If you\u2019ve been tracking new console restocks along with us, you may have noticed that Amazon has taken a backseat for months to the likes of Walmart and Best Buy. While the online giant has had its share of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles from time to time, availability has been infrequent and riddled with issues, particularly when it comes to adding products to your cart; Amazon lacks a proper queue system like other retailers have set up, making it more susceptible to bots. <\/p>\n

But now, Amazon is hyping a restock of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition on Twitter, one set for today, March 30th, at 11AM ET \/ 8AM PT. We haven\u2019t seen this kind of buildup from Amazon for just the Digital Edition before, so hopefully, it\u2019s a sign that there are many to go around and stock will last a little longer than usual.<\/p>\n

The PS5 Digital Edition runs $399.99 at Amazon, the usual retail price for the base console. It may be thought of as the lesser model of Sony\u2019s PS5 offerings, but it saves $100 by eschewing the disc drive. That\u2019s the only sacrifice it makes, as it plays all PS5 and PS4 titles digitally as well as whatever will come with Sony\u2019s new subscription service. Now, with game sizes being as large as they are today, the 825GB SSD may feel a little limiting \u2014 especially when you consider only 667GB of it is available for use. However, if you have a penchant for playing big AAA titles and don\u2019t want to shuffle games around, you can expand the storage by installing a compatible M.2 SSD (as long as it\u2019s PCIe Gen4 and has a heatsink).<\/p>\n

As for landing a PS5 at Amazon, you\u2019ll want to sign in to your Amazon account ahead of time and be ready with all your shipping and billing info saved. Amazon indicates that this restock has priority access for Prime subscribers, which these days runs $14.99 per month or $139 annually. Once 11AM ET \/ 8AM PT rolls around, you want to add the console to your cart and check out as fast as you can. Amazon\u2019s listing may show an Add to Cart button or it can be hidden behind a \u201cSee all buying options\u201d button. You can also use this direct link to add it to your cart with a single click. This is where Amazon often fails would-be buyers, as you may get an error. The key is to stay persistent and keep trying.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this restock helps you land the PS5 you have been wanting.
