Get an email when a sold-out game console is back in stock
New consoles, limited bundles and special editions sell out fast, and stock tends to come back in small batches when a retailer receives a shipment or cancelled orders are released. Sold Out Alert watches the product page for the exact model or bundle you want. It emails you when the page stops saying sold out.
What you can watch
- The disc edition of the console, not the digital one
- The holiday bundle with two controllers
- The limited color in any storage size
- The console under its list price, not from a third-party seller
- A replacement controller in the white finish
How it works
Paste the console's product page link and say which model, bundle or color counts as back in stock for you.
Sold Out Alert reads the page once, shows you which part of it holds the stock status, and tells you whether the page can be tracked before you start.
When that option shows as available, you get an email with the link. You check out yourself.
We alert you by email; you book it yourself. Sold Out Alert never logs into your accounts or buys anything for you. Plans start at $9 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Questions
- Will it buy the console for me or get past a queue?
- No. Sold Out Alert never logs in, adds to a cart or checks out for you, and it cannot skip a waiting room. It emails you when the page looks available and you buy it yourself. Console stock can vanish in minutes, so there is no guarantee you will get one.
- Can it tell the bundle from the plain console?
- Yes, when each version has its own page or its own option on the page. Name the exact model or bundle in your request so the watch ignores the others.
- Why do consoles restock without warning?
- Retailers receive shipments, release held inventory and put returned units back on sale, usually without announcing it. That is why checking on a schedule helps more than checking by hand.
- Does it work on every store's page?
- No. Many retail pages block automated checking, and some use queues or sign-in walls. Sold Out Alert checks the page before you start and tells you whether it can be tracked. Checks run from every 5 minutes on the lowest plan to every 1 minute on the highest.
