Amazon offers a new and tidier way for buyers to buy a PS5. You can request an invitation right here on the product page of the console (it is on the right, where the “buy” button is usually located) and the company says that if you are selected, you will receive an email with a purchase link within 72 hours. What’s more, you don’t have to be a Prime subscriber to request an invitation.
For now, this invitation-based system only seems to be available for the more expensive $ 499.99 version of the PlayStation 5, which has a Blu-ray disc drive, and not the digital version. If you want to increase your chances of getting one (even if you’re unlucky soon), Sony has long offered continuous registrations to be considered for an invitation to purchase the PS5 directly. All you need is a PSN ID.
Amazon’s timing for this new invitation system debuts with an interesting moment or I read a little too much. To promote the Walmart Plus Weekend (Walmart’s look at Amazon Prime Day), Walmart Plus subscribers will have a chance at 15:00 ET today to purchase the PS5 from the retailer.
In 2022, filling consoles is slower, and the PS5 is one of the few remaining hot technology items that still doesn’t meet the high demand. The Xbox Series X and Series S were easier to find in stock, as were Nintendo’s OLED Switch and several high-end graphics games.
