The PS5 is back this week with plenty of restocks. Good news for anyone who has been looking to buy the console for months. We take stock of new and used stocks live.
[Mis à jour le 27 mai 2022 à 16h41] The PS5 is still talked about so much.

As a result, getting the console is a bit of a feat. You have to react very quickly in the event of restocking of PS5 at French retailers, even faster at European retailers. To help you afford Sony’s latest console, here’s a live track of the current restocks.
