We're only a few short months away from the Holiday season where we can expect the PlayStation 5 to release and begin a new generation of consoles. At this point, fans are just waiting for three things; a price, release date, and pre-orders to start. Numerous retailers now have pages dedicated to the PS5 that will eventually be where pre-orders take place. If you haven't been informed regarding the details of the PlayStation 5 we've have detailed everything that we know about the system up to now. While nothing has been confirmed, there have been rumors that Sony will announce the price(s) of the PlayStation 5 sometime this month.
To help prepare you for the highly anticipated console here are options as to where you can pre-order once it officially goes live. Pre-orders are likely to go fast so having quick access to different sellers will make your search much easier.
For those looking to buy at either Best Buy or GameStop, you can sign up for an e-mail alert for when pre-orders go on sale. You can also sign up directly through Sony on their website. Sony has said in the past that fans will be well aware when pre-orders go up after a false rumor regarding pre-orders took flame earlier this year. We will update this page once pre-orders go up so be sure to check back into DualShockers on-site as well as our Twitter page.
