Upon entry to the site, users must login to the PlayStation Network in order to purchase a PS5 console.
UPDATE: When we gained access to the site at 10.58am, PS5 consoles were no longer in stock.
ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: When they’re available, you should be able to purchase PS5 consoles via the following links:
Sony Interactive Entertainment launched PlayStation Direct in Europe earlier this month.
The platform holder has reportedly been flying PS5 stock into the UK as it attempts to better meet demand in the run-up to Christmas.
It recently chartered three Boeing 747 jets from Seoul, South Korea to London, each loaded with nearly 50 pallets of PS5 consoles, according to The Sun.
The PS5 stock carried by each 747 was reportedly enough to require 12 articulated lorries per jet to transport the cargo to UK distribution centres.
