Sony Playstation 5s and rival Microsoft X Box Series X are among the most in-demand Christmas 2020 presents.

Expect to queue online if you are trying to buy a PS5 today.

The PlayStation 5 officially went on sale in the UK today (November 19).

Unfortunately, many avid gamers across Kent, have spent launch day trying and failing to get their hands on one.

Customers have experienced both Tesco and John Lewis websites crashing, while attempting to purchase the latest gaming sensation.

GAME has also sent out emails saying that not all consoles will be available to be delivered on release day and currently have an estimated wait time of over an hour to purchase the console online.

It looks like fans of the Sony game system will need to wait to get their hands on a copy of the console after the pandemic and low stock has cause shortages for most stores.

Those looking for a quick and easy way to know when stock will be available can try Stock Informer which will automatically notify you when new stock arrives and where.

Asda is expecting a restock sometime today but this isn’t guarenteed.

The Playstation 5 selling for £449.99 or a digital PS5 edition for£349.99 has quickly become the most sought after and is currently completely sold out in all major retailers.

Your best bet is to rely on stock informer for updates live or take your chances with GAME’s hour long queue unless you want to pay a pretty penny extra on eBay.

THE wait is over!

The Playstation 5 went on sale in the UK at 8am this morning - and just like last week’s launch of the XBox Series X and S, it sold out in most locations extremely fast.

Amazon, GAME, BT, Curry’s, Argos, John Lewis, Very and Sony were all out of stock within a matter of hours and at the moment it appears nowhere in the UK has any consoles remaining.

Keep checking this page for latest stock locations and updates, however, in case stores release a last minute batch this afternoon.
