Sony seem to be catching up with PS4 demand, in the UK at least, with the PS4 now back at stock at GAME stores. The standalone console and various bundles are available to purchase in stores and online. At time of writing, the console is still in stock but they may not be for long. Tesco also has stock available, while Amazon.co.uk will be getting more stock in next week.
Sony has revealed that shipments of PS4 will arrive at game retailers across the UK this week via adverts in national newspapers today. The next-gen console is selling fast in the UK, with over half a million units sold in its first five weeks. The standalone PS4 has already sold out on Amazon.co.uk, but the Knack bundle will be getting more stock on January 15th.
Sony is planning to combat PS4 shortages in the UK by providing regular shipments of the console, with Sony UK Boss Fergal Gara suggesting a second wave of stock to arrive within days of the November 29th launch. Speaking with Eurogamer, Gara confirmed that “everybody who has pre-ordered to date will definitely get a console prior to Christmas. The cut-off date for that was 5th August.”
