PS5 stock - FAQs
How often is the PS5 available to buy?
Generally speaking, the PS5 is now readily available everywhere in both disc and digital versions standalone and with bundles.
How much does a PS5 cost?
The PS5 costs $499 (£479 / AU$799.95) - that's the same price as Microsoft's Xbox Series X in the US, but more expensive in the UK and Australia after the recent price hike. The cheaper PS5 Digital Edition is priced at $399.99 (£389.99 / AU$649.95).
It's almost guaranteed that both versions of the console will remain at this price for some time. Demand is still astronomically high for the console and Sony sees no reason to discount it for the time being. It even bumped up the price of the console in many regions due to increased production costs.
Should I buy the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition?
The standard PS5 is able to play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and physical games which makes it the better all-rounder if you want to build up a collection. In contrast, the PS5 Digital Edition is a little cheaper and doesn't include a disc drive as the name would imply. This means you're solely limited to buying and streaming games and media from the PlayStation Store through the Game Catalog and streaming apps respectively. The choice will depend on your lifestyle.
Why was PS5 stock so low originally?
A fine question, and the source of much strife and anguish when the PS5 first launched in late 2020. Simply put, Sony didn't anticipate the huge demand that there was for the PS5 and thus didn't have its supply chains in the position necessary to meet the demand. This was likely made 'worse' by the pandemic which brought in huge extra numbers of gamers and fans and likely shoppers who wanted the latest console given the extra hours everyone was spending at home.
