While many of you will be eagerly anticipating delivery of your PlayStation 5 this week, spare a thought for the millions of others who’ve been unable to secure a pre-order. Fortunately, it looks like you’ll have the opportunity to order online this coming 12th November, as various retailers have indicated that they’ll be replenishing their stock this coming Thursday.
For example, Walmart will be opening orders at 12:00PM ET, 3:00PM ET, 6:00PM ET, and 9PM ET. That’s three opportunities to snag yourself a system! There’s more information here:
Meanwhile, Newegg has teased that it’ll have new systems available for order from 12:01AM ET on 12th November as well. There are no multiple time slots here, so it's fastest finger first we're afraid:
We’re sure that others will follow soon. Are you still hoping to grab a PS5 before Christmas? Devise a purchase plan in the comments section below.

That's right. Only 3 timeslots, guys. Don't you dare try the 4th timeslot from the tweet, that's just for me.
Good luck to those who haven't been able to secure a console yet.
Good luck friends!
Can't wait to not get the console on launch 😃
I'm still waiting for Walmart to confirm mine has shipped. Its making me a little itchy.
Yes im hoping to secure a ps5 before Christmas and an external harddrive
We can only hope...
Game will have some in the UK too apparently:

I asked Amazon UK today and they said they would get more stock "very soon". It could be on the same day.
Good luck to everyone still hunting for the PS5 and Series X. Here's to hoping you'll get one, whether it's on Thursday, before Christmas or early next year.
@Enuo same, but I got an email today saying it might be "a day or two late." Hopefully that's all since I got my order in on day one, but we'll see...
I received an email from Wal-Mart today saying my pre-order may be delayed. If it's by much, I may just try to snag one in store. Anyone else get this email?
@HotGoomba___Rebrand **high five**
Is this just confirmed for the us of a or is it a North America thing. For example Will the great white north be included in this restocking?
Ah sh*t, here we go again...
Will try to beat the bots.
A day later GS will have them in store. Yeah, Sony wasn’t serious about that physical store thing. Not that I care.
@Jaz007 Well that's Gamestop's problem, not Sony's. They clearly stated their position. If a retailer chooses to make systems available in store, thats on them.
Although everywhere i've seen suggests its order online for an appointed pick up time.
Stock also available in the Uk on the 19th. Game are sending out emails saying they have limited stock to purchase online only launch day.
Most have some stock available to order online on launch day.
I think some like gamestop will even have a few in store.
'The retailer confirmed it will have a minimum of two PS5 and two Xbox Series X consoles per store at opening on Black Friday.'
If you miss your chance to snag a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X at launch this week, you'll have another chance later this month during Black Friday 2020. GameStop released its Black Friday ad today and also confirmed it will have limited stock of the PS5 and Series X and S in stores only on Black Friday (November 27).'
Still waiting for Game to take my money. They said a week ago they’d be taking it in a couple of days. Just bloody take it so I can chill!
Heh, I bet the shopping bots are already warming up for launch day, doing push-ups, 50 laps around the CPU cores etc.
Though for me it's next week, as I live in Europe, here's hoping I can nab one on 19.
Good luck everyone!
@thefourfoldroot 🤣 I'm exactly the same don't worry same boat with the whole they say "next few days we will take payment" that was Thursday last week whats going on thats a long few days for me. I bet you they will take the money next week on Tuesday 😅 im not holding my breathe just a pain tbf.
Game have taken money from my account today for the media remote and headset. Just another week before amazon take payment for the console 🤞
Some Italian retailers say on their sites that there will be the chance to order PS5 only on november 19th.
I may try to get one to play the PS4 games on my backlog...
The Newegg site was more than a little rough when I tried picking up the Series X. I'd recommend using different options for those hoping to get the PS5 on the 12th
Hi!
Does Sony communicate re-stock per country?
If yes, where can I find it?
What about the rest of Europe?
I have pre-ordered just couple of hours after sony's show, but retailer says they're gonna get next batch in February.
I mean - seriously...? Hopefully, there will be more units coming to other countries than UK, Germany, France etc...
I tried to keep an eye on what retailers were doing for the Series X last night, and I hope PS5 gets similar treatment. I will have several tabs open at midnight and hope for the best. Wal Mart will be a backup.
@Cheski same here. I had Best Buy open but it crashed right at midnight when I hit refresh. Gamestop had the $900 Xbox Series X available right at 12:01am. I got to the end in checkout but cancelled at the very end. I am not an Xbox fan, but just wanted to see how far I could get in the checkout process.
@JustEddie Yeah I have a feeling an overpriced Gamestop bundle is what I will end up resorting to. I guess I can just flip what I don't want from the bundle on eBay or something, but that is another hassle. If it ends up being the "Starter System Bundle" they currently have listed, I would be OK with that though.
@Rob_230 It's technically the day after launch, which doesn't violate what Sony said. Meaning, I highly doubt Sony really cares that much.
I have an appointment to go pick mine up tomorrow at best buy, that experience was pretty rough so I'm surprised I actually got one. You'd think these retailers would do better to combat bots, but I guess money is money.
Amazon sent one of my friends an email yesterday telling him the Xbox he ordered was delayed until December 31st, I thought they were supposed to send those out way earlier, that's a huge delay for somebody that got it on the day sales went live.
I really didn't want to buy one from Walmart, but if that's the best option, then I'm going to try it. I'll be on their website at noon ready to go.
Being in the US this is my only hope to get one.
Wal-Mart is my primary, Target is the back up.
Wish me luck fellows.
So it's Round Two...of the Internet crashing If they do this next week in the UK to I might and try and get another one
Wish they get stock in japan ... its sad that they prioritize others countries more .
Good luck everyone still trying. Thankfully I was lucky to get a preorder through Sony back in September. Mine shipped the 7th, supposed to be here tomorrow, we'll see, as today is a holiday. Target already sent me my spare controller.
Great news, my brother in law wasnt able to get one so hopefully he does in this round. Mine is sitting in the back of ebgames waiting till tomorrow morning for me to pick ut up.
Mine finally shipped from Wal-Mart yesterday. It's due on Friday. Thankfully, I have a short workday that day, so I should be home when it arrives. I was beginning to wonder how late it would be, but I'm happy with Friday, especially considering what others are dealing with.
