Update: All EE and BT PS5 stock has now sold out. EE sold out within the first 48 hours, while BT lasted almost five days. Lots of bundles were available for BT customers, so it might be a good month or so before another restock of this size.
To keep up with all of the latest restock details, head to the official T3 PS5 restock tracker for the latest information.
Original Story: It's a good day to get a PlayStation 5 console. BT and EE are both now live with PS5 stock, giving consumers an amazing opportunity to walk away with Sony's new next-gen console. Anyone looking for a PS5 console should head to either the BT Shop or EE Shop to get one now. More than 24 hours on and stock is still available.
This is the first restock from both retailers in April and the first time this year that both have gone live with PS5 stock simultaneously. BT has seven options: a standalone PS5 disc console and six different PS5 disc console featuring the likes of Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, an additional DualSense controller, and more. You must be a BT customer to purchase the console, which is done by claiming a unique customer code.
EE, on the other hand, has four PS5 bundles up for grabs. These all come with a PS5 disc console and either Gran Turismo 7, a Sony HD camera, an additional DualSense controller or a 12-month subscription to PS Plus so you can play online games. Again, you need to be an EE account holder but it's slightly different to how BT's system works. We have a handy guide that explains the process.
