Not much has changed since our last PS5 update, although console trackers are suggesting that at least one restock might be on the cards.
Here is a breakdown of the latest information.
Best Buy PS5 Restock
Reputable industry analyst Matt Swider has reported that a PS5 drop could be taking place sometime this week at Best Buy.
His sources (who are in charge of console inventory for the retail chain) have indicated that the "add-to-cart" button might be going live in the coming days. While this could just be a rumor, Swider's contacts rarely steer him wrong when it comes to these things, and he has accurately predicted the last few restocks.
Newsweek will continue to monitor the situation and update you if anything more concrete is announced.
In addition to keeping up with our coverage, you should also follow Swider on Twitter, as he has a direct line to those who manage Best Buy's stocks.

Walmart PS5 Restock
Walmart only just replenished its inventory on Thursday, so it is unlikely to be doing it again soon.
As always, you can buy from independent resellers on the website, but these second-hand units are incredibly costly. Even the cheaper, digital edition PS5 is being traded for an extortionate $910 at the time of writing. For reference, that model ought to be priced at $399 according to the manufacturer.
For this reason, you should probably wait for the next official Walmart drop to get a fairer deal. The merchant rarely deviates from its Thursday 3 p.m. ET slot when it comes to PS5 restocks, so keep an eye on their social media channels around then.

GameStop PS5 Restock
Both the disc and digital edition of the PS5 are sold out at GameStop.
Lately, we have noticed a trend with the outlet reserving sale exclusively for its "PowerUp Rewards Pro" customers. This has applied to their last few drops and it has prevented any other shoppers from being able to place an order.
If this restriction is going to become permanent, then it might be worth joining the scheme to ensure that you are eligible for the next restock. On that note, you can sign up as a PowerUp Pro member for $14.99 on the GameStop website.

Target PS5 Restock
This Friday will mark two weeks since Target was last offering the PS5.
Although there has been no official confirmation of another restock going ahead, most outlets tend to replenish their inventory on a fortnightly basis.
There is consequently a slim chance that Target could be getting new supplies on August 13, but this is far from guaranteed.

Antonline PS5 Restock
Antonline released a new PS5 bundle on Thursday, but these supplies were rapidly depleted.
If you are not picky about which next-gen console you own, there are several options for getting an Xbox Series S from the retailer. To find out more about these deals, read our recent update on the availability of Microsoft's rival hardware.

PS Direct PS5 Restock
We often find out about Sony restocks ahead of time, thanks to their habit of sending out email notifications.
For context, PS Direct usually invites randomly selected customers to join their virtual queue early and, in the process, it lets them know when the "add to cart button" is going live.
There have been no reports of any such emails being delivered lately, which means that the next restock is still a way off.

Newegg PS5 Restock
A Newegg shuffle was running on Thursday with a PS5 bundle included.
In case you are unfamiliar with how this works, shuffles are essentially lottery draws that Newegg uses to distribute its most popular items (like next-gen consoles or gaming PC components). They are generally considered to be fairer than the standard virtual queues used by most other retailers, as they cannot be so easily exploited by scalpers.
To be alerted when the next PS5 Newegg shuffle opens, follow dedicated console trackers like @mattswider and @GYXdeals on Twitter.

Amazon PS5 Restock
You are currently unable to add a PS5 to your Amazon basket and there is no word on when the next restock will occur.

Costco PS5 Restock
It has been a while since Costco had PS5s in stock, but if the retailer ever updates its inventory than @mattswider and @GYXdeals will inform their followers.
