While no-good scalpers might have shaken up the pre-order period for Sony's new PlayStation 5 console - which comes, of course, in two flavours, with a disc drive or in a purely digital model - the official UK launch day for the unit (and it is, indeed, A Unit) has arrived, and new stock has been promised!

With that in mind, we wanted to point you in the right direction for where you can, fingers and toes crossed, grab yourself a PlayStation 5. I mean, if we're searching for stock, there's a good chance you are too. Right? Right.

We've heard that Amazon will have more PlayStation 5 consoles in stock at midday on launch day, November 19th. So first things first, it's a good idea to keep an eye on their product page:

Naturally, it's not like this is an all your eggs in one basket kind of scenario - other stockists exist, so long as they actually do have stock.

Smyths Toy Superstore operates home delivery and/or click and collect on its stock - and it's not always a choice, so do check whether your PS5 purchase with them necessitates you leaving the house. Assuming they get some consoles in, here's where you can find them:

ShopTo has been a popular destination for gamers for a while now, and if you're used to their service, you might want to check their console stock levels, too:
