ORIGINAL STORY:
If you’ve missed out on getting your hands on a PlayStation 5 so far – you could be in luck today.
There have already been a couple of opportunities for fans to buy Sony ’s newest console – but as usual stock sold out fast.
Gamers have found it incredibly difficult to get their hands on the PS5 since it launched last year.
Today several retailers have dropped stock – including Argos and GAME.
But fans were left disappointed when Argos dropped their new stock at 12.55am early this morning.
One user on Twitter said: “Joke from Argos to release it at that time. Must think we’re all furloughed!”.
It was also a local drop, which means some areas didn’t see new stock appear.
One user said: “Don’t think any dropped at my local store,” while another added: “Wasn’t even available in my area as far as I could see. Just kept saying out of stock for both delivery and collection. Rather upset and disappointed.”
Later in the morning new stock dropped at GAME, but again it sold out in minutes.
But reliable internet tipsters who predicated the GAME and Argos drops have said that the PS5 will also drop at John Lewis and Very as a “huge” batch hits the UK.
Sources suggest that Very.co.uk and John Lewis could actually drop today.
PS5StockAlertUK said yesterday: “GAME, John Lewis & Very are the three retailers to watch out for tomorrow.”
The user added that John Lewis usually restocks at around 6-8pm, while Very is usually around 12pm.
However, the tracker added: “But obviously be alert all morning until 2-3pm max as retailers have slowly been changing restock patterns to catch potential website traffic off-guard.”
The Tipster is also predicting that Amazon will restock between March 30 and April 1, and Smyths between March 31 and April 2.
The Twitter user said: “These are only predictions. Retailers not on this list mean we have no information or expectancies from them. More info soon.”
