Today’s restock event is rare in that Sony typically requires you to enter an online queue prior to making a purchase. In those instances, we recommend that you log into your Sony and PlayStation Network accounts in advance and double-check to make sure your credit card details are still accurate, which should help once you make it through the queue.
Don’t get discouraged if you’re not able to land Sony’s next-gen console today, however. After all, picking up a PS5 is starting to get easier, especially now that Sony and other trailers are consistently holding restock events again.
