Amazon finally launches an invite system for buying a PS5 or Xbox Series X

  • Amazon is launching an invitation system for high-demand products.
  • The company is hoping to improve availability and reduce price-gouging.

Amazon is working to tackle price-gouging on high-demand items, implementing an invite system for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, with more items likely to follow.

Amazon wants to address all of this with its new invite system.
