Want the full lowdown on the best PS5 deals? While the ultra-powered gaming behemoth is much more readily available than it was upon release, it's not quite the most ubiquitous console around. Sony's next-gen tower of gaming power is one of the most sought-after Christmas gifts of the year, and given just how many quality games are available on it right now, from Spider-Man 2 to God of War Ragnarök, it's not really much of a shock. It's high time you put Old Faithful (your eight-year-old PS4) to rest and made the upgrade.
Regardless of the type of game you enjoy – from a gritty, brain-crunching slog like Elden Ring to a tense battle royale like Apex Legends – your PS5 will be able to handle it with graphical confidence, and the inclusion of Sony's haptic feedback DualSense controller, you'll be living every second of those tense fights through your very fingertips.
If there's only a passing interest in gaming, but you've got your eye on any number of other gadgets and gifts in the sale, be that a top-tier beard trimmer, a new mattress to save your aching back, or a quality pair of noise-cancelling headphones, we've got a huge range of guides and roundups to help you navigate the great, vast waters of the online shopping world.
The best PS5 deals
Today, the PS5 dips in and out of stock at retailers like Amazon, Very, GAME, John Lewis, Argos, AO, Currys and ShopTo, which all will be taking part in the Black Friday sales in one form or another. You’ll also find some PS5 consoles pop up on sites like eBay, Smyths, StockX, OnBuy, The Game Collection, EE, and BT. It’s also worth bearing in mind that you’ll need to be a customer with EE or BT to complete your purchase.
At the time of writing, a few retailers have some PS5 consoles in stock, either individually, or as part of a larger bundle which can include a game and/or extra controller.

PlayStation 5 UK retailers
Amazon PS5 stock
As things stand, the PS5 pages for both models state that they are available, but you can expect a few more deals to crop up closer to the big event. Right now, It's worth stocking up on some games so you’re sorted for when you finally do snap a PS5 — heavy hitters such as Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West are readily available.
GAME PS5 stock
The standalone PS5 console is currently in stock at Game, and there are some bundles available, the cheapest being a sensationally low £409 for the console and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as a pre-order, complete with a blue DualSense Wireless Controller. You can also snap up a whole host of PS5 gaming headsets, as well as spare PS5 controllers, charging docks, and steering wheels.
eBay PS5 stock
You can always rely on eBay for two things — stock of anything that’s hard to find, and over-inflated prices. It goes without saying that you should approach eBay with extreme caution, as it can be a minefield of rip-off prices and scammers. That’s not to say you can’t find what you’re looking for though — make sure you read the description, check out sellers’ ratings, and use your common sense. If a Buy it Now price for a PS5 seems too good to be true, it probably is. Triple-check everything (including detailed info which might state that it’s a faulty unit etc), and if you’re not sure, don’t pull the trigger.
ShopTo PS5 stock
UK-based ShopTo has a reassuring Trustpilot score of 4.6 (in case you were unfamiliar with them), and has limited PS5 units in stock at the time of writing. Like some other retailers, when it does have stock, it only appears to be in the form of a bundle, with the cheapest being the Horizon Forbidden West bundle for £499.85.
Argos PS5 stock
Argos is, blessedly, well-stocked when it comes to the PS5 and its bumper set of bundles. For example, grab EA FC 24 with your shiny, powerhouse console for £539 right now or just get the console on its own for £479 and then download what you wish.
Elsewhere, you can grab the special edition colour-schemed PS5 bundle with Spider-Man 2 to flex your undying love for Venom for just £569. The red/black colourway looks devilishly good and the game itself is even better.
Very PS5 stock
Once a saviour for those looking for PS5 stock, Very remains a quality pick for discounted gaming of the highest order. However, the site has told us that it's running out of stock incredibly quickly, so pounce on the deals while you can.
The base console just on its own (though with a DualSense controller) is £479 or go for the more affordable all-digital one for £439. Bundling it up with a game will usually add an additional £60 or so, which is more than worth it considering you can get stuck into the gaming as soon as you unbox it.
EE PS5 stock
Similarly to BT, EE offers existing customers a chance to buy PS5 consoles (along with other accessories like TVs and headphones), though the only option available is for monthly payments as opposed to a one-off purchase. If you decide to sign up with EE specifically to get a console, this means you could be paying more than £500+ total, depending on the tariff you choose.
John Lewis PS5 stock
John Lewis is a great retailer to grab a discount on the biggest tech, and the PS5 is no different. The cheapest model will get you Call of Duty and the console for £409, which is a staggeringly good price on one of the latest games and consoles.
Currys PS5 stock
Last, but by no means least, Currys remains a top contender for your purchase, largely because it has some of the best prices available on the PS5. Whether you're after the very basic all-digital edition (£389), the standard edition (£479) or have it bundled up with a game of your choice, like with EA FC 24 (£539) and then add one or two extra accessories like a controller or a charging stand for the ultimate gaming package.
