YMMV PlayStation 5 825GB Gaming Console, Standard Edition, $500 w/Personal Shopper at Adorama

The website shows "OUT OF STOCK", but you can purchase through the phone. I got mine today, receipt shown in pic [imgur.com]. Order status here [imgur.com]

I got a phone call from my personal shopper J.T. at Adorama.com today, and he told me PS5 is back in stock. $499.99 for standard edition (with bluray player) but only available via the phone. Limited one per customer.

Check your email account and look for email regarding "Adorama personal shopper program" in the past 2 months, typically they will leave a phone number in it. Call them back, they probably still have some PS5 in stock in the next few days.

Adorama started to offer "personal shopper" services started last November. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get this service, I got the first email from my personal shopper right after I spent $10 at Adorama.com last month. This was the only purchase I made last year.

I know a lot of people would hate this "deal" because it is highly YMMV. But I am just sharing my experience on how I got a regular-priced PS5, hope it can help.

Please share your experience if you successfully purchased one through the phone.

I got the "personal shopper" service because I purchased a $5 webcam on Adorama.com. You really don't need to spend a whole lot of money to have it...

Wow. I remember when it used to be just a 1TB PS5 Disc and Digital version. Now Sony's releasing a 825GB PS5 Standard Edition. Still doesn't make it easier to get.

PS5 has always been 825GB. Only Xbox Series X has 1TB version.

Its a deal because you're not paying 100s over retail.

Pretty sure that's been the size of the SSD on the PS5 since release. The PS4 did come with either a 500GB or 1TB options, but those were HDD options. The first thing I did was swap that out for an SSD (like 40 some odd years ago when the PS4 was released Confused).
