Today, Sony put up a website that allows you to put your name in a hat for a PS5 restock next month.
There are some ground rules. First, you’ll need to have an account with PlayStation Network (PSN). That’s Sony’s online membership that allows you to buy games and such from the PlayStation Store, as well as sign up for services like PS Plus and PS Now. Also, though it’s technically open to folks living abroad, you can only get consoles shipped to an address in the United States. And you’re limited to just one console (either the $499 standard edition with a disc drive or the $399 model without) per PSN account.
Note that this doesn’t guarantee you a slot. According to Sony, selections are based on a mixture of available supply and decided by “previous interests and PlayStation activities,” which sounds a little sinister. If you’re chosen, Sony will send out an email to the address associated with your PSN account. It’ll include a time and date for when you’ll be able to log on and buy your console, along with an expiration time and date for when your invite closes. Confirmation emails will start rolling out early next month.
