Yes. Between 11am and 12:05pm. No promises? But that’s the most likely time.

The last 3 Amazon drops the PS5 kept disappearing when I tried to checkout after adding to cart. I also tried Buy Now. It's impossible. Not sure if there's a secret to getting it. I'm a long time Prime customer too. Infuriating

Thanks for being here for all of us that are trying to purchase the next gen console at price and those that have the patience to wait. Because of you I have both systems now, to include the Xbox Series X. I received my PS5 from Walmart on March 23rd after purchasing on the Last Walmart+ release (Mar. 14th). I refuse to fall prey to the resellers and their ridiculous prices.

I am writing to tell you and all your followers to subscribe and stay on top of all of your live streams. Before I was a paid subscriber I would just google "PS5 restock" and bounce around all the store's apps hoping for a restock by chance. Of course it never happened because I was not aware of the restock times or the most efficient ways. Then I found your name during a google search and that's when I became educated, to say the least. Then I became a paid subscriber to the shortcut.com on March 13th, watched your live stream on March 14th for Walmart+ drop and then followed your instructions!!!! As mentioned above I received my PS5 and have been playing on the system since.

Now I just watch your live streams to support what you do! Thanks!!

Hey Matt! Paid subscriber - you're the best! Are you doing an amazon livestream today, or should I just refresh the disc page every now and then from 8-9:05 pst today?

I finally scored a PS5 Disc this morning, from BJ's Wholesale Club, of all places. Wasn't even on my radar. Needed a $55 annual membership, but sign-up and checkout was a breeze (no shenanigans required). Of course it's sold out by now.

Sure. I'll do a livestream on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/mattswider to run you through it in advance of 11am ET. I think it'll be difficult to get because stock of Digital is always limited. Your best bet for the Amazon PS5 restock is to:

1. Ensure you have your credit card and address up to date. No time to fiddle with that at checkout.

2. Click "Add to cart," and if that's not present, "See all buying options." Hopefully it appears in a slide-out menu. If that isn't present, click "Add to list" to add it to your Wish List." A pop-up menu will appear allowing you to click "View List." This brings you to your Wish List and away from the PS5 product page that's being hammered. From that list, click Add to cart (the PS5 will be the top entry on that list). Try to check out as quickly as possible.

3. Give it 30 mins of dedicated time and refreshing. Keep trying. Most people give up and THEN I see people reply "Just got it" over and over. It's when people give up that it becomes easier to get.

Any other questions? Thanks for being a paid member! 💝

Ah, it won't be in stock until Wednesday (tomorrow at this point). The article mentions 11am ET / 8am PT. You'll have to be fast.
