**Update On Release Dates**
As we get closer to Gran Turismo 7's release on the 4th of March for [PlayStation 5](https://amzn.to/33VUhGs) and [PlayStation 4](https://amzn.to/3homr04), we're entering another exciting month for possible PS5 restocks by UK gaming and electronics retailers. The first official hint of a PS5 drop in March has come by [GAME](https://fave.co/3ofMFoo), as they have updated the release dates listed on the [PS5 bundles page](https://fave.co/3Eo6eBj) per bundle.
The dates on this page show a release date of 25/03/2022. Do not get confused by GAME's wording, as this does not mean the bundles will be released for pre-orders on the 25th of March. The release dates written by GAME is the last day they guarantee to their customers that their bundle will be shipped (standard delivery). Usually, GAME drops PS5's a week or two before the release date they show on their website, meaning, we can comfortably predict that these PS5 bundles should be available to pre-order online between the 15th and 18th of March.
With the information available as of the time of writing this article, we can confirm that those who order a PS5 bundle via standard delivery (£10) can expect their bundle to be shipped by GAME on the 25th of March at the __latest__. There is no information regarding the expected date of priority orders (£20) shipping at the moment however, we can roughly estimate that this would most likely be around the 21st of March at the __latest__. This means that, whether you choose standard or priority delivery options, your PS5 bundle may still ship before the given dates.
At the time of writing this article, we can see that the PS5 bundles on GAME's website are only Disc Edition consoles, with Digital Edition consoles being unlisted (hidden), which could indicate that the next drop will also be a Disc Edition drop only. Though, we believe this page has not been updated with the product listings yet, since they still have [Horizon Forbidden West](https://amzn.to/3phXBDi) bundles. We could expect GAME to update these bundles with the upcoming Gran Turismo 7 racing title. There, we may see Digital Editions in that drop, after all, only time will tell.

**Tips and Tricks**
Once the predicted GAME drop is live, you are highly recommended to use a guest account rather than being logged in. The reason for this is, that we've had multiple reports in the past by our followers over on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PS5StockAlertUK) and our members over on [Discord](https://discord.gg/stockchecker), that __some__ people have been forced to be logged out during the queueing process, leading them to lose out on precious time in securing a PlayStation 5. For this reason, we advise you to stay logged out, and checkout as a guest whilst attempting to secure a PS5 bundle via GAME.
If you're worried about the credits/points you could've gained by the PS5 bundle purchase via a logged-in account, do not worry. You may contact GAME's customer service team and prove that you've made an order on their website (the PS5 bundle), and also prove the account that you own, and they can give you the points you missed out on, right into your existing GAME account by connecting your account with the order you've made as a guest. This way, you could spend those points the next time you shop with GAME.
When you're in the GAME queue by Queue-it, do not refresh the queue. The queue will do all the automatic refreshing for you, which is why it's a 'live queue'. Queuing up on multiple different devices could be effective in getting past that queue however, GAME's queue is based on a first come first serve basis, therefore, whichever device you enter the queue with first, will be the first device that'll be successfully past the queue out of all the devices you use.
Some people ask if mobile or desktop is better to use for GAME drops or any drop in general. What we generally advise is, to use the mobile app of a retailer that has one. GAME has a mobile app but it's only to provide information, they do not sell any products on it, so there is no point wasting time in downloading their app. For GAME, you're better off using a desktop device __if__ you're connected to the internet via a LAN cable. If not, using your mobile phone on Wifi, 4G or 5G is just fine, no issues there. This applies to all other retailers too.
When the drop takes place, you're highly recommended to go for a PS5 bundle, and not the PS5 non-bundle (standalone). The reason for this is, that GAME usually does not allocate any stock for the standalone PS5 even though the listing appears on the bundles page, which could lead to users losing out on precious time. We (Stock Checker) have to provide the standalone link just in case, but we advise you to click on our PS5 bundles link once we send out an alert, whether that's via our Twitter or Discord.
