The pre-order process for the PlayStation 5 was not the easiest back in September. Customers and retailers were both caught off guard when entire shipments of the console sold out in just hours. Customers who didn’t pre-order the console waited patiently to find out when they would be available again.
Good news: Pre-orders for the PS5 have increased. Here are the places you can and cannot get one.
This website keeps you up to date with stock updates for PS5 and all Australian retailers.
Here’s our guide to the five best PS5 games.
Everywhere You Can Still Order A PS5
Amazon Australia
Amazon Australia has stock of the PlayStation 5 disc console. It is obvious that this stock will not last long so make sure you get your order in. You should keep an eye out to the PS5 Digital Version as they often restock afterwards.
To be reminded when the digital and disc versions of the PS5 become available, customers can sign up to receive email alerts.
JB HiFi
JB Hi-Fi, an electronics retailer, has started accepting pre-orders for the PS5 intermittently. Although these have not been advertised publicly, people have reported that they were able to visit their local store to place a PS5 pre-order. However, there are very few quantities.
Stores we spoke to said this was on a first-come-first-serve basis and customers can put their name on a list for a pre-order by paying the full deposit in store. Staff couldn’t provide any information about when or how many units would they be receiving. This option is worth considering. Before you go to the store, make sure to check with your local store to confirm that they are still accepting pre-orders.
Pre-orders online are not currently available. However, you can continue to check this page JB’s website regularly for any updates.
B Games
EB Games sold their first shipment quickly, but the consoles in their second and third waves are slowly being secured.
(Update 3/3) Although EB Games claims they are getting more consoles in the near future, all of these consoles are immediately being assigned to customers who ordered online in prior shipments. There are many estimates for stock drops at EB Games. Some stores indicate maylater this March, while others say don’t bother until July.
Other EB stores claim they have limited consoles available in-store (3/3), but this varies from one store to the next. These consoles are reserved for pre-ordered customers, but it is worth calling your local EB to find out their current situation.
For more information about new stock, keep an eye on the website of EB Games.
