Save Payment Information Beforehand
It goes without saying that saving your payment information is of paramount importance when time is running out. Saving payment information is basically a no-brainer, especially when it comes to something like getting your hands on a PlayStation 5. We all know how quickly this console runs out of stock so, make sure to save your payment information on each of the stores it may be available on.
Using Bots
First and foremost, keep multiple tabs open on your laptop or desktop for quick access to all the stores. Additionally, a very smart thing to do would be to take the help of a bot. Several dedicated members of the PS5 India community have come up with bots that notify you as soon as the new PS5 restock update takes place.
In addition, you can also use certain browser extensions which allows you to keep track of the various store pages efficiently. Further, there is also a PlayStation India discord server which helps potential buyers of PS5 get their hands on the next-gen console.
Best Retailer to Pre-Book PS5
Going by previous restock update records, Reliance Digital had the lowest customer satisfaction levels when it came to PS5 restocks. The retailer cancelled order before confirming with the buyer and this led to a lot of issues. Ultimately, it is quite possibly the not-so-great retailer to rely upon when it comes to PS5 deliveries.

In addition, Flipkart has had certain similar issues but, on a much smaller scale. So, it can still be trusted with PS5 deliveries. Moreover, Games The Shop has also faced a lot of issues alongside Reliance Digital. This was primarily because their site crashed terribly during the pre-bookings which caused a lot of people to miss out on the new PS5 restocks.
Further, an informal poll was carried out which resulted in Amazon emerging as the most reliable retailer. Customers who pre-ordered via Amazon faced little to no issues when doing so, as per the poll. So, yes, Amazon India might be your best bet in getting your hands on the next-gen console.
