So when do you guys think we'll be able to pre-order. Is Sony going to try to beat MS to pre-orders?

 

[vkbest]

Amazon Spain just made private the PS5 page this morning, I think probably tomorrow will open the preorders

 

[H-I-M]

Today, right after the showcase.

 

[Birdo]

Probably today. It will be one of those end of show "One more thing" moments.

 

[KungFucius]

Please don't be tomorrow. The last thing 3080 seekers need is more people F5ing retailers.

 

[FunkMiller]

I'm going to be positive and say tonight. This event has been advertised and trailed a HUGE amount over the past few days, which suggests Sony want all eyes on it. There's an expectation of pre-orders, and I can see them fulfiling that expectation.

 

[Relativ9]

Sony has a history of "and it's out right now" announcements at press conferences. So I'm guessing today.

 

[captainraincoat]

Yeah I’m going to bet it’s literally right after they announce price and release

 

[martino]

in my country everybody seems ready to open them today

 

[ancelotti]

The current trend of pre-anouncements is pretty stupid so I hope they open it up right away. I'll be curious if MS responds or if the're wedded to their current plan (such as it is).

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Today hopefully. Ordered my Monoprice 2.1 cables yesterday to have them ready and good to go.

16 september

How could it be today when they already did the “be the first” thing and nothing has come of it yet?

 

[Rob_27]

I would hope that you could after the showcase with some communication beforehand to say so. But they dont need to worry they have their own plans and probably havent changed them (apart from maybe price). So im going with after 22nd Sept. But you know im prob wrong.

I hope you're right man.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

By this weekend. Retailers are the ones who have to hit the gas pedal on taking orders, so unless Sony has yet to communicate allocations, retailers are going to go as soon as they can.

Keeping it orderly will be a mess, so brace for it.

 

[RavenSan]

Exactly, there's no way it's gonna be today.

 

[dorkimoe]

you today people are in for a rude awakening. Don't get me wrong, i hope its today, but i dont think so Tim

 

[Blond]

Who knows but my credit cards ready in the event it does go live today and the all digital is decently priced enough to make it worthwhile to jump in early.

 

[ethomaz]

Sony usually say at the show that you can already pre-order in their site or the retailer partners.
That is why the marketing material is already being put at stores.

 

[Aceofspades]

I wish they put it on the same day as Xbox, Just for the laughs and giggles

 

[Jmatt110]

EB Games Australia sent out an email guide today on how to prepare and pre-order the new consoles as quickly as possible, and we're still a week out from Xbox pre-orders...

 

[sandkiller]

Today - something.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Well if it's today or tomorrow GOOD LUCK future PS5 owners! It's gonna hell to get one.

 

[TheMan]

I expect them to open up today. We are already too close to the likely launch date

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Definitely today, in my opinion. Just another case of Sony executing on another level this summer.

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

I hope pre-orders go up today.
