We're continuing to see plenty of consoles on the shelves right now, as the PS5 restock war takes a break to enjoy a bountiful supply of stock. That means you can get your hands on both standalone consoles and bundles in the US and UK right now, and we're showing you exactly how to do so
**Walmart** (opens in new tab) should be your first stop over in the US - we've spotted the aforementioned God of War: Ragnarok bundle live on the shelves for the standard $559 MSRP today. However, if you're after a console by itself, then you'll be heading to either **Amazon** (opens in new tab) or **Sony** (opens in new tab). The former is sending out its email invites today, whereas we've spotted standalone consoles flickering in and out of stock at the latter
Over in the UK,
**Currys** (opens in new tab) and **Very** (opens in new tab) are straddling the market right now. The former has standalone consoles and bundles on the shelves with speedy delivery. Meanwhile, Very is offering the cheapest bundle we've found today - a £449.99 package including the Digital Edition device and a copy of God of War: Ragnarok

## Our PS5 restock top tips
We've been tracking PS5 restocks since the console launched, scouring the web day after day for even a hint of a DualSense on the shelves. That means we've seen hundreds of drops come and go and resisted the urge to dive into each and every one ourselves. We've certainly picked up some tips and tricks to finding these elusive drops along the way
**1. Register for email invites
**This is the first thing you need to do as soon as you consider buying a PS5. Amazon and Sony both offer the chance to sign up for an email invite to their future stock drops and you should be taking them up on it. While you're not guaranteed a win in these situations, you will have a far greater chance of waking up to some good news. **2. Sign in and save your details
**If you come across a PS5 restock out in the wild, the last thing you'll want to be doing is faffing at checkout. This is where we see the vast majority of punters missing out, their consoles sniped from right under their noses. This is a race, so you'll need to be as speedy through the process as possible. The best way to do so is sign in with all the retailers above and save your payment and shipping details to reduce clicks when it's crunch time. **3. Consider memberships
**While this isn't such a big deal as it was earlier in the year (Best Buy has stopped reserving stock for its Total Tech members and Amazon doesn't require a Prime account any longer), Walmart still aims its restocks at its Plus members only. It's worth investing in a month's membership if you hear about a Walmart restock due. You'll have plenty of advance warning with this particular retailer. **4. Follow social media
**Social media has been a saving grace in the great console race - it's simply the fastest way to find out about stock drops happening right now. And you'll need that speed. We're still seeing PS5s selling out in minutes at certain US retailers (the UK seems to be holding out a little longer), which means every second counts once a store pushes that big red button. **5. Keep refreshing
**Refreshing a site's page when you know a restock is going down all around you means you'll have the best chance to landing on a good wave. These sites go bananas when consoles land, which means they can often buckle under the pressure and show an out of stock message. Keep trying and you'll likely catch a winning loop. **6. Don't give up
**If you've hammered that refresh button to death and you're still getting nowhere, don't give up. We sometimes see sites turning off the faucet when the demand grows too high, only to switch those consoles back on again once interest has waned. Stick around for another wave of stock and you could get lucky. **7. Don't buy from marketplace sellers
**If you're new to the PS5 restock race you may be tempted to sink some extra cash into a scalper's listing. Don't. There are plenty of PS5 restocks happening every month and there's no need to pay more than the MSRP
Should you buy PS5 restock bundles?
Picking up a PS5 by itself is far more difficult than finding it bundled up with some games and accessories. Retailers prefer to package extra kit into their listings, and they do tend to stick around on the shelves a lot longer. We'd always recommend checking the value of the additional PS5 accessories you're buying against the total of the bundle, however, to make sure you're not being ripped off - you should only ever pay MSRP for anything you find
Is it still hard to buy PS5?
The state of PS5 stock today depends on your region. In the US, individual consoles are particularly difficult to locate and even bundles represent a rare opportunity. However, over in the UK we're seeing far more bundles holding their position on the shelves (standalone consoles are still rare)
