Where to get a ps5?

[Lemons1571]

Most places are out of stock, and Game say preorders are “not guaranteed to arrive on the release date”. I only want it for Xmas but I don’t want to preorder and then be waiting for months. Any suggestions?

Sold out for pre release everywhere I’ve looked. I’m going to have to wait to see if there’s any available in shops once it’s actually released.

Currys have them for preorder for over £2,000 😱

Shocking behaviour for a high street retailer.

I am in the same boat Lemons. Ds isn’t even sure that he wants a ps5 (he really likes his switch); he was hoping to see one demo-ed in the shops after they were released, and then decide. Obviously he won’t be seeing one in the shops anytime soon!

Can anyone suggest anything? If I l waited to find a YouTube unwrapping/tutorial type thing, and then he said he liked it, would I be able to order one for him for Christmas or is that hugely wishful thinking?

@CovidNightmare It turns out that listing is a way to ensure that only people who paid a deposit can purchase on release date- people who paid the deposit will get a discount code so that the £2k is removed at the payment page. The article also says thag Sony are planning to make more than they originally planned so hopefully that'll be before Christmas too! www.techradar.com/uk/news/ps5-consoles-are-being-sold-on-currys-for-pound2449-and-theres-of-course-a-catch

I’m waiting on a PS5 too, but can’t even find somewhere to pre-order.

I signed up to be emailed when they came up for pre-order or in stock from curry’s, but had an email last week saying they wont be coming in stock as they’ve all sold out due to the amount of pre orders.

I’m just going to wait now until release day

do you think there's a decent chance of getting one on release day online?

I'm trying to get a couple of XBox Series X and they're out of stock too. Getting a bit close to the wire as I want them for Christmas! 😬

I had an email from Argos last night saying they were getting more stock in.

Have a check on Very.
I managed to get one on launch day but wont receive it until December when Sony actually ship the stock. It was a bad selling tactic from Very as on their site I should have had it today, so effectively, it was a pre-sale. Either way, some people have got lucky with ordering even today on getting one through them.

Sign up to stock informer -

I’m not paying £800 as they are asking on eBay!!! 😀😀 for a ps5!!!!

Definitely sign up to stock informer. I wasted 2 hours trying to check out on Argos this morning. Was just about to leave laptop to get breakfast and saw a green tick for Amazon on stock informer page. Fingers crossed, it’s showing as confirmed order for delivery week after next 🤞
