Playstation 5 Availability

Could someone kindly advise. I haven't pre-ordered one and you can't right now for the 19th November as sold out. Will I be able to get one for Christmas or have I left it too late?
Thanks

    It might be possible but who knows.

    Have you asked any of the retailers when they expect more stock for those who didnt preorder?

    I'm on alerts with all the retailers. Hopefully will be further stock but they don't seem to be providing any information

    Perhaps they cant yet provide information.

    Im confident more stock will be available, it just might need a little patience. Just dont get sucked into paying for over the odds for one. Would be alot people upset they wouldnt be able to get one for a present or fpr themselves.

    I find it crazy that we are on one hand saying how everyone is struggling financially, yet the ps5 is sold out before it even goes on sale. Everyone is up in arms about the government refusing to extend the child food vouchers. Yet the PS5 costing over £400 is sold out. 
    I bet some families pleading poverty will still find the money for a PS5. They will be up in arms at the government not providing resources to feed their children, but will
    find the money to buy a games console. 
    The money they have borrow to buy the PS5 will not be paid back, they will be on the debt free wannabes site pleading for help to get out debt. 
    They will get sympathy and people telling them that they don’t need to pay it back. 
    Yet the honest family’s who are sensible, and who know they cannot afford the PS5, will say the person is silly for getting into debt, will
    get hammered on the boards for not being nice. You couldn’t make it up. 
    Debt free. March 2020
    Mortgage free-August 2021
    Planned retirement date- 19/5/2026
    £29500 saved. Target £420000(19/05/2026)

    Have to agree here.
    Mind boggling one minute they are struggling for money and next minute they have a shiny new console. Theres paremts who just dont know how to say no to the kids when they can't afford one, I wonder how many meals £450 would pay for.

    Completely agree. Easy credit, lack of financial education & the continuation of kicking the debt can down the road is nothing short of a disaster waiting to happen !
    I'm getting the new Xbox , but I've been having saving for it since earlier on in the year. 

    Instant gratification is one huge burden to families. It's easier to say "NO"

    All PS5 Consoles will be Available online only on the 12th/19th November
    So there should be limited stock on launch day at select retailers which will be 2nd wave/batch of consoles which will be delivered by Mid December maybe before.

    If your lucky select retailers might have pre order stock before launch day

    7 weeks ago I heard some playstation 5 were selling on a facebook page, I had not made a determination to getting one on that day but now they were sold out.  what a pity.
    I wouldnt have bought via facebook whether an ad or a private seller.
    Use a reputable website like shopto, Game, Argos or thegamecollection.
