Many customers hoping to get hold of a PlayStation 5 on its launch day have been left disappointed after online retailers sold out of the console. In an email to customers, Game blamed courier firm Yodel, which has strenuously denied it is at fault, for some pre-ordered consoles not being delivered on launch day. Currys PC World and John Lewis had sold out of the PS5 by lunchtime. That led some gamers to pay nearly double the retail price on eBay. The PS5 was released in the UK on 19 November but lockdown has meant that people cannot purchase one in physical stores. The US launch took place last week.Currys PC World was forced to institute a virtual queuing system which grew to 150,000 long.
