Are you still looking for a PS5? You can buy the disc-based PS5 at a discounted price today. After waiting through a short queue, the general public can get their hands on this console online.

There are a few things you can do to improve your chances of getting the PS5 today. Before you log in, make sure your billing and shipping details are up to date. If you click on the Add to Cart button, you will be able to get into the queue.

You should not refresh the page if you are in the queue. Best Buy's recently updated queue system doesn't always work well when you open more than one tab. If you run into problems with your PC or laptop, keep your phone close to you.

If you have been striking out online, you may want to check a Best Buy store, as stock has started to become more readily available. If you don't want to call your local shops at a time, sites like gpudrops.com can keep you up to date with stock information for the PS5 and other in-demand items from a variety of retailers.
