Getting a PS5 consists of signing up for Telegram alerts and waiting for stock alerts. Within 1-3 weeks you’ll snag one.
In my opinion it makes sense to be patient for 3 weeks and get a PS5, which will surely be relevant for 5-7 more years.
Keep in mind, PS4s are also difficult to find right now. They are still selling at the full $300 retail price if you can even find one, and used on eBay they are $250. Why pay $250 for a console that will stop getting new games this year or next year?
Now granted, OP seems to be in a different country so maybe these circumstances are different for them but in the US certainly it does not make sense to buy a PS4, for the same price you can buy an Xbox Series S.

- FearlessNebula 5y agoIt’s not a synchronous task. You don’t have to block your life, you set an alert and when you get the alert, you try to buy it. It takes 5 minutes for an attempt, and if it doesn’t work you try again next time. I know, because I did it when the shortage was at its peak. I set up telegram alerts and I kept my personal laptop on standby. If an alert came in, as long as I wasn’t in a work meeting, I opened my laptop and quickly followed through to the link. It just takes a little bit of patience but it’s not too bad. But hopefully the shortage improves soon and this will no longer be necessary.
