That’s good news because while Best Buy’s $199 barrier-to-entry has slowed down the bots – sometimes the PS5 console just sits there with no takers for several minutes – it was never a guarantee.

Thankfully, Best Buy has mostly dropped the Totaltech requirement when trying to buy a PS5. My followers have gotten away with canceling their membership (it’s prorated so they pay for the month), but this isn’t something I can say with authority will always work.

At $199, you get free GeekSquad IT support (though don’t buy into it think this includes fixing hardware parts), extended warranties, and discounts, but there’s no monthly option. Of all the retailers’ paywalls, Totaltech was the hardest to swallow. 🏷️ Do you still need Best Buy Totaltech for PS5? At the time of purchase, it’s then shipped to your local store (hence the five-day delay). That’s because the console you are purchasing isn’t sitting in an individual store, but at a regional warehouse.

But in this case, you pick it up about five days later. 🧠 What to do next time: Go to the store or wait for my PS5 Twitter tracker if you really want that out-of-stock PS5 Digital consoleĮvery Best Buy PS5 restock is a lot like Target – you purchase online and pick up the console at your local store. 🙌 Next PS5 restock: PS5 Disc now available at stores around the country
