PS5 Restocks have been decent this month, with quite a few drops happening from many big retailers. Most of these drops have been coming from Sonys Playstation Direct service, with two PS5 restocks in the bag already this month and another landing today.
Today (23rd March) is the lucky day for any of you who have received an invitation from Playstation Direct. If you haven't already checked your emails, check them now because you may have missed out on an opportunity to get your hands on ever-elusive PS5.
This is Sony's third invitation to PS5 restock this month, making them the most consistent at offering more consoles. If you haven't already signed up, we highly recommend doing so now, as you never know when you could receive an email. Additionally, you don't need to pay a subscription fee, something that has become a trend with many major retailers in the latest PS5 stock drops. To be invited from PlayStation Direct, you need to register with them via your PSN account.
Last week we saw Walmart and Best Buy offer up more PS5 restocks which sold out quickly to no surprise. These consoles were reserved for customers who are signed up for their subscription services, a standard for most major retailers. However, rumours have suggested that Best Buy will be restocking on more consoles in-store this week, so we'd recommend visiting any stores local to you for a chance to get a PS5.
Lastly, we have Amazon, who have been known to hold restocks on the last week of the month, so expect a drop for them any time this week or next. Amazon also confirmed that more drops were coming in the previous restock, so we can expect a restock coming soon. This restock will be for Prime Members only, so if you have been hoping to grab a console from Amazon, you'll need to get yourself a subscription to their Prime.
- Most likely restocks this week (USA): Best Buy | Amazon | GameStop | Walmart | Target

Which PS5 should you buy?
The PS5 launch gave gamers the choice of two consoles, the Digital version and Disk version. Both consoles perform exactly the same. The specs on both the digital and disk version are AMD Zen 2-based CPU, the same 16GB GDDR6 / 256-bit memory, and the same 825GB SSD.
