Deal Details
I might get roasted as it's "not a deal" but Best Buy stores are stocking the PS5s tonight if you're on the west coast and tomorrow morning for those one the east coast. Will you store have consoles? There is an easy way to find out!

1. go on the app, search for ps5 and then you toggle the in stock button on and off
2. If the console shows up then there's a chance they have them in store
3. When you select a new store to check you have to retoggle the in stock button on and off again to refresh
4. If a store shows stock then head to the store asap and ask about it, if your store is closed, line up before opening

This is normal, it's says that as these are only available for in store pickup and can not be reserved .

I doubt it because couple of stores show the digital in stock as well while the TT drop was disc only. This seems like similar to in store only restock that BB did couple of weeks ago.

They've been oddly silent about it, as have some bigger Twitter accounts, but this isn't the first time this has happened. One store near me had 20 of each, but that was tonight, I imagine they will still have a few in the morning.

Don't worry about the thumbs down...that's just hoping the thread gets buried to keep it on the hush. Believe me, 99% of those giving the thumbs down are gonna try.

It not that they are afraid, they are just hoping to keep capitalizing the opportunity to resell until market stabilized. Obviously it starting to go downhill. I don't believe Sony is purposely underproducing the console.

I'm on the app. What do you mean by 'in-stock button'. I don't see one or I'm missing it.

Search PlayStation 5 and there should be an "in store at …" you'll need to toggle this for each store you select, otherwise you'll get a false positive.

No I agree they never underproduced on purpose. Glad to see this finally going downhill.
