April 21st update at 1:20pm ET: Best Buy’s PS5 consoles are sold out right now.
If you’re still in the market for a PlayStation 5, Best Buy just opened another re-stocking of PS5 Disc-based for $499.99. This restocking is now available for everyone, not just Total Tech Subscribers, and still will likely sell out very quickly.

We don’t recommend adding it to your cart in multiple tabs in an effort to improve your odds, as Best Buy’s queue system tends to get a little confusing when doing so. However, you should keep your phone handy and log into the Best Buy app in case your computer or laptop is causing you any problems.

If you don’t get one today, remember that perseverance is key, and a number of employees in the edge They managed to get the PS5 through the same methods we outlined here, so keep it up. Even if you go out today, remember we always keep track of restocks at Best Buy and other retailers too, so be sure to check back regularly for updates.
