Where to buy PS5 in the UK
There have been quite a few PS5 restocks at UK retailers over the past couple of weeks.
Very had a PS5 restock this morning, while AOI had a fleeting PS5 restock that sold out almost immediately.
It's not just retailers like GAME and Argos you should keep your eye on either. Internet service providers and mobile phone operators like BT and EE are getting in on the action too.
The added bonus of buying via EE is that you don't have to pay the whole price of the console upfront and can split the cost into monthly payments.
EE offers the PS5 from £45 per month for 11 months, with £10 upfront – interest free. So keep an eye on its socials if that sounds appealing.
Looking ahead, Argos has been for a PS5 restock this week, between November 9 and November 12.
Currently, it looks like this may be for the standard disc edition only, but that's yet to be confirmed.
GAME has a PS5 restock last week to coincide with the Call of Duty: Vanguard release.
It's thought that the retailer will have another in a couple of weeks.

Some places are even offering early access to their PS5 stock drops as part of a paid service.
Walmart+ is giving early access to its Black Friday deals, while GameStop's PowerUp Rewards Pro specifically gives you first dibs on new consoles.
Meanwhile, Best Buy's pricey Totaltech gives 'exclusive access' to 'hard-to-find tech products'. But beware of using it to get a PS5 and trying to cancel and refund the membership.
