How to buy PS5: top tips

PS5 restocks - Frequently asked questions
We've been tracking PS5 restocks for the better part of three years now and are using our experience to help answer some of your most burning questions.
How often is the PS5 available to buy?
Generally speaking, the PS5 is now readily available in the US and UK in both disc and digital versions standalone and with bundles. Availability is a little trickier in Canada and Australia but we've seen good changes happening at both big box online stores and smaller outlets too.
How much does a PS5 cost?
The PS5 costs $499 (£479 / AU$799.95) - that's the same price as Microsoft's Xbox Series X in the US, but more expensive in the UK and Australia after the recent price hike. The cheaper PS5 Digital Edition is priced at $399.99 (£389.99 / AU$649.95).
It's almost guaranteed that both versions of the console will remain at this price for some time. Demand is still astronomically high for the console and Sony sees no reason to discount it for the time being. It even bumped up the price of the console in many regions due to increased production costs.
Should I buy the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition?
The standard PS5 is able to play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and physical games which makes it the better all-rounder if you want to build up a collection. In contrast, the PS5 Digital Edition is a little cheaper and doesn't include a disc drive as the name would imply. This means you're solely limited to buying and streaming games and media from the PlayStation Store through the Game Catalog and streaming apps respectively. The choice will depend on your lifestyle.
