While PlayStation has still out of stock after its release for nearly a year, we are still waiting for PlayStation 5 restock. Many retailers are preparing for PlayStation 5 restock, and one such retailer is Gamestop. In this article, we will be looking at Playstation 5 Gamestop Price and everything you need to know. The latest generation of PlayStation, the PlayStation 5, was released as a home video game console by Sony Interactive Entertainment. After announcing in 2019 as the successor of PlayStation 4, the PS5 was released on November 12, 2020, for nations like Australia, Japan, New Zealand, North America, and South Korea. Following a week of its initial launch, the PS5 was made worldwide available.
The PS5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Series S are part of the ninth generation of video game consoles. This time, PS5 comes with two variants; one only has the digital version, where gamers need to download the games to play, while the other has an option to use physical disks. As we could guess, the digital version is the more lower-cost model. Both of the variants of PS5 were launched simultaneously. This time Sony has brought SSD to PS4, customized for high-speed data streaming and bringing significant improvements in storage performance.
As for the graphics, there is the GPU from AMD, capable of 4K output at 120 frames per second, accompanied with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Tempest Engine for hardware-accelerated 3D audio effects. Further to improve the gaming experience, Sony also brings the DualSense controller with haptic feedback and backward compatibility.

Playstation 5 Gamestop Price
As we had recently heard from the rumors, we may see PS5 in major retailers. While many retailers will be pretty soon having PlayStation 5 restock, we will be focusing more on PlayStation 5 GameStop price. You will be able to buy the Digital Edition of PS5 from GameStop for $400, Blu-ray for $500. Along with the PS5, the users can also buy the full range of PS5 accessories from GameStop, such as the Pulse 3D wireless headset, for $100.
Why is PS5 hard to get?
Another reason could be the Global Chip Shortage issue. This has affected the gaming industry, but it has also affected almost every industry, including the Auto industry and Smartphone industry. But Sony has promised that they have secured enough chips to meet the requirements. For an idea, they have reserved chipsets for almost 14.8 million consoles for the fiscal year.
Another reason is a sad thing to say to be honest, as there are bulk purchases from the bots to sell the PS5 on the black market. Usually, fans are forced to pay twice or thrice the original price. While there have been various measures from Sony and other retailers to block the bot’s, they are still not going anywhere.
