Good morning everyone! We’re back with the PS5 liveblog to walk you through all the latest stock updates of Sony’s elusive console.

As of writing, the PS5 is currently available at Game, Scan and The Game Collection, all of which are bundles including games such as Horizon Forbidden West as well as some extras. We’ll be going into detail around which ones are worth looking into.

We also predict that the console could see a restock at Very and Currys some time soon. Very is known to restock on Tuesdays so could we see a drop from them later today?

Stay with us for more information as we get it!

All righty folks, thanks for joining us for another day of console stock sniffing. After a slightly slow Monday, the PS5 is still in stock at Game, Scan and The Game Collection after selling out at Ebuyer earlier this morning.

We’ll be back tomorrow morning to bring you through even more restocks, and we’re hoping to see a standalone console restock from Very. Chat to you all then!

It’s been over a month since Currys last restored the PS5, with the retailer dropping a bunch of bundles on Tuesday 12 April. Of course, because the PS5 was sold as part of a bundle, they didn’t sell out until Monday 18 April.

We’re expecting to see another Currys restock sometime this week, although we’re not exactly sure what day or what time the retailer might drop. It has been restored every day of the week in the past. Again, the next Currys restock will be a bundle drop, so look away if you’re after the standalone console.

Smyths Toys is one of the handful of retailers who has already restored the console once this month – on Tuesday 3 May. We’ve noticed an interesting pattern with Smyths Toys’s restocks. When it drops extremely early in the month – between the 1st and 5th, it usually has another one towards the second half of the month.

This is all speculation, but we’ll grasp onto it with both hands, seeing as Smyths Toys sells standalone PS5 consoles, including the digital edition version.

So you’ve copped to PS5, but did you know that the Xbox series X is also readily available right now? If you’re after some Xbox exclusives, then you’re going to want to get your hands on the Xbox series X.

Like the PS5, it’s often sold as part of a bundle, but we’ve found some standalone consoles hanging around. Want to find out where you can get one? Have a read of our article below.

It appears that retailers these days are only ever selling the PS5 as part of a bundle, making it hard for console hunters who don’t have the extra cash to buy a standalone console. Why is this?

There are a couple of reasons. The cynic in us says that selling the PS5 as part of a bundle means that retailers can charge a premium on the console, shifting accessories and games as well as the machine itself. But it also helps detect scalpers. The non-cynic in us would say that bundles help provide customers with a gaming kit from the get go, without having to go out and buy anything extra. That would make sense, except fewer people are buying the bundles, so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Wow, that was quick. The PS5 has now sold out at Ebuyer. The retailer most likely had very small quantities of the console in stock, but well done to anyone who managed to secure one.

That was the cheapest PS5 bundle we’ve seen all day, so it flew off the shelves. The next best (and cheapest) bundle is from Game. It’s actually only £10 more than the Ebuyer bundle, More details below.

Another independent games retailer has just dropped the PS5, and this is now the cheapest bundle on offer. Ebuyer is currently selling the PS5 disc edition console bundled with Horizon Forbidden West (digital download), a physical copy of lego-star Wars The Skywalker Saga and an extra dualsense controller (£589.98, Ebuyer.com).

This might be the week, PS5 hunters! If you’ve been desperately waiting for Very to restock and drop a bunch of nice standalone PS5 consoles, your wait may soon be over.

There’s a good chance that Very restocks the PS5 tomorrow morning. As we revealed in our PS5 stock tracking anniversary article, Very loves a Tuesday. And seeing as it hasn’t been restored since 20 April, we could be in line for another drop. Keep your eyes peeled for that one, standalone console hunters.
