Today, January 18, 2022, there’s yet another opportunity for eager customers to register their interest in buying a PS5 directly from PlayStation.

Ebay is another option for those who want to buy a PS5 right now. While there are many listings from greedy folks charging extortionate premium prices, there are also some better deals to be had.

Which UK stores have PS5 stock for today, January 18?
For those in the UK, the best place to buy a PS5 today, January 18, is Ebay. However, UK PSN members can register their interest to buy a PS5 directly from the PlayStation website here.
As mentioned, Ebay is worth a look, so long as you implement filters to avoid the ridiculously high scalper pricing. Sorting by “Buy It Now” and “New Listings,” as well as using a price limit, will help cut through the terrible deals. At the time of writing, “Used” and “Refurbished” PS5s are selling for £50-80 above RRP. That’s not too bad, provided you can verify the seller hasn’t voided the system’s warranty and that there is nothing wrong with the console.
According to @PS5StockAlertUK, Argos is the one to watch in the coming weeks, as stock is expected between January 25-28. Stay tuned for an update on that as soon as we learn more.
Once you’ve hunted down a PS5, get caught up on the best PS Plus discounts for today. Highlights include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Crysis Remastered.
