PLAYSTATION 5. The month of April seems to be off to a bad start for PS5 buyers, we are on the tenth day of the month and not a console on sale yet. But this situation can change at any time although nothing has been announced. Follow stocks live.
[Mis à jour le 12 avril 2022 à 14h56] The Playstation 5 continues to make many players dream at the beginning of April. The console has been out for a year and six months now and remains permanently out of stock, the fault of a worldwide shortage of semiconductors which nevertheless seems to be decreasing in intensity. The stocks of the console are nevertheless still quite rare, it can be found used and occasionally on the sites of resellers during restocking. We keep you informed live of these restockings and we offer our buying advice as well as all the best offers for PS5 games, a little further down in this article.
Our update on PS5 stocks from Tuesday, April 12:
2:56 p.m. : CDiscount did not mention making a sale of the console today.
12:05 p.m.: For the moment, despite what is announced on other sites, no restocking of the console is planned today. However, it can be found used and at a high price on the site. Rakuten.
Unfortunately, this simple question has no easy answer. The console is permanently out of stock on the sites of French retailers, and only appears occasionally on certain sites. These sales periods are called restocking or “drops” and are the scene of intense competition to obtain the console. To the many buyers wishing to finally acquire the next-gen console, there are also scalpers or dishonest resellers wishing to appropriate the rare stocks available to resell them at a higher price. A rather complex situation for a simple buyer who must therefore put all the means on his side to validate his basket in time.
In addition, it is important to note that Amazon receives relatively regular restocking and reserves them for its Amazon Prime members. If you haven’t subscribed to the e-commerce giant’s subscription service, you can still avail of its 30-day free trial period. You can then add the console to your wishlist and add it directly to your basket from this tab when stocks are available. This manipulation will not only allow you to save time during your purchase (time is precious when the console is stock) but also to bypass the main product page which could be overloaded with visitors.
Finding a used PS5 may still be the best way to get Sony’s latest console today. Unfortunately, the second-hand market is just about as prolific as the new one, with copies of the console going on sale at prices sometimes beyond double the basic retail price. As a reminder, the PS5 is sold by Sony for 399 euros for its Digital version, and 499 € for its Standard version. Second-hand purchases are therefore reserved for buyers wishing to obtain the console at all costs.
