You’re in luck if you’re still trying to nab a PlayStation 5 as Sony is once again selling the console just days after holding its last restock event. Right now, you can buy the standard, disc-based console with a digital copy of Horizon Forbidden West for $549.99. You’ll also get free shipping if you buy either a PS5 game or select controllers with your purchase.
We can’t guarantee you’ll be able to nab the PS5, but there are a few things you can do to give yourself a better shot in the future if you don’t manage to secure one today. For one, most of Sony’s restock events require you to enter an online queue prior to making a purchase, which is why you should make sure you’ve logged into your Sony and PlayStation Network account in advance. You’ll also want to double-check to make sure your credit card details are still accurate. However, don’t get discouraged if today isn’t your lucky day — picking up a PS5 is starting to get easier.
