If you are hunting for a PlayStation 5 consoles then good news, Currys have console in stock right now. Bad news: You’ll have to fork out at least £300 over the base price of the console and buy a bunch of accessories and a game as well.

It is a bit nasty of Currys to do this. They know PS5’s are in short supply, but they are inflating their profits by insisting you buy a bundle with extra controllers, a headset, a remote and other bobbins. An extra controller is always handy but most gamers will already have a headset, and they are charging full price for the games such as Horizon Forbidden West, a game you can get at £15 below the RRP on Amazon.

The packs also include a Western Digital SN850 1TB SSD storage drive with heatsink, to boost the internal 825GB, which is another nice addition but still a costly extra.

Technically you are making a saving with the pack, the PS5 is £450, Horizon is £70, an extra DualSense is £65, the WD Black SSD with heatsink is £170, and the Headset is £50, so £805 in total, so you do save £50 on the RRP. However, as mentioned many of these items are discounted in places such as Amazon, so you can get pretty much the same value from buying everything separately.

If you are that desperate for a console, or do want all those extra items then head over to Currys before they sell out.
