PM me next time if it comes up please . I can’t believe how hard it is to get one still, but with kids I don’t have the time to be on top of the sales.
Will do. My sister has gotten a few of them already (emails, not PS5s). I'll ask her to forward me that as well. I looked the other day online and Walmart had some in stock (resellers most likely). I'll do some hunting and I'll post what I find here if it gives sufficient time for people.
Walmart, Target, Gamestop, and Playstation Direct seem to be the best places to check. One Tracker
Sony Group Corp. is preparing to introduce a new video game subscription service for the PlayStation as early as next week, said people familiar with the plans.
The service, which has been in development under the codename Spartacus, is Sony’s answer to Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox Game Pass, a sort of Netflix for video games that has amassed more than 25 million subscribers. Sony’s will debut with a splashy lineup of hit games from recent years, said the people, who requested anonymity because the plans are private.
Sony’s new service will combine two of its current offerings, PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus. Customers will be able to choose from multiple tiers offering catalogs of modern games and classics from older PlayStation eras.
Documents obtained by Bloomberg last year showed the most expensive tier will also give players access to extended demos and the ability to stream games over the internet. A spokesperson for Sony didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
PlayStation consoles have outsold Xboxes in recent years, but Sony lags behind Microsoft’s efforts in the streaming market. Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of games for $10 a month. One of Game Pass’s biggest selling points is that subscribers get access to many titles on the same day they go on sale in stores for $60 or $70 each. That includes this year’s much-anticipated Microsoft sci-fi game Starfield.
Sony will likely be at a disadvantage there. The new service is not expected to feature its biggest titles on the day they come out. The upcoming God of War Ragnarök, for example, is unlikely to be offered on the streaming platform right away, said one of the people familiar with the plan.

Why not contact the seller and ask them? I know when I got mine from Gamestop it was a plain box. Hopefully this seller took that into account. Was there any insurance on it?

I got one from Amazon on Wednesday. I subscribed to several PS5 Radars on Twitter and tried to get one since January. It really boggles my mind that it is still so hard to get one.
So my PS5 is now in my city. Doubt it will move on Sunday, but will probably move to the hub closest to my house on Monday. Which I then plan to call them up and ask if I can just come pick it up. The entire thing weights 16 pounds according to UPS! Also ordered some Sony headset as Sony is voiding all shipping fees, even express delivery. As long as it us ordered through Playstation.
