PS5 Restock
Restocks for the PlayStation 5 have arrived earlier than anticipated. Pre-orders begin on May 27 at 12 p.m. (noon). Note that Sony Center only lists the PlayStation 5 disc model, with no indication of the PlayStation 5 digital edition. According to the Sony Center homepage, pre-orders placed on May 27 will be processed from June 7. Though delays are possible due to local COVID-19 regulations on non-essential product shipments. Given the short time between pre-orders, reports indicate that the two batches may have been part of the same import shipment as those announced on Monday, May 17.
Sony Center also confirms that people who have already purchased a PlayStation 5 through their website will not be able to buy another. This limitation applies even though you previously purchased a PS5 Digital Edition. On Thursday, May 27, the one-unit limit will also apply to all new PS5 pre-orders. For what it’s worth, you can purchase various accessories and games. To purchase the PS5, ShopAtSC, like most other online retailers would need you to make an account.
