PS5 Pro stock updates: Where to buy Sonys console for GTA 6 without overpaying
Can't find a PS5 Pro in stock before GTA 6 drops? Here's why the console is sold out and what third-party prices look like right now.
Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro is currently in high demand as the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI approaches. Major retailers like PlayStation Direct, Best Buy, Amazon, Target, and Walmart have sold out of the console. The shortage is partly due to Sony's struggle with supply chain issues and the global AI boom, which has affected the semiconductor market, making it difficult for Sony to build consoles quickly. Experts predict that the supply constraints could continue well into 2027.
Resellers are taking advantage of the situation, with some charging customers up to $1,500 for a console originally priced at $899. Sony has even implemented a lottery system in Japan for buyers to secure a PS5 Pro, requiring buyers to prove they have played at least 60 hours of PS4 or PS5 over the past two years.
If you're determined to purchase a PS5 Pro before launch, follow these steps: sign up for stock alerts, set reminders to check product pages regularly, and be prepared for sudden restocks. Be cautious of low-rated sellers and listings that seem too good to be true, as they are likely scams.
