GAME and Argos get new challenger as the best place to buy a PS5 in the UK

It’s been a year since the PS5 first launched and Sony’s latest PlayStation console is still hard to come by. There have been numerous occasions where PS5 additions have been picked up in a flash, but during the ongoing stock shortage, there were two clear shining stars: GAME and Argos. Both GAME and Argos have regularly received new stocks in 2021 that outlast their ilk, with many people taking to sites like Twitter in the wake of the stock drops and expressing their joy at finally packing a PS5 console.

While GAME and Argos have long reigned supreme on the PlayStation 5 stock front, they have a new contender that could become the go-to place for PS5 orders.

That’s PlayStation Direct, which launched in Europe last week – after gamers in the US have enjoyed the service for a long time – and early this week the PlayStation Direct website took orders for the PS5 in the UK for the first time. The restock went live around 10am UK time on Monday with both the PlayStation 5 Disc and the digital consoles on sale for £449.99 and £359.99 respectively. A queue was launched for those wishing to purchase a PlayStation 5 with PlayStation Direct, with thousands of people queuing up to purchase the much sought-after console.

Where to buy a PS5 in the UK?
Amazon – PS5 Disc Console

Amazon has been a great place to buy the PS5 in the UK this year. However, if you want to be first in line, you’d better update your Amazon Prime subscription. That’s because Prime members tend to get “priority access” to Amazon UK PS5 add-ons.

PRIME VIP ACCESS

Very also offers a range of PS5 purchase options for its restocks, including standalone consoles and bundles including accessories or subscription services. You can go to the Very PS5 signup by clicking here to receive email updates on the PlayStation 5.

GAME – PS5 Consoles, Bundles

GAME was one of the best places to buy a PS5 in the UK in 2021. GAME sells the PS5 Digital (£359.99) and PS5 Disc (£449.99) consoles separately, as well as a range of bundles of accessories, games and more.

Argos – PS5 Disc

Argos was the other best place to buy a PS5 in the UK this year. One of the best things about ordering a PS5 from Argos is that customers were able to pick up a shiny new PS5 console from their local Argos store not too long after placing their order.

Argos – PS5 Digital

Unlike GAME, Argos typically only sells standalone PS5 consoles. The cheapest PS5 purchase option from Argos is the PS5 Digital console, which costs £359.99. With previous restocks, Argos has offered both same-day in-store pick-up and home delivery.

£359.99

John Lewis is another leading UK retailer taking online orders for the PS5. The iconic high street store has had new stocks for both the PS5 Disc and PS5 Digital consoles in the past. But with John Lewis, you have to act fast as stocks tend to pick up quickly.

Currys – PS5 Ordering Hub

Currys is another UK retailer that has taken orders for the PS5 this year. A VIP code is required for most 2021 Curry’s online orders. But we’ll have to wait and see if this schedule changes as PS5 stock – hopefully – becomes more readily available.

FROM £359.99

Telecom giant BT also lets customers order a PS5 through its official online store. To be in with a chance of winning a PS5 from BT, you must be a customer and also register your interest online.

As with parent company BT, EE also sells the PS5 to its customers. But you must register your interest, have received a code and also be an existing customer with a handset subscription that falls within the first 17 months of their contract.

AO.com is another retailer that has taken innovative approaches to its PS5 additions. While some PS5 add-ons have been purchased through the conventional online route, other customers have had to call the store to place an order.
