These userscripts will monitor various sites for Playstation 5 availability. They should run fine under Firefox, Chrome, or Edge. They haven't been tested all that well so I make no guarantees about how reliable they'll be.
For optimal performance, either use a differnt browser that has no extensions installed or create a new browser profile. Here's how to do it in Firefox and Chrome.
If you want a better chance of having the alert sounds play when the browser is in the background, you'll need to enable background autoplay. To do this:
- For Chrome, start the browser from the terminal with the follow command:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required - For Firefox, follow these steps
In addition to this script, I'd recommend keeping an eye on these Twitter accounts:
- Install the Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey or Greasemonkey browser extensions.
- Click on the links below for each of the stores that you want to run the script for:
- Open a tab for each of the store's PS 5 pages by clicking the links below. Be sure to leave them open.
- For each store, create an account, log in, and set a default payment method.
- To change the time between page reloads, edit the
refreshDelayvariable in each script. Lower numbers can really slow down your machine. I lower the number for a specific site only if I'm expecting stock to appear soon. - If you find the sound too annoying, you can change it by updating the mp3 URL in the scripts.
