Argos to get more PlayStation 5 consoles in stores within next few days, say gaming experts

Argos could go live with another PlayStation 5 sale from next week, according to reports.

The retailer is expected to receive shipments of the Sony consoles to their warehouses nationwide, which will then be distributed to individual stores/hubs within the next few days.

That's according to gaming experts who have been following the launch of the PlayStation 5 ever since it first came out in the UK back in November, 2020.

One of a few Twitter accounts who have received a major following due to it's spot-on predictions of launches, PS5 Stock UK, said: " Argos has received shipments of PlayStation 5's to their warehouses nationwide.

"This is expected to be distributed to individual stores/hubs nationwide within the next few days, with a possible drop 29th-1st October."

They say the Argos drop will be Disc Editions only of the console.

Argos's last restock of the PlayStation 5 came on September 14.

The retailer dropped their sale online shortly after 8am on Tuesday, September 14.

Both the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Console - priced at £359.99 and the Disc Version - priced at £449.99 were available to buy on the Argos website.

However, many shoppers reported problems, stating that stock sold out within just a few minutes or quickly became unavailable at their local stores.

Despite supply issues, Sony's latest console has sold more than 10 million times worldwide, making it the biggest console launch in US history.

In the UK, the console was made available to buy on November 19, 2020 and sold out instantly.

The PlayStation 5 comes in two forms - the PS5 console: £449.99 and the PS5 Digital Edition console: £359.99.

The only difference between the PS5 console and the PS5 Digital Edition console is the inclusion of an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive in the PS5 console. The PS5 Digital Edition console does not feature a disc drive.
