PS5 UK stock alert: Untapped retailer has HUNDREDS of PlayStation 5 consoles in stock now
PLAYSTATION 5 consoles are still available in the UK, although you'll need to spend a little extra to get hold of one in time for Christmas.
UPDATE: Another untapped retailer selling PS5 consoles is Gamebyte, which will restock the device later today (November 26).
A Gamebyte spokesperson has confirmed that PS5 stock will be available during the company's Facebook live broadcast.
The Facebook live event starts at 5pm later today, so tune in if you want a PS5.
"The stock will be dropped during our Facebook live shopping event which starts at 5pm this evening," a spokesperson told Daily Express.
Check out the Gamebyte website for a chance to buy a PlayStation 5 this Black Friday.
ORIGINAL: Despite PlayStation 5 restocks becoming more frequent, customers are still having a hard time getting hold of stock.
The only steady source of PS5 stock has been the second-hand market, but this means spending more than the recommended retail price.
If you're desperate to secure a PlayStation 5 for Christmas and are willing to spend a little extra, then it's worth checking out the Cash Converters website.
At the time of writing, the retailer currently has hundreds of PS5 consoles in stock, both in disc form and digital.
Most of the PS5 consoles are brand new and boxed, although they have been unsealed to check the contents.
The only downside is that the disc-based PS5 consoles cost £649.99, which is a higher price than you'd pay from the likes of GAME, Argos and Amazon.
However, it's still a lot cheaper than second-hand PlayStation 5 consoles at their peak, which were fetching upwards of £1,000.
If you don't want to pay more for a PS5 and would rather wait for an official restock, then Express Online runs a weekly live blog featuring all the latest alerts.

PlayStation 5 shopping tips when buying from GAME...
• Get familiar with the bundles, so you know which one to target first: Obscure bundles are easier to get, standalones almost impossible. [GAME]
• When alerted, click through to your first bundle of choice as quickly as possible, this will get you into the queue. [GAME]
• If it says it's failed when trying to checkout, it means that bundle is now OOS. So go back to the bundles and pick another one. [GAME]
• Checking out too much too quickly will give you a 30-60 second timeout, so don't rush it. If this happens, just wait a bit then try again. [GAME]
