New PS5 Argos stock 'next week' after ShopTo tells queuing customers to back out

PS5 fans have been frantically trying to snap up a console this week after two retailers dropped new supplies online.

Fans surged to GAME's website on Thursday when the video game retailer released two new batches of the highly sought after console.

While many fans were finally able to get their orders in - with up to 10,000 estimated to have been released by GAME - thousands more were left frustrated and empty handed again.

Another restock was announced on ShopTo on Friday morning, but the website crashed immediately as piled on in a bid to secure their console, with people saying they were

As fans reported queue positions of up to 20,000, the company suggested people leave if they were not close enough to the front, before confirming it had sold out in the afternoon.

However, another opportunity to order a PlayStation 5 is set to open up next week according to tipsters.

PS5StockAlertUK has been informing gamers on when retailers are likely to restock.

On Friday they tweeted: "Argos will go live next week rather than the week after. For now, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday are possible days for release. I will announce an exact date when possible in a few days. Thank you."

This came after Thursday's warning that Argos was stocking up ready for next week.

Previously Argos' next supply wasn't predicted to drop until February 23/24.

Argos isn't the only retailer expected to restock next week.

Earlier this week the tipster told fans: "Very won’t be going live this week with the PS5. The company is still working hard to secure more stock, and will go live sometime next week."

Smyths Toys says on its website that its next restock is expected in February, but has not given specific dates.

Birmingham Live reports that Smyths said in a statement: “We’re afraid we do not have a preorder or notification service available for the upcoming restock.

“Please keep an eye on the website for updates, & apologies for any inconvenience.”

Tipsters have also suggested Amazon could have more consoles available early next week.
