Where can you buy a PS5 console today?

It has been another week and there are still no PS5 consoles to be found.

Stock will be coming, but it may be another few weeks yet.

UPDATE – April 24 PS5 Stock Update

As we head towards the end of the month, PS5 consoles are still nowhere in sight, with predictions being that we won’t see any consoles until at least May 2021.

After May 10th is when stock is expected to start to trickle out into the market.

StockInformer, a website built to track stock from the major UK retailers, confirms the news we all fear. There are no PS5 consoles in stock, including the Digital Editions!

As always, CEX and eBay remain alternatives if you can’t wait for a restock. They sell second-hand consoles at inflated prices, but they do have stock for both the Standard Edition and the Digital-Only version of the PS5 console.

No Longer Profitable

Due to the recent reduction is selling price at CEX, and the lower selling prices on eBay, it is no longer profitable for scalpers to sell the PS5 on these platforms.

CEX will now just give £450 for a boxed PS5, the same price as the console costs to purchase.

eBay still sees the console sell for around £550-600, but this is far lower than the £900 the console was selling for just a few weeks ago.

PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates recently tweeted that,

“Due to recent drops, its unprofitable to sell a PS5 to CEX! Average prices for a PS5 on eBay have dropped to £550!”

CEX

CEX is a chain brand that sells used entertainment items from games, films, computer parts, mobile phones and more.

Because of this they don’t have to follow pricing laws and can instead set their own laws.

They do sell both versions of the PS5, but be prepared to pay more than RRP for them.

At the time of writing the prices are:

Ebay

Like CEX, if you’re prepared to pay more than RRP and aren’t that bothered whether the box has been opened before, then Ebay is one place to consider.

One thing to note is, since you may be dealing with individual sellers there may be a risk involved, so be prepared for that before you bid/purchase.
