My boy has decided he wants a PS4 for christmas (he’s not having a PS5 before people suggest that) there doesn’t seem to be anywhere selling them. Is this because the 5 has been released?

Any recommendations where I can pick a PS4 up?

Thanks but for the moment I’m hoping to buy new so we get warranty etc.

All three of the major stores have them brand new.

I'm wondering how hard you looked :-)

They say it’s in stock but ...

When you add the PS4 to your basket with game it says it can’t be fulfilled - no stock

Curry’s says it’s in stock but only for click and collect. There’s nothing in the 138 stores ‘closest’ to my area.

Amazon says it’ll be delivered between mid December and mid Jan.

It’s the same story with most stores.


... I’ve looked fairly hard 😂

Seems to be 'in stock' and available for collection in a few days in my locality.

I should have known better than to doubt you. Sorry old chap :-) Especially after I have had such a b4ll ache trying to buy a Ps5 and have now experienced not being able to believe the websites.

I know you want a warranty but I'd definitely be considering a mint condition PS4 Pro on gumtree Their value has dropped off the edge since Ps5 release. You may even manage to get one unopened for a steal.

I had the same thought process but Mrs Darren9 is more
Reluctant.

I think we’re going to order from Argos and see what happens Thursday.
