Numerous tipsters are reporting that GAME will have some PlayStation 5 stock available today, sometime after 8am. GAME have recently updated their website with new PS5 bundles with delivery dates of 8th March 2021. You can try your luck using the link below.
UPDATE: Apparently if you hit the pre-order button you can get in the queue early. However, finding the consoles before they are officially out is a bit of a faff but I found a couple of bundles you can find them here. There’s some more here, both are for digital, and here are links to disc based console pre-orders. Try searching on GAME for “PlayStation 5” and “Additional Dualsense” ,”Miles Morales”, “Gameware”, “Camera”, that sort of than and you should get some results.

Last time I checked Tesco doesn’t go buying all the available milk from Asda, Sainburys, Morrisons, Aldi, and Lidl for 70p and then selling it on in their own store for £2.10 though… They are deluded if they think they are providing a service – this is nothing to do with the difference between wholesale and retail, they are deliberately preventing access to retail products and then demanding many time the RRP value of the item to give consumers access back to it. I urge people never to buy from a scalper no matter how badly you want it – if there is no market for them there is no incentive to keep buying them, and as a bonus they will be thousands out of pocket. I’m all for the motion to make the practice illegal in the UK…Log in to reply

Investors in Sony have been informed that the PlayStation 5 has so far made a loss on sales in a quarterly report.
The report detailed the 4.5million consoles sold, and how placing them at a lower cost than manufacture, a “strategic price point”, has resulted in losses.
However, when combining the PlayStation revenue from game sales across the PS4 and PS5 platforms, any shortfall is seemingly made up, according to Sony. Both consoles sold similarly in their first few months of launch, with the PS4 racking up sales of 4.2million between November and December 2013.
