Update: Argos stock has now gone live. Head on over to Argos' website to pick one up before it runs out. Lots of stock is available for disc and digital consoles, so why wait?
If you are struggling to secure one, make sure to check physical stores. Argos has a good reputation of selling stock in person and you could walk away with a console in minutes. Outside of this, Amazon has also dropped stock this morning and we're expecting big things from GAME in the coming days.
Original Story: It's a good week to get a PS5. Not only has the new Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game launched today to better reviews than we possibly could have imagined, but an abundance of retailers are having PS5 restocks throughout the week. Huzzah!
Already BT has sent out its latest batch of codes to customers, followed by EE similarly having a restock for Pay Monthly customers. While great for those already subscribed to these mobile retailers, it's not the best of news for consumers who just want to grab a PS5 console without having to take out a monthly plan.
Well, fear not! More good news has arrived and this time it's Argos that will have a restock – the second time in one week. This was confirmed by the hugely reliable PS5 Stock UK Twitter account (over 186,000 followers), which confirmed that Argos stores around the country have received their latest batch of PS5 consoles. These will now go up for sale from 8AM BST on October 27th.

The last Argos restock took place on October 20th. Likewise, it was scheduled for 8AM BST but the stock wasn't made available across all platforms until gone 9AM BST. We actually stumbled upon a way of pre-ordering a console via iOS on iPad only much earlier than the majority, so this might be worth a try again. If not, make sure to be online ahead of time.

A decent number of standard and digital PS5 consoles were available and we're expecting another sizable shipment once more. We always recommend going for bundles where possible – and for Argos specifically, it's well worth stopping by your local physical store to make the purchase. Lots of consumers walked away with the console within minutes of visiting, so definitely do try.
Aside from this, we're expecting big things from Amazon and GAME this week so plenty of opportunities to secure a console before Black Friday. Better yet, head on over to the official T3 PS5 restock tracker for the latest information.
