ASDA restocked PS5s on their online store this morning.
The PlayStation5 is the most sought-after gadget on the planet right now with gamers desperately trying to get their hands on a new console.
Following its November release, Brits have found it nearly impossible to find Sony’s latest gaming console – so many were delighted when Asda confirmed more stock would be dropping online this morning.
However, the new consoles sold out in around a minute after landing on the site.
🚨 The #PS5 is now in stock at ASDA!

Anger as Asda PS5 stock sells out
Many customers were left disappointed after the quickly selling PS5s were labelled as “out of stock”.
One wrote on Twitter: “Out of stock one minute after stock drop! Something very wrong with all of this Asda.”
While another added: “There is no way they all sold out that quick without bots.”
Another frustrated customer said: “Asda didn’t coat themselves in any glory with this one.
“No queue, no verification, no policies in place.
“Just chuck them online and let the quickest bot take them all.”
