Here's the full breakdown of how each one works. Lots of companies now limit access to a PS5 to a subscription, but each one is a little different. The most recent change in the PS5 restock game has been paid access - that means once you buy a subscription, you'll hear about the next PS5 restock either earlier than anyone else or exclusively for your club. Over the last period, the biggest retailers have made changes to the checkout process to offer peace of mind and to keep bots from buying all the consoles and selling them for more elsewhere. Speaking from personal experience, it's devastating to get a console in your cart and then miss out because you had to waste precious seconds entering your payment and shipping info.
Multiple reports say that Target stores have more than 30 consoles waiting to be sold in a larger PS5 restock event, while Best Buy and Walmart have gone from regularly selling consoles as soon as they arrive to assembling bundles of accessories and games to sell. Sony made it clear that PS5 restocks would slow down after Christmas due to shortages, which has forced retailers to change how and when console drops happen. The last two weeks have been rough for anyone looking for a PS5 restock, even if you're constantly looking.
