Update March 26th, 2021 2:52PM ET: Best Buy has sold all of its PS5 stock for the day.

Best Buy has another round of restocks for Sony’s next-generation console, the PS5. You can buy both the PS5, which includes a disc drive right now, while supplies last.

Due to the high demand for these gadgets, Best Buy is curbing the demand by releasing small waves of stock every few minutes. If you don’t see it in stock immediately, it’s smart to check back every few minutes to see if more show up.

$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 your new console is secured, you might want to start looking into which games you want to add to your collection. The PS5 is home to some of the most popular titles right now, such as Watch Dogs Legion or Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The console also has some highly anticipated titles arriving for the system in the next few months, such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Resident Evil Village.

$50

The second Spider-Man game developed by Insomniac Games. Instead of focusing on Peter Parker, this installment lets you control Miles Morales. This version also includes a remastered version of the PS4 game Spider-Man from 2018 that’s optimized for PS5.

A subscription to PlayStation Plus is a good purchase. But you’re not just paying to play most games (excluding free-to-play titles) online, as PS5 users with an active PS Plus subscription also have access to a digital library called the PlayStation Plus Collection, which features various first- and third-party titles released during the PS4’s life span.

PlayStation Plus card
$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.

If you want a TV that will take full advantage of your new hardware, there are a few TV options available. Including TCL’s new 6-series line of TVs. These 4K TVs support 120Hz gaming thanks to their HDMI 2.1 ports.

$698

Part of TCL’s 6-Series line, which features 4K HDR, Mini LED backlighting, and four HDMI ports. Unlike the latest model, the R635 runs on Roku’s TV platform and lacks some of the more recent upgrades, including support for 4K gaming at 120Hz.
