Not a lot of people were able to get in pre-orders for Xbox Series X and PS5. But considering some pre-orders will ship as late as next year, the sooner you can order the console of your choice, the better. If you are still waiting for your chance, it could be coming along soon. Best Buy is restocking next gen consoles for its Black Friday Sale.
Best Buy is Restocking Next Gen Consoles Soon
The Black Friday ad for Best Buy is now out, and it includes deals for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and the full version of the PS5. Will there be deals on the digital-only PS5? Right now, there is no way to know. But since the ad does not explicitly reference the digital-only version, we would not make the assumption that it will be available.
Note that the deals in question will only be available online, and not in brick-and-mortar Best Buy Stores. So, you will need to be ready to place your order online; there is no point in heading to your local Best Buy.
The other thing you should not forget is that this restock is in no way going to guarantee that you will be able to get your hands on the console you want. A ton of buyers are going to jump on the sale the moment the items are available. So, if you are not prepared to move super fast the instant the opportunity goes live, you could miss out on your chance.
Now, here’s something else you should know. Black Friday deals are already live on the Best Buy website. So, we can assume that when the consoles release, the restock and the deals may be available immediately. So, you will want to be ready on November 10th for Xbox Series X or S, and on November 12th for PS5. To catch more deals on games or hardware, see our PlayStation news.
