I haven't been looking for one lately but I'll give you tips on how I found the one I picked up for my brother.

Follow restock accounts on Twitter, and turn on all notifications for them. It's kind of annoying because a lot of them post restocks for multiple things (graphics cards, fad toys, sneakers, etc) so you end up getting a ton of notifications but thems the breaks. I followed like 3 or 4 of them. Some will ask politely for donations for successful purchases but don't bother following any that flat out demand money, and DON'T trust any of them to buy one for you if you give them money. There's dozens of dudes out there who post restocks, no need to purchase from any site you don't trust. The good restock accounts will have all sorts of useful tips for securing on checkout and speeding up the checkout process to help ensure a successful buy. There's some legit good people out there just trying to help other people out, but be wary of scams.

When they post a restock, drop what you're doing and immediately go try to buy. Some sites they'll advise you refresh if it's showing no stock, because a lot of the sites will trickle out supply over like 20 minutes or so instead of posting their entire supply all at once.

It might be easier to secure a bundle, but those are more expensive depending on what's in them. I've seen bundles upwards of $800. I think one site was offering bundles including a gaming chair that put it over $1000. Wasn't necessary for me, I was patient enough to wait for what I wanted.

Sony Direct has a queue system. Get in it early and when it shows you how much time is left until the store opens to you, if you start out under 30 minutes you have an outside chance. Under 15 minutes is a pretty good chance. Under 10 minutes is almost guaranteed. If it shows you an hour or more it's pretty much a waste of your time but I'd never say never...

I ended up getting mine through Target. Got the alert and immediately jumped on the Target site and got lucky.
