UK retailer Argos has been targeted by PS5 scalping groups, which may have contributed to lower-than-expected availability during a recent stock update. In the early morning hours of January 26, UK players were delighted to see the PS5 back in stock at Argos. But, as we have seen time and time again, the stock lasted much shorter than expected, amid widespread problems. Not only was the site buggy, alongside the app, but there was also supposedly less stock than expected on the already limited supply of consoles.
Multiple sources (who wished to remain anonymous) confirmed to IGN that this was in part because individuals were able to order PS5 consoles from Argos on January 25, a full day before the aforementioned official stock drop. This was due to a flaw discovered by the Express Notify scalping group, a paid Discord server that shared links that allowed users to purchase the PS5 before the general public even knew about the new stock. Express Notify has been publicly acknowledged, with many of its users posting their orders for multiple consoles.
