Blink And Miss: PlayStation 5 Restocking Doesn't Last Long

The registered users were to be notified through emails with details if they had been selected. The offer was made available to customers in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France.

Customers were allowed to join a queue for registering at 4 pm ET on Tuesday. Within an hour, Sony had sold out the PS5 restock, the Verge reported.

The PS5 with a disk drive was offered as a bundle along with the game "Horizon Forbidden West" at a price of $549.99. Given the console is priced at $400, the game was offered at a $20 discount off its price of $69.99.

Sony closed Tuesday's session down 0.82% at $89.03, according to Benzinga Pro data.
