Throughout the pandemic, it has brought me extreme joy to pen articles celebrating that hard-to-find tech is getting easier to buy at retail cost. First, it was the Xbox Series S and Nintendo Switch OLED<\/a>, then the Series X<\/a>, and almost all Nvidia and AMD GPUs<\/a> followed a few months after. We\u2019re getting very close to being able to say that the PS5 will soon join the club. <\/p>\n

Yesterday, we wrote that Sony had kicked off another one<\/a> of its once infrequent (but becoming much more frequent) PS5 restocks, and the $549.99 console bundle<\/a> that includes the PS5 with a disc drive along with Horizon Forbidden West<\/em> is still in stock about 19 hours later. Even after everyone has had the chance to run through the queue and make a purchase, there\u2019s still stock left over, chilling out. You can probably go take a nap right now, come back, and buy one later if you want.<\/p>\n

A beautiful sight indeed.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

That kind of luxury \u2014 buying a gadget when you want just because the thought came to you \u2014 is something that a lot of people (including a lot of us at The Verge<\/em>) are relearning. And it\u2019s great. Those early days when we had the mighty responsibility to tell readers when they had minutes \u2014 no, seconds \u2014 to score a console felt special, but I think we\u2019re all ready to move on.<\/p>\n

In February<\/a>, Sony was still struggling to put PS5s on shelves (the PS4 had sold more in its lifespan at that post-launch mark). Recent sales data from the NPD Group states that the PlayStation 5, along with the Xbox Series X, had much higher year-over-year sales in July 2022 than in July 2021, suggesting that consoles have become much more readily available. <\/p>\n

US NPD HW – PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series dollar sales each experienced double-digit percentage growth when compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to say definitively yet that the PS5 is \u201ceasy\u201d to buy because, if that were the case, it\u2019d be in stock and ready to ship immediately from the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, and more. You can currently request an invite to purchase one from Amazon<\/a>, but that only half counts since you have to wait to see if you actually receive the invite. You can also fill out this form for a chance to be invited by Sony to buy a PS5<\/a>. <\/p>\n

With this PS5 restock lasting through the night and well beyond it at this point, I hope it\u2019s an encouraging sign that stock won\u2019t be as much of a dire issue for the 2022 holiday season as it was last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
