Scouring the web for the best value Playstation 5 prices and deals?

Sign up with this price tracker to monitor PS5 price history and get alerts when the best sales launch online.

These days, the sheer luck you need to score a PS5 has eased. If you’re staying alert and regularly keeping an eye out for bona fide PlayStation 5 bundles, then you’ll eventually get your hands on Sony’s newest, and most sought-after, console.

Now is a better time than any to be keeping an eye out – especially if you sign up for Visualping, a PS5 price tracker that’ll track prices for you and send you price drop alerts when a deal launches online.

While bargains on just the console itself are unlikely, price cuts on games and accessories regularly crop up online, all year long.

There are also still some PS5 Black Friday deals still available, with retailers offering extra bundles for an overall reduced price, too.

But, while it’s less difficult to score the console these days, PS5 bundle deals are in high demand right now. It’s still a good idea to sign up with a price tracker to increase your odds of snagging a good deal before stock on bundles, games and accessories sells out.

Here’s the latest on PS5 restock patterns, deals, and how to get your hands on the best deals available this year.

Is the PS5 Still Out of Stock?

Yes, But Stock Levels are Rising, and You Can Still Save with a Price Tracker

The PlayStation 5 was first released back in November 2020, but it’s still tough securing the console. The global pandemic led to a global chip shortage, which meant many chip manufacturers haven't been able to supply as many semiconductor chips needed for Sony to keep up with gamers’ demand.

Stock levels aren’t expected to improve until 2023.

Still, while it’s still a struggle to simply wrap their hands around a console, that doesn’t mean you can’t still save on your PS5 experience. Especially with the help of a price tracker to get automatically notified on bundle deals, games and accessories that pop up all year long.

Visualping lets you monitor any product pages, from any retailers, for the changes you’re interested in.

Simply choose which product pages you want to track for price changes, and the area of the page you want checked for changes – like the area where the price is listed – and Visualping will notify you, via email, when there’s a change for you to know about.

PS5 Deals: What to Expect Right Now

The future of PS5 bundle deals is looking bright. As well as a general rise in stock, from PS Plus deals to discounts on the best PS5 games, there are plenty of savings on PS5 accessories and games to keep an eye out for.

Whereas, before, gamers were stuck with retailer-only bundles consisting of slightly-adjacent products like monitors or weird accessories. Now, though, cropping up into the mainstream are several bonafide, and official, PS5 bundles worth looking out for.

The rise in stock likely has to do with the holiday shopping season. PS5 bundle deals will make the list of some of the Best Black Friday deals this year has to offer.

While, previously, bundle games were limited to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (with a physical copy of the game), as well as the Horizon Forbidden West bundle, the PS5 bundle scene is booming with games like FIFA, God of War, and Call of Duty getting in on the action.

But that’s not to cancel out retailer-made PS5 bundles altogether. You can still get some awesome retailer-made bundles worth checking out – especially if you're going big on a new-gen upgrade.

It’s a good time to be staying alert and keeping an eye out for the best PS5 bundle deals, games and accessories.

Sign Up with a PS5 Price Tracker

Especially if you stay on top of the latest PS5 deals and act fast, snagging the console and/or deals games and accessories has never been more feasible than it is now.

But PS5 stock is limited – especially for the items with price cuts. The easiest way to stay alert on available deals is to sign up with Visualping, a PS5 price tracker that alerts you when the price changes for a product you’re interested in.

But you can also just monitor any PS5 web pages you want – maybe a retailer’s designated PS5 deals page, to get updates on the latest offers, as they’re launched online.

Simply provide the web pages you want monitored, and Visualping will do the work for you.

How to Get PS5 Price Alerts?

Monitor PS5 Price History with an Easy Price Tracker

Visualping is commonly used for receiving alerts when a particular product goes on sale online – or even for restock alerts when it’s back in stock.

With over 1 million users, it’s a website change detection and monitoring tool that’s been mentioned by NBC, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and Politico, among other press, as a simple and easy-to-use tool for monitoring web page changes.

You can stay on top of changing price tags, and take advantage of restocks, without all the stress and work involved in rechecking these pages yourself over time, and likely missing the updates you want.
How Does it Work?

When it detects a page change – such as the original price crossed out, with the new price next to it – you get an email alert. The alert includes a screenshot of the web page, with all the changes highlighted for you to see.

There’s also a link, at the bottom of the alert, so you can navigate to your monitored page and make your purchase – promptly, before the discount or restock catches on and everyone else rushes to snag the product for themselves.

To check for changes, Visualping takes automatic screenshots of the product page at regular intervals – every 5 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly, daily, etc – and compares each image to the last to check for changes.

Is it Free?

Visualping is free, with several affordable subscription options for higher frequency monitoring. If you’re looking for a product as in-demand as the PS5, for instance, you can automatically check the page every 5 minutes.

Does it Do More Than PS5 Deal Alerts?

Visualping is often used as a back in stock tool to automatically track product availability online. When an item is restocked, savvy online shoppers get alerted.

It can also track changes to any product you want. As well as for the PS5, it’s been used as an Xbox Series X tracker and Nintendo Switched OLED tracker.

And getting setup is easy.
