Amazon's PS5 restock process changed at the start of June. Instead of releasing new batches of consoles in infrequent waves, the retailer now offers invite-only drops, with customers requesting a slot and keeping a close eye on their email until it comes time to buy. The system is obviously working, because Amazon has just added the Horizon: Forbidden West bundle to its selection of consoles.
You can sign up to request an invite (opens in new tab) to future PS5 restocks including this bundle right now, though it's worth noting that Amazon states it cannot grant all requests. That means it's still a lottery - but you've got a much better chance with this system than the old free for all.
The Horizon Forbidden West PS5 bundle includes the full version of the console with a copy of the second entry in the Horizon story - all at $549.99. That's a bonus $20 discount on the $69.99 game when added to the $499.99 cost of the console. With Prime Day PS5 deals on the horizon, we could be seeing some serious movement here in the next few weeks.
PS5 restocks have been quiet for the last few weeks, with only Sam's Club and Sony Direct making moves - and only in the last couple of days. That means any chance to scoop up your own console is welcome right now, especially considering Walmart has been quiet for a considerable amount of time.

However, you're still only requesting an invite to Amazon's next PS5 restock, so keep a close eye on your email.
