Reserve a PS5: PlayStation 5 Console, $500
Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to score deals on your favorite gaming devices, gaming chairs, gaming computer monitors and TVs. The PS5 is not included as one of Amazon's Prime Day deals. But that just means that anyone can reserve a PlayStation 5 at Amazon today, not just Prime members.
Amazon has switched up the way you order a PS5. The retail giant has switched to an invitation-based system. According to Amazon, the reason behind the switch "is to help prevent inventory shortages and price gouging caused by robot traffic."
From now on you'll need an invitation to buy a PlayStation 5 (disc edition) from Amazon. Keep reading to learn how to score an invite and reserve a PlayStation 5 at Amazon during Amazon Prime Day 2022 -- or any other day, for that matter.
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to reserve a PlayStation 5 on Amazon during Prime Day?
Amazon has historically given priority to Amazon Prime members during PlayStation 5 restocks. However, you don't need an Amazon Prime membership to request an invitation. All you need is an Amazon account.

How to reserve a PlayStation 5 at Amazon during Prime Day
The PlayStation 5 is now available by invitation only on Amazon. Those invited to purchase will get an email with a purchase link that's valid for 72 hours.
That said, the retailer warns it won't be able to grant all requests.
Amazon Prime members can now request an invitation. The process of requesting an invitation to buy a PS5 is fairly simple. You'll need to:
Visit Amazon's PS5 page.
Click the "Request Invitation" button.
If you are not signed in to your Amazon account, you will be taken to the login page before your request is confirmed.
That's it. Requesting an invite only takes a moment, so put in your request now.
