PS5 consoles have been extremely tough to come across since its release.
The next-gen console has been tough to get due to semiconductor shortage that has affected many industries across the country.
And people have been trying to work extremely hard to get a console since its release.
But if you’re still sitting there and trying to get a console, what are the best ways to grab one and the tips that you need to know?
Well, we’ve come up with a number of tips that you need to do which will help you cop a PS5.
So here are some of the best way to get a console this month and in the future as the shortage continues.
1. Follow dedicated Twitter accounts
There are a number of Twitter accounts that have dedicated themselves to letting people know when stock comes back to certain stores.
All you have to do is follow them and click the ‘Notification’ bell and you will be caught up to date with when they drop.
Some of the best accounts to follow are:
These accounts are normally quite quick to let you know when stock is available.
2. Follow a stock informer website
There are plenty of websites out there that are informing people about stock and when it comes back into stock.
Some of these websites include StockInformer.co.uk, checkstock.co.uk and nowinstock.com.
These websites normally send you notifications about when sites have stock. They can email or even text you when it comes back.
3. Keep checking less well-known sites
If you fancy getting lucky, you can keep checking sites to see if they are in stock but it might be very time-consuming.
But there are other sites out there that are reliable and sell PS5s. Forget GAME, Argos and because these might be your best bet.
Shopto.net, SimplyGames and Very are retailers that have good reputations and are stocking the console.
4. Pay a bit more money
Depending how desperate you want a PS5, there are ways to get one. But it’s probably going to cost you more than you expect.
CEX is selling the PS5 for £810 which is much more than its original £449 price. There are also sales on eBay who are selling the console for more money.
It’s not the best way of doing it but if you have the cash and REALLY want it then there are options.
5. Make sure you buy from legitimate sellers
Since there are so many people who are desperate to get a PS5, it can be tempting to buy from people you may not trust.
This point may contradict the last point but there are ways you get what you want without being ripped off.
There are reports of people getting scammed and you don’t want it happening to you.
So make sure you buy from reputable people and resellers such as big tech sites such as , Amazon, GAME etc.
But also if you’re buying from eBay, make sure the seller has good reputation and isn’t a new account and has previous history of good sales.
Be careful out there and good luck!
6. Follow PS5 stock chat rooms and keep constantly updated
There are a number of instant messaging groups out there that have people constantly talking about PS5 stock in the UK.
If you’re a gamer, you have probably heard about Discord. Many gamers have gone to Discord to discuss about possible stock drops and there are already many Discord groups out there.
There is also Telegram groups around that you can join to discuss PS5 stock in the UK. We aren’t going to link any in this article as there are TONS to choose from. Keep a look around and you might find some.
7. Get lucky
Sometimes sites crash, stock sells out quicker than you think and you still can’t get a console.
It has been tough for many who have failed to get one since November – but sometimes that’s the way to the cookie crumbles.
Keep going and eventually you’ll be able to bite.
