Get another chance on PS5 from Sony right now

After two straight afternoon sabbaticals for PlayStation 5, Sony is going for a three-peat. The console maker has opened up another public queue for buying the PS5 console, and you can join in now. After queuing up pending availability, you can have the chance to purchase either a standard PS5 for $499.99, a digital edition for $399.99, or a bundle with a digital voucher to download. Horizon Forbidden West For an additional $50 (which is a discount, by the way). I’d bet on the bundles with the highest availability.

We’ve seen Sony’s last two stocks remain open for a few hours, with many people easily finding success in buying the console. All you need to do is sign in with your PlayStation Network account (one console per account), and if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus, you’ll receive free shipping. Here’s hoping that availability is opening up enough that one day we won’t even need digital queues. In the meantime, good luck buying your PS5 today.
