PS5 UK availability – live: Latest game and bundle news as fans wait for PlayStation to be restocked
The PS5 has finally gone on sale in the UK – to the select few who can get hold of one.
The console was released in the US and some other select countries last week, but has finally had its global launch on Thursday.
The day will be marked by fans receiving deliveries of their new PlayStations. But it will also be a day on which those many people who were not lucky enough to be able to secure a pre-order will be poring through the listings from shops such as Amazon, Curry’s and other retailers in an attempt to find in-stock consoles.
Here is all the latest on the release of the console.
Amazon promises new consoles at lunchtime
It’s not clear how much stock there will be available today. But Amazon will have at least one.
It emailed customers telling them that some consoles will be available at noon in the UK or 1pm Central European time.
They might not actually arrive all that quickly, however, players were warned.
“We will make every effort to deliver all orders as soon as possible,” Amazon said in the email. “If you order, we will email you with an estimated delivery date. However, this may be subject to change.”
Dimensions, specs and accessories
What do you get with your PS5? (If you get your PS5.) Not all that much, really, as you might expect.
