GameStop has announced that it will be offering an in-store PS5 restock this September in select cities. GameStop isn't the only gaming retailer to offer an in-store PS5 restock--Best Buy offered a PS5 and Xbox Series X restock recently, which resulted in massive lines outside of participating stores. Hopefully, GameStop's upcoming PS5 Bundle Trade Event will be as successful. The event is currently scheduled for September 30 and will be available to all GameStop customers who move quickly enough.

RIP to Gamestop employees.

RIP to the GameStop employees and the people that aren't willing to fight. There will definitely be a lot of arguments, fights, and queue dodgers.

I wonder how long the PS5 buyer lines will be, and will a lot of people rather buy a cheaper priced used PS5 rather than waiting in line for a new one at Gamestop.

Glad I'm not a GS employee.

I haven't really checked but I would guess that there aren't that many used PS5 consoles. Most people that got their hands on one would have wanted it so are unlikely to give it up

There don't seem to be many used PS5 consoles.

I can find 44 used PS5 on eBay.com on the "Buy it Now" section. The auction for PS5 on eBay.com has 56 consoles. On my local Craigslist, I can find 3 PS5 consoles for sale. A lot of the used PS5 on eBay are very overpriced costing hundreds of dollars more than the retail price for a PS5.

Yeah, unless you're really desperate for one, it's just better to wait it out and get a brand new one for the retail price. Especially as it should slowly become easier to get your hands on one

If waiting its just what I need to do and get PS5 for a discounted fee then I'll sacrifice my time to wait. I just don't know why it is RIP for GameStop employees. Is it that most of their consoles for PS5 will be sold online and not offline anymore?
