The Playstation 5 has been one of the hottest product since its release date. Even to the surprise of Sony itself, calling the PS5 launch their “biggest console launch ever”. You have two new releases to choose from: the regular PS5 console for $499 and the PS5 Digital Edition for $399, both at equally high demand.

PlayStation stocks are immensely scarce right now, and it’s a hard to compete in the race with major reselling groups and other scalpers. Since it only takes a blink of an eye for the PS5 to disappear, pages like @PS5StockAlerts started popping up on social media platforms. If you’re truly serious about securing your PS5 this year, you should be on the lookout there.

Playstation 5 is currently being sold through various retailers. The most recognizable of the bunch are Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

• Walmart PS5 / PS5 Digital Edition
• Best Buy PS5 / PS5 Digital Edition
• GameStop PS5 / PS5 Digital Edition
• Amazon PS5 / PS5 Digital Edition

However, because these brands are so well known, they’re also prime targets for buyers and scalpers. They can hardly keep up with the demand, which leads to crashes, delays, or messages about high customer traffic.

Fight fire with fire. If scalpers are using bots against you, why shouldn’t you? It’s a competition, and some competitions might require unconventional solutions. We’ve found a few bots that can turn your mission from impossible to doable:

• PrismAIO. Initially created for sneaker copping, the bot was renewed to support some other websites – including the PS5 retailers.
• Phantom by GhostAIO. The ever-growing website arsenal for this bot now includes Best Buy, which is just what we need.
