The PS5 is very hard to find in stock and if you do it will be very overpriced. So where do you find one?

First, let's get the bad news out of the way: As of April 17, no major retailers have Sony's PlayStation 5 in stock. This shouldn't come as a big shock -- if the past five months have taught us anything, it's that the fastest-selling gaming console in US history doesn't stay in stock for long. Retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Target, Amazon and even Sony itself can't keep up with demand for the highly coveted console, and supply issues are being further exacerbated by the global chip shortage and the pandemic.

But there is hope for gamers looking to buy a PS5. Inventory restocks are happening, though, for both the $500 version with Blu-ray and the $400 digital-only PS5 with no optical drive. Earlier this week, GameStop had a limited number of PS5 and Xbox bundles available. Sony's PlayStation Direct has been holding brief restock events, but those are only open to people who have received exclusive email invites, so you if you're still on the hunt for one, you might want to consider signing up for PS Direct marketing emails in case it helps you get a future invite. And finally, if you're not already on Twitter keeping an eye out for inventory drops, you should be -- they're happening more and more often.
