Right now it seems like everyone wants a PlayStation 5 and simply finding a unit is something of a lucky event. This likely won’t change until sometime in 2021 when stock catches up with demand, though in addition to PlayStation Direct constantly adding a new stock at random times seemingly every day, purchases from there come with a nice bonus.
Currently, units purchased from there come with a card that thanks players for buying PS5. One side states essentially that, with the other having a message for players.
Congratulations on your PlayStation 5
The big day is finally here!
Thank you for your support. We really hope you enjoy the Journey.

PSN Code
Welcome to the next generation of gaming!
Best Regards
Sony Direct Card
While some might hope for a discount code on some of the amazing upcoming titles or possibly a free game, something Sony has done with MLB and repairs in the past, the code unlocks a couple free avatars.
As seen above, the eight avatars with a grey circle around them are what the code gives you. Referred simply as the PlayStation Direct avatar bundle, it includes a couple faces from launch and launch window PlayStation 5 titles, two recent major PlayStation 4 releases and a generic Sony avatar. It might not be much but it is a cool bonus for anyone who happens to get their hands on one.
