Sony PS5 promises a great experience when it comes to gaming. However, recently it has been experiencing stock problems due to supply chain restriction. This creates a great opportunity for sellers to add on to the original price. To overcome all these problems, Amazon has created a new system that will help true enthusiasts get a PS5.
Amazon introduces order-by-invitation experience
Amazon offers a new invitation-based ordering experience for high-demand, low-supply items. The company said the purpose of the new system is to avoid shortages and price increases for products that are in high demand in limited quantities.
Amazon will first look at your account’s previous purchase history and when you created your account. Afterwards, it will review the invitation requests during the evaluation phase. Amazon will do the invite review to make sure you’re not a fake or bot profile.
The new system will be released in the US starting with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X game consoles. Llew Mason, vice president of consumer engagement at Amazon, made a statement. The explanation is as follows:
We work hard every day to provide customers with low prices, wide selection and prompt delivery. This includes developing a shopping experience where customers can buy products they are interested in without worrying about bad actors buying and selling them at a much higher price.
How does the system work?
The new order option allows customers to request an invitation to purchase from the product detail page at no additional cost. However, any customer with an Amazon account will send an invitation request to purchase the product.
Here’s what you need to do to request the invitation:
- First go to the PS5 product page on Amazon.
- Then the Request Invitation option will appear between the Add to Cart or Buy Now options. Click this option.
- If your invitation to purchase is accepted, you will receive an email with instructions on how to purchase the product. This email will contain information about how long it will take you to complete the purchase.
