Where to pre order PS5?

Amazon appears to be the only retailer who is yet to open the pre-orders for buyers. So, if you are really keen to get the upcoming PS5 gaming console at the earliest, your only choice is to head over to Amazon and try your luck when the platform finally opens its pre-orders. Certain fans also claim to be constantly refreshing the page so they don’t actually miss out.

If you are a Sony PlayStation owner, you can also pre-order the PS5 directly from Sony. However, the company is taking direct pre-orders only for select PlayStation owners. You will first have to register on the company website using your PSN ID at the link here. If you are selected, Sony will contact you via email before the pre-orders go live. In case you do not receive an email invitation from the company, it means that you were not selected.
