PS5 restocks at Amazon just got significantly better - here's how to sign up

techradar.com:

Amazon has introduced a new invite-only system for its PS5 restock — one that should finally give you a better chance to buy the PS5 from the mega-retailer if all of your previous attempts have ended in failure. Better still, you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to register your details, either.

All you need to do to sign up is head over to the PS5 store page at Amazon(opens in new tab). Log in to your account and then you will see the option to request an invitation where the add to cart button is usually found. 

Hit that and Amazon will send you an email with an exclusive link to buy the PS5 the next time the console is in stock. Be aware, though, that the link is only active for 72 hours and does not guarantee you a console as they cannot fulfill all requests. We fully expect the PS5 will sell out very early in that time window so you need to move fast when you get the alert. At least it's much better than the randomly timed free-for-alls that Amazon usually holds for the PS5 every couple of months.

PS5: request an invite to the next PS5 restock at Amazon(opens in new tab) Amazon has completely changed how it handles PS5 restocks in the US. You can now request an invitation to buy the PS5 console and will be sent an email with an exclusive link when it's next available. You have up to 72 hours to make use of your invite, but it doesn't guarantee you a console so you'll need to use it quickly. In another change, the option to buy a PS5 is no longer exclusively available to Amazon Prime members.

Registration is only open for the standard PS5 console right now and it's unclear if it will be added for the PS5 Digital Edition. Amazon has said, however, that it will soon add the option to sign up for alerts for its Xbox
