Today we're taking a peek at rumored stores for Sony PlayStation 5 restock both online and in-person at brick and mortar stores. At the moment, reports of restocks are largely rumors, and an official release schedule has not yet been revealed by any one retailer. By the time you read this article, though, this may have changed!
If you were one of the lucky few to gain access to a Sony PlayStation 5 order in the recent past, check again. It would appear that some consumers attempting to order from Sony Direct are now getting emails about shipping delays. This isn't particularly uncommon, when it comes to shipping basically anything here as we get closer to the holiday season - but it could be bad news for those hoping to get a PlayStation 5 any time soon.
Here near the end of September of 2021, Best Buy revealed their latest PlayStation 5 restock list with the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series X along for the ride. This list shows a set of physical store locations where the next-gen consoles will be available for sale starting on Thursday, September 23, 2021 across the United States. If you're reading this in the future (after store opening in the USA) there's still a chance you might find one of these consoles, assuming you live in an area that doesn't have a massive gamer population.
Best Buy stores are reportedly ready to release PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles in the USA this week. This would be the first time PlayStation 5 (PS5) would be released in a physical store in the USA at a major-label non-club retailer in the year 2021. It's been a long, weird journey since the two mega-popular gaming consoles were released, and this might be the first real sign that we're headed back to a normal world (as far as console sales in stores are concerned.)
![NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series restocks this week [UPDATE]](https://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/nvidia_geforce_rtx_3070_review_slashgear_01b-1280x720.jpg)
This week Best Buy announced they'd be restocking NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards at physical store locations. If you're looking for a graphics card of the RTX variety, Best Buy's release this week will require that you stop by a local Best Buy store to purchase said cards. The process begins in the morning of Thursday, August 26, 2021, and it'll only be at a limited set of stores.
TCL revealed a line of Google TV devices this week to add to their already-significant collection of smart TV units with Roku or Android TV. They've revealed both pricing and availability for their first Google TV smart TV units across both "premium and award-winning 5- and 6-Series" lines. There are TCL 5-Series models with Google TV out on "presale" now, including 50, 55, 65, and 75-inch models. TCL 6-Series models with Google TV were put on presale today in 55 and 65-inch models, with a 75-inch model coming soon.
The retail powerhouse team-up between Best Buy and Amazon continues with a new line of Insignia-branded smart TV sets. These newest sets will launch later this year alongside Best Buy Toshiba-branded Fire TVs with features that are ever-so-slightly better than their predecessors. The Insignia F50 Series Fire TVs are the first of the line branded with "Fire TV" instead of "Fire TV Edition" - and that could be an important distinction in the coming years.
If you're looking for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series graphics card, Best Buy appears to be the place to go this week. They've announced that they'll have "limited quantities" of the card family in physical store locations on Tuesday, the 20th of July, 2021. If you have access to one of these stores, there's a chance - not a guarantee, but a chance - that you may be able to purchase one of these cards at standard retail price.
A set of retailers are expected to get new stock of the Sony PlayStation 5 this week at Best Buy, Target, Walmart and others. If you're searching for an in-store drop, make a call to your local GameStop first. Target and Best Buy may also get consoles in stock, but it's entirely possible they will not be made available to the general public - depending on store policy.
If you've been thinking of picking up Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G lately, then you might like to know that the phone is now available in a new color. Samsung today announced that the phone will now be available in Navy Blue, adding to the black, gray, and white colors the phone was already available in. Unfortunately, the navy Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is only available at a specific retailer, so you'll need to buy through them if you want it.
If you're looking for either the PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X, this might be your lucky week. Target was tipped to get stock of both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 this week, likely on Wednesday, the 19th of May, 2021. Both Best Buy and Walmart COULD get stock at around the same time - though we've not gotten a direct tip on either, generally one follows the other, and the Target release is very, very likely.
Amazon and Best Buy revealed a new set of Toshiba television sets with Fire TV smart TV software. These televisions are all in the Toshiba C350 series, rolling with Dolby Vision HDR, HDR10, and DTS Virtual: X. This line of televisions will eventually be made available in five different sizes at Best Buy and from Amazon online.
