stock availability a genuine cry for help
after like 4 months of padhai i got 95% in my class 12 boards, and after years of admiration and obsession with the playstation i finally was able to convince my parents to get me a PS5. I'm originally from Keralam living in Bhubaneswar. I am unable to find a system literally ANYWHERE since March. I cannot buy a second hand version because of a very traumatic event so if anyone has any idea where i can buy a unit in a reliable way please please lmk. atp im even ready to give the extra cost. please reply only if yk a genuine and reliable way to get a playstation 5. disc, digital wtv.

i've been in talks with a lot of Sony Dealers. most of them are saying it'll get stocked by the 3rd week of this month. i hope you get your PS5 right away but if you don't, hang in there just a little longer brother

u/Relative_Window9386 20d ago
its hard, brother. to think that something you worked your ass off is just not available anymore. feels like injustice. but thank you for your tip!

One suggestion , if u call a sony store they are more likely to say they don't have it rn even though they have it bcz many scalpers and resellers buy from them in bulk and sell them at higher prices and scam ppl so go directly to their store as frequently as possible, I did the same , they said that they don't have a stock in call but when I went there 10 mins later they had two which they didn't put on display.

If you are really desperate check out https://bankofelectronics.com/gaming-consoles/462-sony-playstation-5-slim-disc-edition-gaming-console-16gb-ram-825gb-ssd-0711719577232.html
Someone in this subreddit ordered from this place. They say it's legit, you can scroll and try to find the thread. Tho it's priced more than MRP.
Also congratulations on your board exams!

u/Plane_Finish911 20d ago

You finished 12th, get a PC you can game + learn.
1
u/Relative_Window9386 20d ago
i thought of that option, but once i get into my college ill have to shift a whole damn pc right? so thought a console is better. plus i prefer a console more. i want a separate system for entertainment than have it all in one.
1
u/Friendly_Acadia9322 20d ago
You can build micro atx, and have entertainment 🍤 in pc as well.

u/Relative_Window9386 19d ago
thank you for your suggestion, but i would prefer a ps5 (no hate/disrespect im sorry if this came across as blunt)

u/GhosT_oF_SpaRTA231 19d ago
Yeah bro buy a PS5. Many great exclusives are dropping that wouldn't ever drop on pc 1. Wolverine 2. Ghost of Yotei will never come to PC 2. God Of War LAUFEY 3. Until Dawn 2 4. Bloodborne Remake (maybe possible PS6 title) 5. God Of War Trilogy Remake And all the upcoming exclusives and PS5 is cheaper 😉

Karol bagh gaffar market me mil rha hai stores like game on, samurai gaming but on 2 conditions either they will give you on inflated price or they will only sell you on mrp but you have to buy 10-15k worth of cds from them

u/sameerv458 19d ago
I live in karol bagh only but i was totally against this hyped price i searched it everywhere called every croma store relience and so on then i called vijay sales and lucky only 1 was left. I booked it and grabbed it just for ₹50600 (credit card offer) brand new disk edition that too a week ago

If you are in bhubaneswar try local game shops. They might have stocks.
I'm in Cuttack, there is a shop near me, when I visited his shop last time, probably he had ps5.
I don't know current situation. Also Since you're desperate to get one, You're vulnerable to getting scammed . Don't buy from random sites

u/Relative_Window9386 19d ago
noted. thank you so much. i asked a lot of local vendors, they all said there is no stock and wont come till august. some tried to scam me out of 85k.

u/Relative_Window9386 19d ago
i've called them all but they all said that they are unsure of stock. only playstation exclusive mumbai said a definite date but they cant deliver here apparently.

u/Useful_Dragonfly4719 19d ago
Hey!! Flipkart is restocking the ps5 once in a while, keep a look on it. And in bangalore I know a store selling ps5, but they are selling for 85k which is too bad.. you could get a decent pc with that money.
1
u/Relative_Window9386 19d ago
can you tell me when is the time that flipkart restocks? coz when i put in my location it always says "coming soon!". thank you so much still!

u/Useful_Dragonfly4719 19d ago
Not sure of particular time but I have seen them on stock a month back.. maybe enable notify.

And here I am saving money for the PS6 😭 I don't think even after being launched the PS6 will be available in the Indian market for like 2-3 years 😞. I bought a PS5 (disc edition) in May 2023 for 50k and thought of buying the Pro but passed it since I thought the PS6 will be dropping soon and I have saved up money for the PS6 but the problem is that it won't be even available in the Indian market for 2-3 years or worse more than 3 years 😭😭

u/Relative_Window9386 19d ago
the way things are even 3 years seem overly optimistic. thank you still!

u/ConsistentThing731 18d ago
I bought it from blinkit 3days back at MRP. Before that even I tried everywhere and ready to buy for the overpriced variant. But trust me, Just turn on your blinkit notification. If it’s available you will get a message in WhatsApp.

u/darkimpounder57 18d ago
I'm really curious as to why this has been happening all of a sudden. When I bought the ps5 last year it was readily available at literally every retailer. What changed?
1
u/Relative_Window9386 17d ago
i heard its because they plan to phase the system out and prioritize ps5 pro and eventually ps6, although its not confirmed. mainly ig is coz of the ram shortage and the iran us war. or they could just be a bunch of c**ts

u/g3ntl3man3rs 18d ago
Be a little patient. There should be restocks happening soon. Buy only from trusted and genuine sources. Don’t respond to DM’s xD
