The long-awaited PS5 is almost here. Earlier this morning, Sony officially its release and when it’s arriving in Australia. So the next question is: how can you make sure you get the Playstation 5 as soon as it’s released? By getting your PS5 pre-order in ASAP.
Here’s where you can pre-order the PS5
Given the demand, most stores have already suspended pre-orders. JB Hi-Fi has temporarily suspended pre-orders on the PS5 and the Digital Edition but says it’ll re-open them when they have “more visibility on stock availability”. Same with Harvey Norman Australia’s listings for the console and the Digital Edition.
For now you can still grab one from Sony directly or Big W. But considering how fast everywhere else has sold out, you might want to hurry.
At EB Games, you can still pre-order both the Playstation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Digital edition — but only post-release.
UPDATE: PlayStation 5 Launch consoles presold out.
