Which UK stores have PS5 stock for today, January 21?

UK buyers hunting for PS5s today, January 21, will need to head to Ebay. Sort by “Newly Listed” and “Buy It Now” to find the best deals out there. Use a price limit to avoid any of the ridiculous scalper prices.

If you haven’t already signed up for it, PSN members based in the UK, US, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg can register their interest to buy a PS5 directly from the PlayStation website here.

While Thursday saw both GAME and Amazon restocking PS5s, there have been no surprise drops since. Thankfully, the reliable @PS5StockAlertUK claims that a big drop is coming from Argos between January 25-28.

In other news, the creator of the PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi, doesn’t much care for the metaverse or virtual reality.

Those worried about exclusivity issues stemming from Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard can rest a little easier, as Activision titles will be forced to stay on PS5 and PS4 for now because of existing contracts.

The PlayStation Wrap-Up for 2021 is now live. However, it’s not working for some people. Here’s hoping it’s fixed soon!
