If you missed the restock for the $500 PS5 with a disc drive earlier this morning, Target has now restocked the PS5 Digital Edition, while supplies last.

Looking at the product listing for the product, it appears Target is not shipping the item to your home address, but rather you have to choose in-store pickup. Once stores are out of stock, you likely will have to wait until the next stock drop to place an order.

$400

Sony’s flagship next-gen console, starting at $399.99. The biggest difference between both models is the Digital Edition can only play digital games, while the $500 PS5 includes a disc drive, allowing you to play both digital and physical games.

Once you have your PS5, you may want to consider buying some additional accessories not included with the console so you can get the most out of your new gadget; this includes an extra DualSense controller.

$49

The controller designed for the PS5, featuring adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, and haptic feedback technologies.

There’s also a ton of PS5 games right now, including Demon’s Souls Remake by Bluepoint Games or the third-party blockbuster titles like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Watch Dogs: Legion.

$30

A remake of the 2009 game Demon’s Souls by FromSoftware, rebuilt from the ground up by Bluepoint Games.

I also recommend buying a one-year membership to PlayStation Plus, as the perks of having a subscription are great for PS5 users. Most notably, it nets you access to the PlayStation Plus Collection, an exclusive perk for PS5 owners that provides access to “generation-defining” titles that were released originally on PS4, including Bloodborne, Persona 5, and Uncharted IV: A Thief’s End.

$60

A membership to PlayStation Plus Essential allows PlayStation 4 and PS5 owners to play games online, download free titles every month, use cloud save backups, and take advantage of discounts on the PS Store.
