PS5 Restock at Best Buy Turns Out Better Than Expected

A new restock of the PlayStation 5 took place at Best Buy today, and while it didn't come without its problems, it largely turned out better than many expected. This is primarily because, this time around, Best Buy opted not to release its latest stock of the PS5 behind a paywall. And while there's always a chance that this paywall could return in the future, the lack of its appearance this time around led to some customers finally being able to purchase Sony's console. 

Not long after this PS5 restock at Best Buy began today, social media began lighting up with reactions from customers who are still looking to snag the console prior to this holiday season. In a general sense, more customers seemed to be finding success than normal. However, that success was also entirely dependent on where any given person looking to purchase the console may be residing.

At this point in time, in order to actually pick up the PS5, customers have to live within a certain proximity of a Best Buy store that is carrying the hardware. So if you don't happen to live near a store that has the PS5, you might be out of luck. Although Best Buy has previously run back this rule in certain situations, most PS5 restocks play out in this same manner.
