FULL STORY ======================================================================

Despite the global PS5 restock shortage, toy superstore Smyths is letting UK customers pre-order Sonys next-gen console if they do so in-store.

The retailer shared a tweet clarifying that both the standard and Digital Edition of the PS5 are now available to pre-order if customers hand over a deposit.

To clarify, this doesnt mean you can pre-order a PS5 online and pick up the console in-store, rather that you can now go into your local Smyths outlet, pay a deposit, and wait to be informed when to collect your new PS5.

As for when Smyths will receive new PS5s and therefore when those that do pre-order the console in-store can expect to collect one the jury is out.
