Amazon takes on PS5 and Xbox scalpers with a new invite system
consoles before you can secure one. It's rolling out an invite-based ordering option for high-demand products that are in low supply to help legitimate shoppers get their hands on the items.
, there's now a"request invitation" button — you may need to click the"new and used" link to see it alongside the other ordering options.Amazon will assess whether an account that requests an invitation is authentic by looking at things like the account creation date and purchase history. If it believes you are, indeed, a human and your invite request is granted, Amazon will send you an email with instructions on how to buy the product.
Although requesting an invitation won't guarantee that you'll be able to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X from Amazon, it could help. What's more, it might mean you don't have to participate in the rush to secure one whenever there's a restock.
