Deal Details
The Amazon PS5 restock on Thursday, March 18 has been narrowed down to a two-hour window, TechRadar can report thanks to sources with knowledge of the US retailer's PS5 inventory schedule. It's massive, too, at 46,000 PS5 consoles scheduled to be in stock.

$499 PS5 Disc version at Amazon [amazon.com] – in stock Thursday
$399 PS5 Digital Edition at Amazon [amazon.com] – in stock Thursday

Two important facts: Right now, these links lead to consoles that cost $1,000 on average from third-party vendors who are using Amazon Marketplace due to the demand that Sony can't meet. We've gotten a lot of messages from people outraged at the price. This ain't it, chief.

Ignore them. When the Amazon PS5 restock happens on Thursday, March 18, they'll be replaced by consoles sold by Amazon.com. The point is, they'll appear on those same pages we've linked.

Good luck to everyone!

That's about the size of the Target drops. Hardly massive, especially for Amazon. Expect these to be OOS within a minute or two.

Yup already sold out--not unless they are releasing them a few at a time every X minutes like what Walmart did with their most recent PS5 release...not that I needed one, as my Walmart order is expected to arrive tomorrow.

Gotta "love" how the original post was posted 3 minutes before the deal is expected to go live; odds are that by the time anyone even discovers that this deal got posted to SD the deal probably will have been over or dead (i.e., already OOS) by then.

It has not gone live yet. (if it ever will) These are just rumors.

Sony is getting worse than Nintendo at this game of trying to keep demand high by pretending they can't make enough.

Wait, so you're saying that Amazon will release PS5s for sale sometime *during* that window? If so, then my apologies but in my defense the OP post should have made that more clear.

Otherwise--not sure why you replied to my post with that comment...

The very first line in OPs post made that clear to me. "The Amazon PS5 restock on Thursday, March 18 has been narrowed down to a two-hour window"

This deal has not gone live yet.
