Verizon has PS5 consoles in stock for Christmas – but there is a catch

GAMERS wanting to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 for Christmas have another avenue to explore thanks to Verizon.

The catch? You have to be an existing Verizon customer, and it’s first-come, first-served.

Verizon will now be selling #PS5 Disc and Digital Edition Consoles!

PS5 stock tracking account, @LordOfRestocks, noticed the listing for the PS5 standard and PS5 Digital Edition on the carrier’s website.

Verizon follows in the footsteps of UK carriers BT and EE, who often stock the PS5 for customers.

Oftentimes the consoles are offered as a bonus alongside phone or broadband contracts.

Verizon confirmed that it’ll be getting in on the console-selling action to PCMag.

Although it didn’t indicate when exactly people will be able to buy it.

“In the near future, Verizon will be selling a very limited quantity of Sony PlayStation 5 consoles in a handful of pilot stores and online

“Inventory will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.”


The caveat here is that you need to be a Verizon customer just for the chance to buy one, and even then it’s not a guarantee.

“Online customers must have an existing, post-paid Verizon wireless account to purchase a PS5 console online, subject to availability and existing inventory,” the spokesperson elaborated.

We’d like to think customers will get the heads up before the stock drops, but it’s worth following its socials.

BT and EE alert customers via their Twitter accounts, so if you’re an existing Verizon customer, be sure to turn on notifications.

Retailers know how desperate gamers are getting for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, which are still in short supply a year after launch.

Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy have all got reward programs that bestow early or exclusive access to both consoles when they have a restock.

Walmart+ – sign up for $12.95/ month or $98/ yearGameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro – sign up for $14.99/yearBest Buy Totaltech – sign up for $199.99/year

The prices vary, and in some cases, the free trial doesn’t make you eligible – you need to sign up for the full scheme.

It seems that just shopping for a PS5 is going to cost you, but until the semi-conductor shortage is over, this will be the norm for a while.
