Having difficulties getting your hands on a PS5? Between a global microprocessor chip shortage, a global pandemic, and strained global supply chains, many consumer electronics are having difficulties finding their way back on to shelves, and the PS5 is no exception.<\/p>\n

Since the launch, there has been a consistent shortage of consoles and other consumer electronics, with producers saying it may take years before they are able to fully stock a lot of items and catch up with the demand.<\/p>\n

Compounding this, many scalpers are taking advantage of the demand, snatching up consoles with automated bots, and reselling them on places like Ebay and Facebook for a profit.<\/p>\n

If you are one of those who want to grab a PS5<\/strong> or a PS5 Digital Edition<\/strong> before it\u2019s sold out again, if you\u2019re lucky, the retailer might have a \u2018back in stock alert<\/em>\u2018 to notify you by email when you can buy it. But quite often, for products in high demand, these alerts often come with a delay, meaning when you do receive it, it\u2019s already too late.<\/p>\n

Follow these guys on Twitter<\/h2>\n

Some savvy shoppers have turned to follow Twitter accounts that send a tweet every time a PS5 is back on the shelves. A fast way to get near real-time alerts is following @mattswider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tech reporter tweets every time new PS5 stock is available at any US store. Other helpful accounts to follow to get PS5 stock notifications are @PS5StockAlerts<\/a> for the US and @PS5stock<\/a> for the UK.<\/p>\n

But for those who want to ensure they\u2019re being updated first before anyone else, setting up change detection notifications yourself is one of the most reliable ways to make sure you know before anyone else. For this, using a website change monitoring tool, like VisualPing<\/strong>, is the fastest way to get started.<\/p>\n
