PS5 stock is on its way in the U.S. and is coming soon today (yes, we’re freaking out too). The Official Sony Rewards Account announced yesterday that a limited number of hard-to-find consoles hit stores this Friday, January 15th, so it’s worth keeping an eye on its website. Basically, be ready to act fast; after rumors of PS5’s actions this week proved to be false, the internet is hungry for business. On your marks, get ready … get ready to destroy the daylight with the update button.
The problem is that we don’t know who can claim this PS5 stock – will it be exclusive to Sony Rewards users? Or will consoles appear on the Sony website in general? The answer is not clear, so be ready for anything. While all of this is frustratingly vague (we can only apologize), at least it gives us something to aim for.
As for the UK, we still have our fingers crossed for the PS5 stock again in the coming days. Although the units did not appear on January 14 as suggested, inventory monitoring account Ps5Instant we said that we could expect more in the UK anytime between 14 and 21 january. And since they were on the money with the claim that the console would return on January 7, we are inclined to believe – or pay attention – to reports that extra consoles are on the way. As it has been very difficult to buy the PS5 so far, we will accept any help we can to locate them.
Furthermore, it matches what retailers are saying. Smyths confirmed that it was expecting extra consoles this month, for example, and we were able to purchase the Xbox Series X during January in a variety of stores. If nothing else, it is a demonstration that the next generation stock joy train is back in business.
No matter where you are in the world, be ready to attack. Online queues appeared on Game UK for PS5 stock last week without any fanfare, so we recommend keeping your favorite retailers open for the next few days, just in case. And if you find that consoles are available, but an error occurs, keep trying; sites on both sides of the lake display these messages when they are struggling with the weight of demand.
Anyway, it bodes well for the PS5 stock coming at the end of the month. Laptops Direct had consoles to offer in early January, for example, and even though it was in an expensive monitor package, the fact that it existed gives us hope for more business to come. Lucky buyers were also able to buy the Xbox Series X in Very a few days ago and DualSense is on sale again on Amazon UK, so things are looking up in terms of cutting edge technology.
ℹ The stock will be released between 14 and 21 January. Argos expects its stock to arrive on the 13th and will be available after processing. EE and BT seem to be thinking of launching theirs on the 17th. I’ll keep you updated. # PS5 # ps5uk # ps5stock # ps5restock # PS4January 10, 2021
