Kristen Danielle Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hey, guys! I was looking at the stock (or lack thereof) of the PS5 systems and I was just wondering if anyone here who is better at predicting this stuff than I am could tell me if they think they might restock around Valentine's Day? February 14 is my birthday and is when I had originally planned to try to get my hands on one. Any info you can offer would be appreciated! Thanks! ?

TristanBrown17 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I followed a couple people on twitter (Wario64 & SoleLinks) for updates on when stock drops. I got my PS5 off the Playstation Direct queue. It takes a bit of luck and good timing, but I know a good few people that had success this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StressEater Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The few people I know who recently got them, they did it through twitter as well. That seems like the place. Good luck, I hope you get one. It would be a great present to yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristen Danielle Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thank you both so much. I have followed the accounts that you've suggested, so here's hoping! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Same as mentioned above. I followed Wario64 and quite a few others on Twitter and their YouTube accounts and was able to get one Thanksgiving week. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a heck of a lot more than 6 games. I have a massive collection. This is simply a new account that I haven't added them to yet and I'm also new to trophy hunting. If you can't say anything nice, why say anything at all? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's it mean giving fiscally sound advice? New PS5 machine is $500 and many AAA PS4 games can be obtained for $10. There's no way I could have known you had games or another account based on all the information given. People on this site are so thin skinned and still others wonder why fights break out over collecting .jpg trophy icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a fight is breaking out here at all, your reaction is the one that demonstrates the thin skinned part you've referenced. You could have just said 'Ah yeah, I didn't think of that, my bad' rather than doubling down on the first comment and digging yourself down deeper with this one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might matter if I didn't bring in $4,000 per month and get paid $500 for every pastel drawing I do, but alas, I do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent! Now to decide if I get black faceplates or sell my other consoles to get white ones to match the standard PS5. The only reason I'm thinking about doing that is that white is a large part of my new design for my room, which we're renovating and changing the colors of. We're doing a complete demolition of my attached bathroom to redo it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xionx Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 People on ebay and other selling sites start to drop the price . A PS5 was arount 1000€ 2-3 weeks ago and know they are around 700€ . So if there is more and more Restock coming these people dont buy more new ones and it should be easier to get a PS5 on normal way. Im sure there will be a restock wave every month , so feb could be already much more easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen them for $1,500 and yesterday they were like $730. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubled down on the fact I did nothing wrong? I wasn't talking about this thread specifically but the site in general, people constantly argue over the most trivial shit. Dude literally called me an asshole though so... 19 minutes ago, Asuna Yuuki said: Your being dramatic. Get over it. I don't think you know what that word means.

GoldenShaka Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Good luck getting one, it's just having time to check twitter, those people mentioned from Cheapassgamer site constantly post something. Also at this point the tsunami of people looking for ps5 will (somewhat) decrease with the end of holidays. Happy new year everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rush will decrease too now that the Christmas present rush is over with. I reckon the first few waves of stock will probably get sold out right away to the folks who couldn't get theirs in December, but it will definitely decrease in terms of demand. 24 minutes ago, Kristen Danielle said: Right now, time is all I've got! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that availability is way better by the time your birthday rolls around ? I'm planning on getting mine whenever they officially announce the release date for Resident Evil 8, I absolutely want that to be my first PS5 platinum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
