Ps5

To ask if anyone knows where I can buy a PS5 without getting scammed? I've found a website called Drkickzzuk but only has 10 google reviews, I know I've probably left it too late x

I don’t think you will get one this side of Christmas. My DS is happy to wait. The hold up at the ports doesn’t help either.

Just stick to main retailers and wait until after Christmas!

My DS managed to buy one from Game a few days ago, due to be delivered a the next few days.

Apparently more stock is coming on monday 14th. Check stock informer website (I've been trying to get one for weeks and refuse to reward scalpers).

You can keep an eye on the stock checker but very much doubt you will get one this side of Christmas.

very very slim chance to get one before christmas - there are people paying people to watch lists - its insane!

Thank you for all your replies (you all sound so lovely 💗 I thought I was going to get laughed at) you're right I will defo wait for a major retailer and I'll wait until after xmas now. @Belindabelle I wish I could say it was for my DS but hes only 3 😂 it's for my DP birthday 🙈xxx

@lioncitygirl it is insane isn't it?! I found one on that 'drkickzz' but they were charging £920 with delivery 🙄 obviously unscrupulous xxx

Oh I'd definitely hold off until after Christmas, don't get into all the madness and definitely don't buy from the scalpers, it will only encourage them! I am in the same boat - he can get an IOU a PS5 and he'll be ok with that.
