Best Buy will have more next-gen consoles for sale on Tuesday, giving those looking to score a new PlayStation or Xbox before Christmas another shot.
The sale will “go live sometime after 8 a.m. Central Time” (9 a.m. ET, 6 a.m. PT) the company writes in a blog post. Those PS5 and Xbox consoles will be sold online only, though they can be picked up at a Best Buy store using the retailer’s curbside pickup option.
Here are the links to the company’s pages for all four consoles:
- PlayStation 5 with disc ($500)
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition ($400)
- Xbox Series X ($500)
- Xbox Series S ($300)
Despite going on sale over a month ago, the new PlayStations and Xboxes remain incredibly difficult to find. Best Buy’s tweet announcing that it will have more stock on Tuesday was retweeted over 1,600 times within 50 minutes of going out.
Heads up—we’re getting more NextGen consoles very soon! Check back tomorrow after 8 a.m. CT to see what we have in stock. https://t.co/1Isajk4QLL pic.twitter.com/dbeetPgJ5b

It wasn’t immediately clear how much stock of either system would be available or if Best Buy would be placing those interested in a virtual queue similar to Sony’s approach for controlling traffic when selling the PlayStation 5 directly on its website. CNET has reached out to Best Buy and will update if the company responds.
