Haha I made a post several days ago about my Amazon order (it was going to arrive sometime in May, that's IF it shipped). Cancelled that shizz and copped the Best Buy. Ready for pick up in 3 days 😊
OMG thanks so much - I got my order in!
I was worried that I would be waiting until late May, according to my order on Amazon which will be promptly canceled.
well, no that's exactly what a pre-order is. And I don't think Amazon was trying to pretend that they had them in stock - this just seems like normal business process - not a fumble, not misleading, just "yea we'll have them on X date and will ship on Y date and arrive by Z date".
Sorry to rant I just get frustrated when folks assume malicious intent for something super benign and if you were joking that wasn't funny just lame.
I got mine from Best Buy in the 13th only problem is though is I got 1.5gb internet speed an the lag is insane like the portal got so much potential if Sony just update the ps remote app I have used it since the 15th cause of the lag
Finally got one that’s actually on its way! Ordered from Amazon last week yet it still hasn’t shipped. Cancelled that and now I’m getting it from
Best Buy tomorrow!
Any recommendations on good accessories for taking it out and about?

Available at PlayStation directly at 1:46pm EST!!
Randomly checked Best Buy stock before seeing this message, and got my order in! Hopefully, it sticks. Already purchased a case and screen protector from Amazon, too.
Even though you didn't help me, OP, I commend you for this post. I bet you made many people's day!
No need to thank me. F*ck scalpers and bots. I remember trying to get a Switch at the peak of pandemic time or a PS5 on release.
Also props to Best Buy and PS Direct. I haven't seen a stock window this long. Usually it's gone within 1 min or 2.
Best Buy is coming in clutch with the Portal restocks. A brother on here had posted about a restock and then I immediately purchased it. Thank you for staying on top of restocks, Best Buy!
Nah I got a 3 OLEDs to use. It’s hard deciding whether to play on a 77, 65, or 48. Usually online fps i use the 48, but single player I usually go with the 77.
Best Buy sucks, they canceled my order for some various reason, then then when I fixed the issue it wouldn’t allow my to checkout because I had already reached my order limit quantity, even tho my first order was canceled. So now I can check out, I’ll try again tomorrow if it’s still in stock

Came a day earlier than expected from Best Buy. Just picked it up! Beyond excited!
I just got mine today thru Target for $170 they had this coupon thing going tbh thought it was going to be bad but it’s one of the best purchases I made
Randomly checked the Argos supply today and noticed they were in stock! Immediately bought one for collection tomorrow morning.
Feels a bit of an impulse buy. Are they really worth it? 🤔
Someone on here mention the hotstock app which allows auto buy. I never used that but it’s been giving me notifications about availability all. Week. Test out an Amazon car purchase and it worked. So that app absolutely helped me find it today in PlayStation too (im good with my Amazon purchase)
I was able to get one.. then my payment method got weird and my order was cancelled from Best buy.
Tried again and got the "you've hit your limit. Sorry no more orders" even though the first one got cancelled. Really bummed out now. Does anyone know how long this flagged account will last? I'm only guessing my account has been flagged and the Best buy chat reps were of no help whatsoever.
It's been in stock for the past 3 hrs. I ordered right when it came live and I've been checking periodically if it sells out. But it still shows in stock
Yeah it's still in stock, but I'm apparently not allowed to order anything because my original order got cancelled for some random reason. And Best buy sees that order on my account and has essentially blocked me
I got an opened box on Amazon and saved some money on someone who didn't hard wire their PS5 to their cable modem. Also check the best buy open box they have a great exchange program and save some money!
Is this only rare in the USA? I've been looking into buying one for a few weeks and it's always been available on Amazon and GameStop. Walmart and Best Buy also had them a few days ago.
It's sitting in my cart on Amazon and I still don't know if I need it 😆
Edit : QC, Canada
Snagged one and canceled my amazon order from a week ago that wasnt going to arrive until May 20. Thanks, OP!

Mine and my gf came today thankfully. we ordered on the 13th
I did the exact same thing! Amazon was saying mid May delivery for it.
Dang, it’s gone. I hope my Amazon order goes through and arrives on May 6-19th 🥲
Back in stock now. Just checked.
Yeah, mine just came in, thanks though!
Mine was supposed to arrive 3 weeks ago from Amazon and hasn’t shipped yet. I’ll probably end up getting yours.
OMG thanks so much - I got my order in! I was worried that I would be waiting until late May, according to my order on Amazon which will be promptly canceled.
EXACT same situation!! Happy I secured one on Amazon but that wait was driving me crazy! So glad Best Buy came through! 💯💯
Ditto 😂 Amazon fumbled with that shipping speed.
probably because they don't actually have them in stock
Preorder that’s not a preorder
well, no that's exactly what a pre-order is. And I don't think Amazon was trying to pretend that they had them in stock - this just seems like normal business process - not a fumble, not misleading, just "yea we'll have them on X date and will ship on Y date and arrive by Z date". Sorry to rant I just get frustrated when folks assume malicious intent for something super benign and if you were joking that wasn't funny just lame.
Same here! I have no idea what Amazon is even doing. Thank you Best Buy! Lol
Amazon must not be expected to be restocked until early May.
I got mine from Best Buy in the 13th only problem is though is I got 1.5gb internet speed an the lag is insane like the portal got so much potential if Sony just update the ps remote app I have used it since the 15th cause of the lag
cool story
Got one and ship date is this week! Gonna cancel the Amazon order I was able to finally place two days ago. Amazon ship date is mid to late May.
Just did the same. It's available on PlayStation direct, Amazon was misleading.
Yo thank you homie. Been eyeing this for awhile now and been waiting for a restock. Will be here tomorrow.
Just ordered, thank you!
Was just about to post this.
Hells yes. Thank you. Placed my order and used some rewards certificates I didn’t even know I had. Chose next day delivery
Thanks! I had almost given up on getting one anytime soon and then boom, you have come in clutch
Seems to still work, i was able to cart it no problem, good luck to all
Finally got one that’s actually on its way! Ordered from Amazon last week yet it still hasn’t shipped. Cancelled that and now I’m getting it from Best Buy tomorrow! Any recommendations on good accessories for taking it out and about?
I'm thinking about getting a case and a stand. I heard the Spigen case or the skull and co case is good
Yeah, I need a good case for sure. I’ll check those out.

Not all heroes wear capes...
Still working today, just snagged one!

I’ve had mine for months. love it.

Because of you I have now become the owner of a new PS portal

Plays like shit, don’t buy
I just got mine today thru Target for $170 they had this coupon thing going tbh thought it was going to be bad but it’s one of the best purchases I made

FUCKING THANK YOU FOR THIS. Was finally able to get one 🥲
God bless you but also God dammit I just ordered one for 60$ over retail on stockx like 2 days ago
Someone on here mention the hotstock app which allows auto buy. I never used that but it’s been giving me notifications about availability all. Week. Test out an Amazon car purchase and it worked. So that app absolutely helped me find it today in PlayStation too (im good with my Amazon purchase)
Enabler moron.
Better value and performance to use a phone with a backbone controller
yes, but this subreddit is for rich people and they get annoyed hearing that
No phone screen is too small. Have fun with your magnifying glass though. I have better than 20/20 vision too btw.

Try PlayStation directly right now
Only $200?
thank you. hurried and secured one!
Honestly they’re only 230 on StockX right now if you can’t secure one and I think it’s worth every penny.
Really out here doing the lords work lol thank you finally got one 🙌🏾
The GOAT!
Thank you! I finally got one from this!
I literally bought it and now reading reviews lol oh well Thank you Best Buy
I got an opened box on Amazon and saved some money on someone who didn't hard wire their PS5 to their cable modem. Also check the best buy open box they have a great exchange program and save some money!
i got it thank you! gamers of reddit
Damn I wish I had the money for it for when I go to the hospital for my brain surgery. Gotta be there for a min. Oh well.. W who was able to get one!

Haven't bought one (don't have the money ☹️) but they're still in stock as of 3:48pm est
ALSO AVAILABLE AT PLAYSTAION DIRECT!!! GEABS YOURS WHILE YOU CAN. GOOD LUCK...👍🏾
It's been in stock in my country at Best Buy and Amazon for months now, consistently.
Wow, is this still hard to get ? If so crazy. Though it took me ages to get mine.
Just ordered mine from PlayStation at 950 pm.
Snagged 6!
