PS5 Pro stock updates: Where to buy Sonys console for GTA 6 without overpaying

You'll be hard-pressed to find a PlayStation 5 Pro in stock right now. Major retailers, including PlayStation Direct, Best Buy, Amazon (including bundle offers), Target, and Walmart, are sold out. With the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the reseller market has gotten a little ridiculous (as has everything else).

Beyond the obvious hype for Rockstar's next release, Sony is dealing with broader supply chain bottlenecks. The global AI boom is squeezing the semiconductor market, which means Sony can't build consoles fast enough. According to distributor reports, these supply constraints could keep stock tight well into 2027.

Naturally, scalpers are having a field day. We've seen third-party listings on reseller sites (and even GameStop's official pre-owned page) gouging buyers for $1,300 to $1,500+ for a console that retails for $899. Sony is taking the issue so seriously that in Japan, they're forcing buyers to enter a lottery — and prove they've clocked at least 60 hours of PS4 or PS5 playtime over the last two years — just for a chance to buy a PS5 Pro.

If you absolutely have to buy one today and have money to burn, here's what the third-party market currently looks like:

Swappa: This is a legitimate, verified marketplace for used tech. However, verified PS5 Pro listings are currently sitting at $1,338.

StockX: The popular resale bidding site currently has the console hovering around $1,290.

Macy's and Walmart: Don't be fooled by third-party sellers on major retail sites.
