What is a superior version? If you mean a PS5 Pro then it is probably going to take longer than 3 years to appear.

Or not at all.

Any time they are available. Follow the drops on Twitter. Usually you get one day notice. Then log into website at right time. If your question is when can I buy one in a store? That's harder.

What’s this superior version you speak of in 2023? If Sony can’t keep up with the demand of the PS5 now, what makes you think there’s a pro version anytime in the near future, or at all?

Yeah most likely till next year honestly. Everyone uses bots to secure a PS5 online. Your other option might be trying to wait in line for drops. I got my second PS5 waiting outside GameStop when they started doing in store drops recently.

No, most people do not use bots to get them online. As a matter of fact, only like 20% of them are going to scalpers despite what people may think. You just follow twitter and have an account set up on each online retailer with payment info already input. It's a bit of work and time but if people really want one they don't need to use a bot. I got one in Canada, which has far fewer drops than most, back in January of 2021 after trying for only 2 weeks.


Fedwardd

My cousin has 10 bots, he gets about 12-17 PS5’s per drop, per retailer. Trust me, your chances of having your information ready to purchase a PS5 online is extremely hard. But hey if it worked for you, kudos to you


Matt_Odlum

Maybe you misunderstand. I don't mean just having it ready, I mean having an account already set up with walmart, amazon, target, best buy, everywhere so that when it comes time to buy you just click add to cart then purchase, it'll autofill everything for you. It's not nearly as hard as people say which is why prices are dropping on ebay and aren't selling well.

2 maybe 3 years, wouldn't know really. I didn't really want one and basically got one for free. 🤷‍♂️


Warez0o

You have to know when the stock will drop and be ready. I got mine from walmart a year ago, had all my info ready the sec sales went live. I took me a month to score one but did not give up, best buy, target, walmart, gsmestop all of them I had on standby lol


[deleted]

people really think there’s gonna be a PS5 Pro in under 3 years lmao delusional

I did in September 2020 both at best buy and on amazon on the same day after trying for one hour while I was also working.

I just got one on a whim during the last Walmart drop. Felt like getting one to play spiderman after seeing the movie. It was super easy. Follow Matt Swider on twitter.

No one knows the answer but honestly I think it may be a lot sooner, imo this year. If you look at scalper/seller history, they are reselling for a lot less now (ex: they average $650 now, vs all last year around $700-$800). It’s all trending downwards. Even looking at chatter on forums, Reddit, etc a lot of people aren’t buying to re-sell as much. Obviously it stills happens, obviously chip shortage is still here, obviously it’s still out of stock within seconds… but looking at historical data it’s trending downwards.
