The PS5 is back this week. Finally, Sony’s next-gen console made brief appearances on the Carrefour and Micromania sites, and is available from SRF in a new fiber + console offer. Our update on live stocks, and all our buying advice.
[Mis à jour le 14 avril 2022 à 12h07] For potential PS5 buyers, April isn’t the brightest month of the lot. The console has only made two brief appearances on the web in recent days, and is showing up in an SFR box + console offer this Thursday. The restocking of the home console is very limited, after a month of March quite full of offers, making the purchase of the PS5 all the more complex. Concretely, for a buyer, the competition is fierce, the offers are reduced and the purchasing windows are very short. Sony’s console has indeed been in high demand since its release due to its high-flying performance and relatively reasonable price (new). Here’s our live PS5 inventory tracker along with our 10 tips for a hassle-free purchase and the best used console deals.
Our update on PS5 stocks from Thursday, April 14:
- 11h40 : The console back at Auchan alone or in packs!
- 11h20 : Consoles are available in a fiber box offer + SFR consoles
- 07h00 : For the moment, despite what is announced on other sites, no restocking of the console is planned today. However, it can be found used and at a high price on the Rakuten site.
Unfortunately, strong demand has, as always, greatly penalized potential buyers of the console on Wednesday, particularly on the Carrefour site. This was the first restocking of the console for about two weeks, which explains the huge demand and the many queues to access the Micromania site. But these two new “drops” could also pave the way for other restocking, at Fnac or CDiscount for example.

Getting a PS5 is a far cry from the usual stroll through supermarkets or just ordering on the internet. Since the release of the console in December 2020, its situation remains very specific. Released directly out of stock and in the midst of a global pandemic, the PS5 quickly became an object of legend. Rare were those who could obtain another and rarer still the copies available for sale. Since then, hunting the Playstation 5 has almost become a sport, with its rules, its players and its referees. If you want to learn more about the different tips you need to know to buy your console, the slide below is for you.
