We’ve only got a few retailer options left for those hunting down PS5 30th Anniversary pre-orders right now.

My advice right now?

Keep an eye on GameStop on the hour and keep pushing on Walmart’s pre-order button when it loads.

PS5 30th Anniversary pre-orders have sold exceedingly fast today, across both the US and UK.

Amazon is suspiciously silent, having only dropped the standard edition PS5 Pro.

600 more units will go live on the hour every hour until stock is depleted.

GameStop | Restocking hourly until 3pm ET

It’s still worth checking in and keeping that refresh button hot.

Amazon |Check stockAmazon’s listing page seems to live, well half live.

Target |Check stockTarget has now run out of stock in the US.

Walmart | Check stock

Argos |Check StockArgos appears to have slowed its stock down, running out in a number of areas.

I’d check your postcode as these units might be allocated to more regional stores.

Very |Check stockA listing page has now appeared at Very, though it remains unavailable at the moment.

Best Buy | Check stock

This retailer moves fast, and often holds onto its stock fairly well.

That means it should be one of the first stores you check when stock lands tomorrow.

Well hello there!

Amazon | Check stock

That means you’ve got the option to sit tight and let me do the digital running around.

Tomorrow’s stock drop will be wider retailers' (think Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart etc.)

first chance to launch their own listings.

PS Direct | Check stock

Right now,everything is sold out at the official PS Direct storeand these gadgets sold fast.

Tomorrow could be your last big chance to grab a retro colorway.

This play is one I’ve seen before.

Target | Check stock

It’s a mirror image of how Walmart handled the original PS5 stock drama.

But what about Best Buy?

That means it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where stock is going to land ahead of time.

Argos | Check Stock

At the moment, I would recommend the latter.

What about UK shoppers?

Very is actually often one of the fastest shops out the gate when it comes to pre-orders.

Very | Check stock

What’s more, this is a fantastic way to get around resellers.

If you’ve got a little extra cash to spend I often see Very offering bundles.

I hope it goes without saying, but it’s not worth diving into these listings.

Currys | Check stock

It’s also no longer appearing in Google’s own Shopping results, which is certainly fishy.

I’ll keep searching and keep you updated.

Anything you’re able to do to speed up that process is going to work heavily your favor.

The full list is below:

Personally, it’s the paperclip that’s doing it for me.

When will 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim pre-orders go live?

That we can’t quite say.

That’s not to say you should rock up at 10am / 8am on the dot.

You want to be in the best possible position to break through the gates.

Will there be any midnight stock?

And we’re live!

I wasn’t expecting to be talking US retailers so soon, but I’ll certainly take it.

Keep an eye on those inboxes!

It looks likeVeryis gearing up to make some magic happen.

This gamepad has been sold out across the web for some weeks now.

DualSense Edge Controller | $219.99 / £219.99 | Check Amazon

This is going to move fast, though.

You’ll be paying a fiver for delivery here.

It seems that the console is currently jumping on and off Amazon’s shelves.

PlayStation Portal | $219.99 / £209.99 | Check Amazon

Well that moved fast…

I’m now seeing the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition out of stock across Amazon and Argos.

If you’re sticking with Argos, though, be sure to double check your postcode.

This retailer often assigns its inventory by local store, so you could get lucky with some availability nearby.

Who’s up next?

If not, don’t give up just yet.

So what do you do now?

Instead, there’s a message stating that the item wasn’t added to the cart.

I’d still move fast here, though.

That means lining up atWalmartnice and early with everything signed in.

It’s also worth hedging your bets withAmazon.

Things can be a little more hectic here, but inventory should be healthy.

Hunting down that DualSense?

UK:Check AmazonBefore Very unleashed its own stock I would have put the purple retailer over Amazon.

That’s a problem.

Be sure tohead into your account configs and skip the free trialbefore 10am rolls around.

PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary pre-order at Amazon

That will put you onto a paid membership and you’ll have full access to pre-orders.

Get signed in, get that payment information saved, and warm up that refresh button.

I’ve just realized that Amazon hasn’t dropped any DualSense stock yet

And that could be good news.

PS5 Pro pre-order at Amazon

Keep a close eye out if you’re on the hunt for some extra buttons.

This is going to be a fast pre-order so be prepared.

That means it’s time to hunker down with that refresh button and keep those retailer sites looking fresh.

Target out of PS5 30th Anniversary Edition stock

Head to EE for this latest wave, but remember it’s going to go quickly.

That means competition is going to be reduced here, but it’s still certainly going to be fierce.

It’s time to get going!

EE PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary bundle in stock

It might be hectic but this is your best option if you’re not a Walmart Plus member.

It looks like the site is struggling a little, but we’re still able to break through.

Keep trying to get through to checkout, the fight’s not over yet.

Who has the PS5 Pro in stock right now?

There are four retailers currently offering PS5 Pro pre-orders in the US.

These are longer gaps between stock waves, though.

Amazon PS5 30th Anniversary Edition listing page

Best Buy has reverted back to ‘Coming Soon’

But I wouldn’t give up yet.

While that gray button may be disheartening, I would keep trying here.

What is Amazon doing?

Walmart PS5 30th Anniversary pre-order

It hasn’t even launched its DualSense stock yet, but is certainly one to watch.

The retailertweetedthat they will be dropping 600 consoles every hour until stock runs out today.

you’re gonna wanna be a Pro member to jump on this stock, though.

Still, this is moving fast.

Let’s regroup

Where are we at the moment?

What if you missed today’s pre-orders?

GameStop PS5 30th Anniversary pre-order

Didn’t catch today’s 30th Anniversary pre-orders?

The PS5 30th Anniversary Edition will officially launch on November 21.

I would seriously recommend lining up these retailers again on release day.

Walmart 30th Anniversary PS5 pre-order

Cards decline, payments fail, and people lose the pre-order hype.

I often see another wave of stock making the rounds on release day itself for this very reason.

GameStop’s latest restock has come… and gone?

There are a couple catches involved, however.

First and foremost, you’ll need a GameStop Pro account, as they’re exclusive to the service.

Second, good luck getting one even then as they’ve been selling out immediately.

It all comes to this: the final(?)

That is assuming you could make it through the restocking gauntlet.

As they say, may the odds ever be in your favor.

If you managed to score one from the retailer today, congratulations!

The final drop hits in 3 minutes.
