If you’re looking for a PlayStation 5 during Cyber Monday, you already know it’s part timing and part luck—finding this coveted console requires patience and refreshing retailer sites to see if inventory magically appear right when you’re looking. The PS5 is just as hard to get as it was when it first launched because of ongoing chip shortages around the world, but with some online sleuthing and dedication, it’s possible to find one.
Retailers are restocking regularly, and some retailers are also offering bundles (though they tend to cost more). Walmart was one such retailer with a big PS5 Cyber Monday restock, but it’s been long out of stock.
The PlayStation 5 is one of the hottest selling items, especially during Cyber Monday.
Even if most retailers have already sold out of their allotment of consoles, you may still be able to buy the PlayStation 5 after Cyber Monday is over. You can wait patiently for another weekly restock opportunity if you don’t want to pay a penny more than it’s worth. Matt Swider is a great resource for getting the drop on these opportunities.
If you’re prepared to pay a higher price you can opt for bundles, which are easier to come by, though not all bundles are created equally. In fact, outside of most major retailers, many bundles are marked up well beyond the package’s total value. For the best cost-effectiveness, look for bundles that come with popular games and officially licensed accessories. GameStop will often have the best opportunity for these.
And all hope for a normally priced console isn’t lost; there may be more stock incoming sooner than you think as retailers battle to keep up with demand. Read on for the latest details on where you can get a PS5 and accessory and game deals.
Where To Buy A PS5
This PS5 Comes With A Sportsball Game And Accessories
If you can’t catch a PS5 at MSRP for Cyber Monday, your only practical choice might be getting it as part of a bundle. The PS5 is for sale at some major retailers if you're happy to buy a bunch of accessories with it. This Blu-Ray edition comes with extras including NBA 2K21, a charging dock and headphones. But it also costs over $1000, and the value of items included don’t come close to totaling the final cost if you were to price everything out.
