On: PS5 Refresh: Oberon Plus

[gambiting]

That is nothing more than a meme at this point - at least here in UK they have been in stock for months and it's not an issue to buy one whatsoever.

I’m in the US and have not been able to buy one for as long as I’ve been interested, which is about 6 months. There are “drops” that happen every other week or so but they sell out in a few minutes.

Walmart may be your best bet since they announce the drops ahead of time so you can be ready and waiting to refresh your browser.

Just checked here in Sweden and only one online store (or at least store that I would trust) claims to have it in stock and they want over 1000€/$.

Everytime I check Amazon, newegg, and best buy(store and online) they have been out of stock. I'm on Amazon's invite to purchase list.

Stores here in Finland are currently shipping pre-orders from January. There is a shortage and it’s real.

That's super weird. Sounds like whoever is the Finnish PS5 distributor needs a solid kick in the bum, as there isn't a shortage in other countries.

Please tell me where to look, I'm currently in the UK and I can't find one available anywhere?

You need to follow something like https://twitter.com/PS5StockAlertUK

Essentially unavailable in Canada unless you buy a bundle, and even those sell out in minutes.

[bdcravens → gambiting]

In the US they typically aren't available at the typical retail locations.

You can buy direct from Sony

[seattle_spring → throwntoday]

Not exactly. You can put your name on a waiting list and be notified of opportunities to buy one periodically. I put my name on their list more than 6 months ago and still have not received a notification that I can buy one.

[tapoxi → seattle_spring]

You can buy one today, they're in stock.

https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/shop-ps5 for the curious.

[dagw → tapoxi]

Not any more

edit: Nevermind, it seems to actually be available

[tapoxi → dagw]

I'm in the U.S, the Forbidden West bundle is still available.
