Sony PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition pre-orders in India are now live, so hurry up

While the regular disc-version PlayStation 5 is seeing a restock, the PlayStation 5 Digital Station is up for sale for the first time in India.

Sony PlayStation 5 will go on sale again in India. But this time, there is a good reason people who had been holding off may have finally bought the console. Sony has made both the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition available for pre-orders today, May 17 across all online stores and partner stores. While the regular disc-version PlayStation 5 is seeing a restock, the PlayStation 5 Digital Station is up for sale for the first time in India, more than six months after the international release. The PS5 pre-orders began at noon today, however, some websites are still showing “coming soon”. If you are going to try your luck right now at any of the partner websites, let me tell you that there are no pre-order units available. While Amazon and Flipkart have not yet listed the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition for pre-orders, the stocks for PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition on Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Prepaid Gamer Card are already sold out. Meanwhile, Sony’s own online store, ShopAtSC, shows the PS5 is coming soon. The pre-ordering time was 12 pm, which is why some websites have their PS5 inventory already pre-booked. But those who have not started taking pre-orders yet may do it later in the day. And those who could not pre-book will have a chance to grab one then. Those who managed to pre-order the Sony PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition are still wondering about one thing; the delivery. Given the current situation of lockdown and widespread Covid-19 disease, online deliveries of anything other than essential items is limited. Both Amazon and Flipkart have restricted delivery of non-essential items in major cities, such as New Delhi and Mumbai, in order to comply with local laws. However, online retailers such as Reliance Digital are still delivering non-essentials to most locations. So, if you have pre-ordered the PS5 or the PS5 Digital Edition, the first thing you need to look for is the shipping date. Sony is likely to begin shipping only after the situation improves. And after that is out, you will have to wait for an official announcement from your state government regarding deliveries of non-essentials.
