PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition pre-orders have consistently sold out in minutes when we've had stock go up. That said, we're still hopeful of some action in the future, and we're on the lookout for rogue restocks for the Slim model between now and launch day, as well as with PS5 Pro pre-orders and PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orders.
While we have no guarantee of consistent stock drops for the PS5 Slim and the 30th Anniversary DualSense, we'll endeavor to be on the lookout for flash restocks nonetheless. With the pre-order window racing toward launch day now (November 21) we've even seen some retailers advising to check back on that date.
Plus, we'll also use this guide to recommend your next best steps in case you weren't able to pre-order the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition.
