Supply and demand for the next-generation iterations of PlayStation and Xbox are at a severe high. New games, new hardware, and scalpers completely buying out stock has only worsened the issue. eBay resellers are probably the worst offenders of this, but scalpers aren’t what we’re here to discuss.
Best Buy, one of the United States’ most known electronics resellers, might have a lucky break for you. Tomorrow, the retailer will be selling limited quantities of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, and that can be your chance to obtain one of these consoles. Let’s talk about how it’ll work and what you can do about it.
How You Can Try To Get A New Console At Best Buy
As stated above, on September 23, select Best Buy stores will have limited quantities of Sony’s and Microsoft’s consoles available. To have an opportunity to buy one, customers need to queue at participating stores. There, in-store employees will begin distributing tickets at 7.30am local time that morning.
Consumers will have a choice between the PlayStation 5, the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, and the Xbox Series X, and upon requesting one, will be given a ticket. From there, it’s as simple as just buying the console you asked for and leaving. These consoles will only be available at participating Best Buy stores, so you may have to check with your local store to find out if it’s happening there.
The PlayStaiton 5 and Xbox Series X are available now.
