PS5 stock – live: Currys, Game and more restock the console – here’s how to get one

Here’s where you can buy the elusive console

(The Independent)

Since its November 2020 launch, the PlayStation 5 has been notoriously difficult to get a hold of, as pandemic-related supply chain issues slowed production to a crawl. Thankfully, the situation has improved, with PS5 bundles now readily available.

Today, PS5 bundles are available at Game, Currys, EE, Very, ShopTo, Studio, AO, Base, Scan, Box, Ebuyer and at some branches of Smyths Toys. The standalone PS5 disc edition console sold out at Asda earlier this morning. PS5 digital edition bundles are in stock at the BT Shop for BT Broadband customers, as well as The Game Collection.

Because retailers prefer selling pricier bundles, standalone consoles are sparse and sell out quickly. While the standard edition PS5 is easy to snag, the cheaper digital edition is a bit more difficult to get your hands on.

Here’s where you can get the PS5 disc edition console with Horizon Forbidden West

The official Horizon Forbidden West PS5 disc edition bundle is usually available in abundance, but not that many retailers are selling it this morning. We’ve only got ShopTo, the BT Shop and Ebuyer right now, with some bundles in stock in certain branches of Smyths Toys.

ShopTo is selling it for £499.85, Ebuyer for £499.98 and BT and Smyths Toys are both selling it for £499.99. Not much to save here.

Where can you buy the PS5 standalone disc edition console today?

If you’re hunting down the standalone disc edition console, you’ve only got one option this morning after the console sold out at ShopTo. The only retailer with the console in stock is now Asda

ShopTo was actually selling it for slightly cheaper than normal (£449.85 vs £449.99), but we’re talking pennies here. This will be snapped up fast, so get it while stocks last.

Where can you buy the PS5 digital edition console today?

On the hunt for the digital edition PS5 console? Afraid to say, you won’t be able to get it on its own. The last time we saw the digital edition console available was a couple of weeks ago, from PS Direct. Other than that, it’s been pretty barren.

Right now, PS5 digital edition bundles are in stock at the BT Shop for BT Broadband customers, as well as The Game Collection. BT is selling a digital edition bundle for £459.99 – you get an extra controller and a copy of Horizon Forbidden West, but you do need to be a BT customer to get an access code.

The Game Collection bundle is significantly more expensive, costing £619.95, but it comes with Horizon Forbidden West and an extra controller, a controller charging station, a pulse 3D wireless headset and Fortnite “The Last Laugh Bundle”.

Asda PS5 stock drops for the first time in months

Asda hasn’t restocked the PS5 since 25 May, and almost three months later, the supermarket chain has decided that it’s time. Asda has just dropped the standalone disc edition console for £449.99. It says that the console will be delivered on or before 31 August, and it is now one of two places where you can currently buy the PS5 disc edition console on its own.

PS VR2 confirmed to release in early 2023

Before we crack our knuckles and get hunting down some PS5 deals, we’ve just received news from Sony as to when the PS VR2 could launch. And it’s not going to be too much longer now. The company shared via Instagram that its next-generation headset will be arriving in early 2023.

Sony didn’t release much more information than that, so we’re still waiting to see how much it will cost, but it seems the company is all set to launch its VR headset early next year.
