Wondering where to buy a PS5 at a bargain price? Good news: PS5 stock has dropped at multiple retailers this week, including Amazon UK, Amazon US, Argos and GameStop. Better still, more PS5 drops are due this week - we're even seeing the decent PS5 deals show up online. Here's the scoop...
Argos dropped PS5 stock via its app at 4am this morning (26th January). Thanks to a payment glitch, the console was in stock much longer than usual. Argos' latest batch has been snapped up but keep checking the Argos app and website - there's talk of another restock today. Make sure you have an Argos account set up and be ready to roll.
BT and EE are also tipped to drop PS5 bundles today. As of now, the BT shop holds customers in a virtual queue with the message, "We've sold out of our current allocation of PlayStation 5." That could change at any second, so keep checking back today.
On Monday, Amazon UK listed the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition as 'available now' but sold out in minutes. On a brighter note, Amazon and Game are tipped for big restocks this week. Game dropped multiple batches last week, usually one in the morning (around 9.30am) and one in the afternoon (around 3.30pm).
Better still, we've spotted some of the best PS5 deals on the official DualSense Controller. It's currently in stock at Amazon UK at a decent saving (£59.99 £57.95).
Over in the States, Amazon US dropped PS5 stock on 21st January around 10am ET. That inventory has now gone but Amazon is predicted to drop more PS5 stock this week. Best Buy and Target seem to be restocking fairly regularly, too.
With demand so high, making a saving won't be easy. But retailers are getting creative and offering the best PS5 deals on some of the best PS5 games, rather than the consoles themselves. So there are savings to be had.
In other words, you won't be left empty-handed. Read on and we'll run down the best PS5 deals available right now.
How much does a PS5 cost?
The recommended retail price of the PS5 is £449 ($499, ?499, AU$749). Too expensive? You can grab a disc-less PS5 Digital Edition for £359 ($399, ?399, AU$599). Read our full PS5 vs PS5 Digital Edition comparison for a full breakdown of the two machines.
You'll find the latest savings (if there are any to be had yet) below.
Best PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition deals
Best PS5 accessory deals
PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller
The PS5 only comes with one controller in the box, so a second controller is a must for those who want to get stuck into multi-player gaming. The PS5 DualSense (£59.99, $69.99, AU$109) boasts improved haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that deliver a more immersive experience. So while you can use the PS4 DualShock with the PS5, it doesn't offer the new features of the PS5 controller. We've listed today's best PS5 controller prices below.
PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
Not only does the PS5 offer 4K HDR gaming, it also has 3D audio. But if you want to enjoy it - and you do, because it's one of the console's best features - you'll need one of these. The Pulse 3D Wireless Headset launched at £89.95 ($99.99, AU$159) but we've listed today's cheapest deals below. Not convinced? Then you might like to have a peek at our pick of the best gaming headsets for all consoles.
PS5 HD Camera
This new camera peripheral (£50, $60, AU$100) lets you add yourself to gameplay videos or video chat during multiplayer marathons. It works with the DualSense controller's 'Create' button, so you can jump into the PS5's video editing functions. You can actually use the old PS4 camera with the PS5, but the new PS5 HD camera ups the quality. For the best prices on this handy accessory, cast your eyes over the box below.
PS5 Media Remote
Want to use your PS5 as an entertainment hub? The PlayStation 5 Media Remote (£24.99, $29.99, AU$49) is a handy remote that will help you navigate everything from Netflix to 4K Blu-ray discs. If you want to use your PS5 as a media streamer, it's a must-have and doesn't cost the earth. Here's our pick of today's best Sony PS5 Media Remote deals.
PS5 DualSense Charging Station
This nifty dock allows you to charge up two wireless DualSense controllers simultaneously, so you need never be powerless. It's become a bit of a hot buy and sold out ahead of the PS5 launch. It's easier to come by these days, and most big retailers have stock. Fancy a PS5 DualSense Charging Station (£24.99, $29.99, AU$49)? You'll find all the cheapest prices below.
When will more PS5 deals show up?
Most stockists are currently sold out but restocks are often (if fleeting).
More stock landed in the UK and US this week. Game, Currys PC World, Amazon US, Amazon UK, BT and EE are currently sold out, but are tipped to drop more stock as soon as today. (Here's all the latest pointers on where to buy a PS5).
As for the best PS5 deals, the official DualSense Controller is currently in stock at Amazon UK and at a discounted price (£59.99 £57.95). If you're waiting on a PS5, you might want to snap up an extra controller now, while stocks last.
That said, some of the best PS5 deals are to be had on games. Amazon is currently offering US gamers up to $10 off selected titles. While over at Walmart, you can pick up FIFA21 for $60 $29 - it's the PS4 version but it includes a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Given that most PS5 titles will run you at least £60 ($60, AU$100), that a cracking deal.
Meanwhile Best Buy members can get $10 in rewards when they purchase PS5 titles such as Far Cry 6 and Watch Dogs: Legion. Not a Best Buy member? It's free to join.
And, of course, there are plenty of deals to be had on the best gaming TVs. Sony has even certified selected models 'Ready for PS5', thus giving you an even better reason to splash out on a new screen.
Fancy a freebie? Sony is currently offering gamers a 7-day free trial of PlayStation Now, which includes access to the PS5 PlayStation Plus Collection (a selection of 20 games that had previously released on PS4, including God of War and The Last of Us: Remastered). We've also spotted some cheap PlayStation Plus deals lurking around.
So, although getting your hands on a PS5 console is currently a bit of a mission, we're expecting more and more PS5 deals to show up.
And finally, you still find plenty of PS4 deals and Xbox One deals, if you're fed up with waiting on PS5 or Xbox Series X availability.
