PS5 restock updates - Your guide to buying a PlayStation 5
PS5 restocks are back in business today, with a new November 11 date for Amazon's next stock drop and God of War: Ragnarok bundles lining the shelves in both the US and UK. We've trawled through these digital aisles to find all of today's PS5 stock and we've rounded up everything in a neat little action plan right here.
That means you'll want to head to Amazon to get signed up for the next wave of PS5 restocks this week. We've been seeing stock landing here weekly for a good while now, so it's definitely worth dropping your email address. Last week we did spot the standalone console drop its invite system, and still remains unavailable to this day. However, the Horizon Forbidden West bundle is still trucking on. If you're after a console right now, and don't mind paying a little more for a bundle, you'll find plenty of God of War: Ragnarok packages available at Sony as well.
Over the in the UK, last week's Digital Edition stock seems to have returned to Game's shelves. There, you'll find the cheapest bundle on the shelves right now, with a FIFA 23 package sitting at £449.99.
You'll find all the latest PS5 restock action just below, as well as the retailers you should be checking every day and our own top tips for finding new stock further down the page.
And just before we cut right to it, remember that the Black Friday PS5 deals and Black Friday gaming deals are just around the corner. While we might not see a price cut on the consoles themselves, we could see some extra bundles appear, or some great price cuts across games and accessories.
Where to buy PS5 today
You'll find the current PS5 stock situation as of 11.45am ET / 4.45pm GMT on Wednesday, November 9 below.
Amazon | Register for email invites (next drop November 11)
Amazon's next PS5 restock is slated for November 11, which means its time to get your name down on the email invite list if you haven't done so already. While the standalone console is still tapped out of these drops today, we're seeing the option available on the Horizon Forbidden West bundle.
US - Sony | God of War bundles in stock
If you're looking to buy PS5 outright today, your next stop will be Sony. The brand has its own God of War: Ragnarok bundles on the shelves right now. While you're paying a little more to cover the cost of the game, it's the best place to pick up a new console today.
UK - Game - Digital Edition bundles in stock (£449.99)
We first saw these Digital Edition bundles return to the shelves last week, but they were quickly run off again. With the rest of Game's bundles out of stock today, though, this FIFA 23 package is back in business and the cheapest way to grab a console in the UK right now.
PS5 restocks - US
Amazon - register for email invites (next restock November 11)
The standalone PS5 console seems to have slipped from Amazon's email invite system today, but there's still good news. The Horizon Forbidden West bundle is restocking on Friday November 11, so it's well worth getting your name down if you haven't already.
Sony - God of War bundles in stock
Sony has got the PS5 back on the shelves today, with God of War: Ragnarok bundles ready to ship. You'll still need a PSN ID to purchase here, but it's your best bet for getting an order in right now.
Best Buy - last seen November 7
Best Buy had its first PS5 restock for a good few months earlier this week, but this one didn't stick around. Reserved for Total Tech members, this latest wave of consoles flew off the shelves and haven't been seen since.
Walmart - Last restock September 9
Walmart had a Horizon Forbidden West bundle on the shelves for a record amount of time over the last two weeks, with stock showing up day after day without wavering. However, it seems this honeymoon has come to an end, with the console unavailable today.
GameStop - last restock September 24
GameStop has been out of the rat race recently, but an in-store drop over the weekend has changed all that. We saw Pro Members rocking up to brick and mortar stores to enjoy exclusive PS5 bundles recently, so there may be more shipments making their way online soon.
Target - last restock April 15
Target has moved to an in-store first approach, which means you'll be able to scout out local stock without competing against the entire country. The last time we saw an online PS5 restock here was back in April, so we'd recommend checking your regional availability.
PS5 restocks - UK
Amazon - sign up for email invites
Amazon is the best place to get your eye on a standalone console in the UK. While other retailers have had spotty stock over the last few months, we'd heavily recommend having this running the background. If you're lucky, you'll receive an exclusive link to buy a PS5 console in your inbox during the next restock wave.
Game - cheapest bundle £449.99
This FIFA 23 Digital Edition bundle has just swooped back onto the shelves at Game. While the retailer's other packages are now out of stock, we're still seeing availability on this cheaper option. That might not last too long, though.
Sony - cheapest bundle £539.99
While we were previously seeing standalone PS5 stock on the shelves at Sony, we're back to bundles today. FIFA 23 is the order of the day here, available with a disk console for £539.99.

Very - cheapest bundle £604.99
Very has the God of War: Ragnarok bundle live and on the shelves right now. While the store's allocation of individual bundle packages has run dry, you do still have the option to buy with an extra DualSense controller for £604.
Studio - cheapest bundle £629.99
You're actually getting pretty solid value in this £629.99 PS5 bundle at Studio. Packed with God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II there's a total value of £669.96 here. That means you're saving around £40 by going bigger with your purchase.

Currys - cheapest bundle £699
Currys' cheaper bundles have been swept off the shelves today, but we are still seeing disk edition consoles live and ready to ship. These packages are a little pricier, at £699, but come with an extra DualSense controller, copies of Gotham Knights and God of War: Ragnarok, and a Razer Barracuda X headset.
Scan - cheapest bundle £779
Scan is offering a mega bundle in its latest round of PS5 restocks. You can pick up the PS5 console, a copy of FIFA 23, a DualSense controller, Pulse 3D headset, and Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD for £779 right now. That's perfect if you're after everything you need from day one.

ShopTo - last seen November 8
ShopTo was one of the first retailers offering the God of War: Ragnarok bundle earlier this week, but that stock has now flown off the shelves. Stay tuned here, though, because we consistently see some of the lowest bundle prices around on these shelves.
Box - last seen November 2
Box briefly had a particularly strong bundle on the shelves - with a saving on the included accessories no less. However, these packages have now been snapped up.
BT- last seen October 12
BT has been offering PS5 stock to its own customers for weeks now, but it looks like that supply has finally run dry. You won't find any consoles here at the moment, but stay tuned because these are often some of the best value bundles out there.
Argos - last seen September 20
Argos doesn't have any PS5 consoles in the warehouse this week, dropping the last of its stock at the start of the week. However, this is a post-code system so it's always worth checking in to see if there are any at your local store.

Our PS5 restock top tips
We've been tracking PS5 restocks since the console launched, scouring the web day after day for even a hint of a DualSense on the shelves. That means we've seen hundreds of drops come and go and resisted the urge to dive into each and every one ourselves. We've certainly picked up some tips and tricks to finding these elusive drops along the way.
Should you buy PS5 restock bundles?
Picking up a PS5 by itself is far more difficult than finding it bundled up with some games and accessories. Retailers prefer to package extra kit into their listings, and they do tend to stick around on the shelves a lot longer. We'd always recommend checking the value of the additional PS5 accessories you're buying against the total of the bundle, however, to make sure you're not being ripped off - you should only ever pay MSRP for anything you find.
Is it still hard to buy PS5?
The state of PS5 stock today depends on your region. In the US, individual consoles are particularly difficult to locate and even bundles represent a rare opportunity. However, over in the UK we're seeing far more bundles holding their position on the shelves (standalone consoles are still rare).
Another item you might want to pick up once you've been able to buy a PS5 is one of the options on our best PS5 external hard drives page to increase your storage capacity. Or if you've got the need for speed, the best PS5 SSD might be worth a look.
