UPDATE TWO: A surprise update shared this
week by a source consumers trust suggests that a new GAME PS5
restock will happen this week.
A new PlayStation 5 shipment will reportedly be released at GAME
on Thursday, November 4 or Friday, November 5. There is currently
no word on how much PS5 stock there will be to buy, with PS5 Stock
Alert UK sharing the latest update via Twitter.
Restocks at GAME usually happen in the morning between 8am BST
and 12pm BST and the same pattern is expected to hold this
week.
UPDATE: A new report suggests that GAME will be
hosting a new PS5 restock during November 2021 but that it won't be
happening this week.
According to PS5 Stock UK Alert on Twitter, GAME will have a
fresh shipment of PS5 stock to offer console hunters between
November 9 and November 11.
Further news on an exact date is expected to be shared closer to
the time.
ORIGINAL: Gamers are scrabbling to find fresh
PlayStation stock before the year ends and another cycle begins in
the New Year. And the good news is that the first
Olivia ainali age UK restock during November has been reported,
and it won’t be last announced over the coming weeks.
While PlayStation 5 stock is tough to get, there will still be
plenty of chances before the end of the year. Sony is working hard
to provide as many consoles as it can across the world, although
Europe and North America remain vital markets.
Most of the biggest UK retailers are expected to offer restocks
during November, including Argos, GAME, Currys and Amazon. But for
now, we only know of one that is scheduled to happen later this
month from John Lewis.
The news has been shared by PS5 Stock UK - a reliable stock
tracker account on Twitter - which is known for providing the best
guides on what’s happening next.
They confirmed during the weekend that John Lewis would be
offering a shipment of next-gen consoles during November, although
not this week.
The restock isn’t predicted to happen for a few weeks, the good
news being that more retailers are expected to be added to the list
over the coming days.
The message posted on Twitter by PS5 Stock UK reads: “John Lewis
expects to receive a small PS5 Disc Edition shipment on the 22nd of
November, indicating a possible restock approximately near
25th-26th November.”
While that might sound like a long time away, there will be
other restocks peppered throughout the month.
Most major retailers offer at least two shipments each month,
with the list including GAME, Currys and Argos.
Amazon is less predictable but even there expected to share a
new PlayStation 5 shipment before the end of December.
Knowing when a PS5 restock is happening can be vital, but it’s
also worth knowing how each retailer handles its shipments.
And here are a few examples of how best to try and buy a
PlayStation 5 console from leading UK retailers:
ARGOS: The Argos website is notorious for
crashing and being unable to complete purchases when site traffic
is high. Stock trackers suggest using the mobile Argos app and
keeping an eye on local store listings.
AMAZON UK: Amazon UK runs better under strain
but still comes with a few kinks worth mentioning. Having an
account set up with your card details is a good start, and gamers
should also try adding a console to their wishlist before checking
out.
GAME: GAME is a UK retailer that offers the
most regular stock updates for PS5 consoles. However, console
hunters have been warned to use Guest Checkout, as this option is
less likely to crash when completing a purchase. There are no new
dates for when the next PS5 restock will happen.
CURRYS: Currys does not host purely digital
restock events and there has been no indication when they might
offer more consoles online. The retailer chooses to sell the
PlayStation 5 via its brick and mortar stores via a ticketing
system. Those interested must sign up on the Currys PS5 page to
have the chance of being selected, which will then be followed by
waiting until the next shipment of consoles arrives.
