>\n \n Insomniac Games\u2019 latest adventure in the Ratchet & Clank<\/em> series is the most fun entry yet.
