Second chances don’t come around very often, but if you were hoping to secure a PS5 Pro or an item from the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection you’re in luck. Today (Oct. 10) at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET retailers including Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart will begin taking pre-orders for Sony’s new Pro console, and the limited-edition 30th Anniversary PS5 Slim. 

Unfortunately, the uber-limited PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Bundle won't be restocked and we’re not expecting more stock of the anniversary-edition DualSense Edge or PlayStation Portal. However, the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition will be available, and we’re hopeful that the base DualSense in the retro range will be restocked too. 

PlayStation Direct took pre-orders for the PS5 Pro and the Anniversary Collection last month, with the latter selling out in less than 24 hours. So, don’t miss your chance to secure a limited-edition PS5 Slim, or order the PS5 Pro from your preferred retailer.  

Here at Tom’s Guide, we’ve got a wealth of expertise tracking restocks of difficulty to buy gaming gear, and we’re going to be on hand in this live blog to assist you in securing your new PlayStation hardware. Below are rolling updates and those all-important buying links.

I'm Rory, and I'm an Entertainment Editor here at Tom's Guide. I've been gaming on PlayStation for over 25 years, and have been covering console restocks since the PS5 launched back in November 2020. Over that time, I've developed an in-depth knowledge of how major retailers handle pre-order drops of limited-edition gaming gear, and I'm here to use all that expertise to help you secure a PS5 Pro or PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection item. Let's beat the scalpers!

DualSense could also make an appearance!

While most of the focus today will be on PS hardware, I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that we see a restock of the limited-edition DualSense controller that went up for pre-order back in September. I didn't commit to pre-ordering a pad on that day as I told myself I didn't need it, and unsurprisingly, I'm now regretting that decision. While nothing is confirmed yet, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a restock. 

That didn't take very long...

Whelp, I did say it would sell out in literally seconds. The limited-edition PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition is now sold out on Amazon U.K., the retailer's stock lasted mere moments, perhaps indicating that the supplied allocation to retailers beyond PlayStation Direct has been pretty small. Fortunately, the PS5 Pro is still in stock, so at least you can score the most powerful PlayStation as a consolation prize. 

PS5 Pro pre-orders are now LIVE at Amazon UK

U.K. gamers, you'll be pleased to know that pre-orders for the PS5 Pro and the PS5 Slim in that glorious retro-fueled gray are now live on Amazon. The latter will sell out in literally seconds, so if you're an Amazon shopper, head over there right now and lock in your pre-order as quickly as possible. You don't have time to waste! 

Will you regret pre-ordering a PS5 Pro?

With today's second wave of PS5 Pro pre-orders still hours away from dropping in the U.S., you might be looking for a little reading to pass the time as you consider whether to commit to the very pricey $699 console. So, why not check out my colleague Dave Meikleham's article discussing why he might already regret his PS5 Pro pre-order? However, for me personally, I've had my order locked in since September 26, and I'm already eagerly counting down the days till November 7. 

PS5 Pro pre-orders are LIVE in the UK

It's still the very early hours of the morning for U.S. folk, but over in the U.K. (where yours truly happens to be located) the day has begun, and more importantly, PS5 Pro pre-orders are live at various retailers including Currys, Argos and Very. 

We've also got a listing for the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition at Very, but the limited-edition bundle appears to have sold out literally moments after the page went live. It looks like the Anniversary gear is again going to super popular. 

PS5 Pro sold out at PlayStation Direct

The PS5 Pro first went on sale over on PlayStation Direct on September 26. During this first pre-order window, when ran exclusively at Sony's own online retailer, the console did not sell out. However, yesterday, a "currently unavailable" notice appeared, and as of 4:15 a.m. ET, the PS5 Pro is sold out at PlayStation Direct. 

The timing of this sell-out does seem a particularly curious coincidence when you consider that the PS5 Pro will be going up for pre-order at additional retailers today, so we'll also be monitoring PS Direct to check the stock situation over there as well. 

There's always one...

PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders are set to go live at 10 a.m. ET, but there's always one retailer that breaks rank and decides to go a little early, and today that's Target. The red-themed retailer has set its listing page for both consoles live, so if Target is your retailer of choice check the buying links above.
