Where to buy PS5 in the UK
There have been quite a few PS5 restocks at UK retailers over the past couple of weeks.
EE and Argos both saw more inventory this week. The added bonus of EE is that you don’t have to pay the whole price upfront either.
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.
Argos had a restock this morning and while the Digital Edition looks to be sold out, you can still get the standard edition.

We’ve seen a slew of restocks at US retailers too, with some even letting customers purchase in-store.
Walmart has a number of bundles available now but they’re not cheap.
Target is reportedly getting another stock drop this week, according to Jake Randall.
