Context :-
Ive been searching for a ps5 for the past 3 months in Bangalore.
Im based out of south bangalore, Ive been a part of 3 whatsapp groups, called 17 stores constantly across bangalore over the span of 1 month and visited 15 stores offline.

I finally got my ps5. Got it at croma yelehanka, i got the 1TB Disc version, and i got my friend one the same day too at the same shop. Honestly speaking its all about stratergy and a lot of luck.

This search has given me so much information which can probably help you guys looking for the ps5 out there too.

Updates:-
- A major bangalore restocking will happen this friday (3rd July) (confirmed by sony center kalyanagar and croma yelahanka and croma RT Nagar) This will the probably be the last restock on the orignal msrp.
- Sony will be soon announcing a price hike or reduced storage for same price. (Mentioned by Sony indiranagar + brigade road) (i had to buy the sales rep his sut*a outside to get this info)
- There might be another smaller restock between july 10th to 15th (Mentioned by Sony Indiranagar + Vijayasales**)**

Potential Stock Leads:-
This is all the information ive gotten from talking to people who actually WORK there (yes i've gone to all of the mention stores below) Take this with a grain of salt.

- Sony kalyanagar 1st week 3rd July + 15th July)
- Sony Yellahanka 3rd july
- Sony indiranagar 1st-2nd july (ask for salesrep raj)
- Croma 3rd july (chroma might still have some units lefts, you can check today)
- Vijaya sales pan bangalore 1st week
- Reliance pan bangalore 1st week
- Mall of asia might have stock left but will restock 3rd
- Zepto and blinkit (1st and 2nd in south bangalore) very few units tho
- Flipkart has digital in stock as of now, disc will be stocked 1st-3rd.
- Sony brigade road - random in july (the shop guy is lowkey rude)
- Venus games - random in july (Ask for chirag)
Priority
offline stores (croma > sony > reliance> vijiya) > zepto/blinkit > flipkart > amazon > random bundles > used

Do's

1. Always visit stores.
   calling never worked and checking online never worked either. they always tell you its never available or asked for my name for calling incase the stock never shows up. I did this for a month or two. Going to the store is what worked.

2. Always be polite and insist on checking for stock.
   When you visit offline stores and theyusually tell you that they dont have stock, be nice. ask them very politely to double check. this is what got me my ps5 today.

3. Morning visits are the best
   Go to the stores in the morning. maybe it the mood? visited stores in the morning somehow always was positive for me. All the ps5 i helped people get was in the mornings.

4. Keep zepto and blinkit notifications ON
   Zepto and blinkit notification till 3rd. Watch them like a hawk. And watch

Donts

1. Unauthorized Bundles
   Ive come across so many scams. people try to push random bundle. please dont. if really want to sure, but wait for the stock drop on the 3rd.

2. Prebook/advance only at legit retailers
   Vijayasales, croma, reliance, sony ONLY. dont pay advances anywhere else.

What worked for me:-
Random visit to stores. I never expected to buy it that day. no one posted about buying one in blr that day too. I had zero hope, i went cuz i was bored. but there were 4 units ready to be sold. VISIT STORES GUYS, espicially croma they atleast check internally, reliance folks just kicked me out saying no stock lmao.

My advice:-
Gear up on 3rd of july. Go in the mornings. visit atleast 5 stores that day. this maybe the last restock before the price hike. till then keep looking at zepto blinkit and flipkart.

Hope yall win the ps5 hungergames. Feel free to reach out to me if yall have any doubts.
Hope this helps : )

Someone help me cop a digital in bangalore if they have any connections or info or someone sell me an sealed and fully new ps5 slim digital at mrp pls. Uff im fed up of looking for it from a month uff

Please post here , if anyone has any leads to ps5
Slim disc or slim digital (1 tb)

Thanks

Croma outlets are taking pre bookings for both disc and digital. The catch is you have to pay the full amount upfront, and they will call you once your unit arrives for pick up, which I’m told will be within one week.

The guy also told me that for 550 Croma stores in the city, Sony has allocated only 150 units. So hurry if you haven’t yet booked one, since this is likely the last batch being sold at old prices.
