Sony’s got another queue to buy the PS5, and it’s open now

theverge.com:

After two straight days of afternoon public restocks for the PlayStation 5, Sony is going for the three-peat. The console maker has opened up another public queue to buy PS5 consoles, and you can join in right now. Pending availability after you get through the queue, you may have the chance to buy a standard PS5 for $499.99, a Digital Edition for $399.99, or a bundle of either with a digital voucher for a download of Horizon Forbidden Westfor an additional $50 (which is a discount, by the way). I’d wager on the bundles having the most availability.

We have seen the last two restocks from Sony remain open for a few hours, with many people having easy success buying consoles. You’ll just need to sign in with your PlayStation Network account (one console per account), and if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus, you’ll get free shipping. Here’s hoping availability is opening up enough that one day we won’t even need digital queues. In the meantime, best of luck on buying your PS5 today.

Sony’s flagship next-gen console, which includes a disc drive, allows you to play both digital and physical games for the PS4 and PS5.

Any new console needs games and some essential accessories that don’t come in the box. Here are a few we suggest.

Anybody feel like some grape jelly? This DualSense controller features a deep purple color accented by the black of its two-tone styling.

The crimson-toned cover gives the PS5 a deeply bold look without dialing up the vibrancy too much.

Sony’s own wireless gaming headset is made to showcase the PS5’s 3D audio effect and also works on the PS4.
