30th Anniversary PS5 pre-orders live: all the latest stock updates as they happen

Live Live 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim pre-orders are hitting the shelves When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Here’s how it works. (Image: © Future) We’ve only got a few retailer options left for those hunting down PS5 30th Anniversary pre-orders right now. While the standard PS5 Pro is seeing a healthy supply across the US and UK, those special edition consoles are difficult to get your hands on right now. GameStop is restocking hourly until 3pm ET or when stock runs out, but we’ve also seen late-day success at Walmart for Plus members as well. My advice right now? Keep an eye on GameStop on the hour and keep pushing on Walmart’s pre-order button when it loads. PS5 30th Anniversary pre-orders have sold exceedingly fast today, across both the US and UK. As far as we’re aware right now, this is the only chance shoppers have to secure their consoles - though more stock could go live on release day (November 21). Target kicked things off for us this morning with a 3am drop, but it’s been GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart leading the charge. Amazon is suspiciously silent, having only dropped the standard edition PS5 Pro. I was there when the original console launched all those years ago, wading through websites on the hunt for early pre-order stock. That means I know a thing or two about securing hard-to-find gadgets (I’m pretty sure I was one of the first to actually get their PS5 pre-order over the line when they unexpectedly went live early following the system’s reveal). I’m sharing all that experience with you right here, rounding up the retailers you should hit first and what to do if stock seems to have dried up. If you’re after the full collection of accessories, I’m also rounding up the fullPlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orderselection as well.

However, it’s worth noting that you’ll need to be a Walmart Plus member to have access to this drop, with the doors opening to subscribers from 10am ET tomorrow.Walmart Plus is a paid membership coming in at$98 per year, but if you’re concerned about losing out on stock it’s worth the jump. You’re also getting free delivery on a range of products, exclusive access to early deals, Paramount Plus, and discounts on Burger King.There is a 30 day free trial available but be warned, this willnotgrant you access to early PS5 30th Anniversary pre-orders. The site states that “Walmart Plus paid members can pre-order” so there’s no getting around that fee.This play is one I’ve seen before.

That means things are going to be even more competitive here, though, with stock potentially selling out much faster. The retailer has also just updated their listing to remind customers that they’ll need to be signed into their Best Buy accounts to purchase, so it’s well worth doing this today and making sure you select the ‘always signed in’ option to avoid any slow downs tomorrow.(Image credit: Best Buy) But what about Best Buy?

That means it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where stock is going to land ahead of time. During the PS5 stock rush I even saw the site hiding its stock behind its third party seller scheme, it was still Amazon selling but in order to evade bots it would send you through the marketplace first.You’ve got two options; you can keep checking a specific search term on the site or you can camp on the main PS5 Slimproduct page. The former might see you through to those first few stock waves if Amazon lists the 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim as a separate device entirely. Meanwhile, the latter gives you a shot at early stock if the retailers simply adds it as an alternative colorway to the standard system.At the moment, I would recommend the latter. The standard system has a drop down box listed under ‘Style’ which currently houses a range of bundle options - I’m willing to bet this is where the 30th Anniversary model will show up when it drops tomorrow.(Image credit: Amazon) And then there’s Amazon… Amazon can be sneaky with its listing pages, sometimes keeping them obscured from its main search results with obscure URLs and other strange text.

I found the PS5 in stock incredibly frequently here when the console first launched - and even started using the site as a benchmark as to whether other stores were going to drop their own stock soon. What’s more, this is a fantastic way to get around resellers. If you’ve got a little extra cash to spend I often see Very offering bundles. There’s no cash off the accessories included, but the higher price keeps resellers away and means those units hold their positions on the shelves a lot longer.Amazon is my second pick right now, because it was so fast out the gate with DualSense pre-orders last month. This was the first (and one of the only) sites to launch their own 30th Anniversary Edition stock back in September, so the machine is clearly working here. What about UK shoppers?

Not only are you covered for any last-minute account requirements tomorrow, but you’ll also be able to head through checkout much quicker. Believe it or not, fast-moving items aren’t yours until your payment page is finished - things can still jump out of your cart during that rush through checkout. Anything you can do to speed up that process is going to work heavily your favor.

While it might be worth sticking around until midnight officially rolls around (I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some early stock drops), the real hunt will begin in the morning. If you’re up to it, it’s always worth checking with retailers while the clock is chiming - I pre-ordered my own PS5 when a local retailer opened their doors unexpectedly (pretty much as soon as Geoff Keighley tweeted the details).

Amazon is always sneaky like this, so we can’t tell when the retailer actually will drop those pre-orders. It hasn’t even launched its DualSense stock yet, but is certainly one to watch. This isn’t new behaviour for the site - it was also suspiciously absent during the first few waves of PS5 stock back in the day. What is Amazon doing?

I would seriously recommend lining up these retailers again on release day. You never know how many shoppers will cancel their pre-orders between now and then, and stores that wait to take payment until shipping can often find themselves with even more cancelled orders. Cards decline, payments fail, and people lose the pre-order hype. I often see another wave of stock making the rounds on release day itself for this very reason.
