Hi all – the launch of the PlayStation 5 console on November 12 (or November 19, depending on your region) is almost upon us! In the interest of keeping our gamers, retailers, and staff safe amidst COVID-19, today we are confirming that all day-of launch sales will be conducted through the online stores of our retail partners.
No units will be available in-store for purchase on launch day (November 12 or November 19, depending on your region) – please don’t plan on camping out or lining up at your local retailer on launch day in hopes of finding a PS5 console for purchase. Be safe, stay home, and place your order online.
Gamers who have pre-ordered for pick-up at their local retailer should still be able to do so at their designated appointment time, under the retailer’s safety protocols. Please confirm the details with your local retailer.
A special thank you to our entire community for your continued support this year. Here’s to the next generation of gaming!
I hope no one never thought they would just walk into the store and pick one up off the shelf, when the console was going as fast as it was.There best bet is just wait until mach or so when the next shipment hits and let the fools have their Rona consoles early .Anyone that didn't get a preorder for a console and plan to go in and buy one your going to be very disappointed.
Tomorrow's the big day! I'll be up till early in the morning trying to secure one.
I'm so excited!
Well it looks like something might have happened to it during transit. The last place it was scanned is the next city over which is 2.5 hours away and there's not a departing scan on the tracking and I received an email from Sony saying my order may ship later than expected. So one of three things could have happened to it. Either it was stolen during transit or damaged somehow or the carrier person came down with COVID19 and the whole load had to be scrapped. Either way it looks like Sony is going to ship out a new one smh. MAN! It was almost here and I was going to be playing my new console today, talk about a daybreaker.Hopefully you have your console by now. And if so, enjoy buddy!
Boys and Girls we've entered a whole new era of gaming! The new PS5 is downright baaaaadaaaaass! Got it setup now just downloading and installing the PSN freebie games and then to install Spider-Man MM, Assassin's Creed Valhalla & Demon's Souls. My gamer tag is z-Savage-Clown-z is case anyone wants to add me.
I don't understand why Sony can't do a worldwide release on the same day. Kinda unfair to you guys in the UK.Added!
Making me jealous here Still got to wait 5 more days..
As soon as you turn it on there's a system update. Mine hasn't crashed yet so I don't know if it fixed it or not.Mine is ready for dispatch now so should be here Wednesday/Thursday hope there's a stability update seems like a lot of people are crashing on games.
