Pre-order PS5: Sony is accepting registrations - but only in the US
Update from August 28, 2020
:
Sony is now accepting registrations for PS5 pre-orders on the official US Playstation website.
But interested parties outside of the US are left behind: All registrations received from other countries
will be canceled
.
This means that German users have to be patient - Sony has not yet provided any information on the advance booking process in Europe.
Pre-orders are limited
: Sony's website states that
only a limited number of consoles will be
available for pre-order.
Therefore,
existing customers with a Playstation Network ID should
get the opportunity to pre-order a PS5 first.
Reservations are accepted according to the “first come, first serve” principle - that is, those who register early enough increase their chances of securing a console early on.
In addition to the PS5, accessories such as charging stations, headphones and controllers will also be available for the selected users.
Reservations for consoles will be limited to one per PSN ID.
Are pre-orders also restricted in Germany?
The fact that Sony only allows pre-orders of the PS5 in the USA via registration shows that the company fears bottlenecks and is trying to intercept them.
A few months ago, production of the new console was therefore boosted.
It is not yet possible to say whether there will be
similar restrictions on advance sales
in Europe and
Germany
.
Sony should tell us more soon.
It is unlikely that pre-orders will start surprisingly.
Sony ensures that interested parties will be informed in good time.
PS5 pre-orders still not possible
Message of 21 August
: Before the last "
State of Play
" -
Events on 6th
.
August
there was wild speculation about the start of advance sales.
Sony had heard of the rumors and took the wind out of the sails early on.
That is why the company made it clear in advance in the Playstation Blog that there will be
no details on pre-orders
,
release dates
,
business matters
or
hardware
on this day

An announcement regarding the start of pre-orders did not become a state of play and Sony was able to avert a potential wave of disappointment.
According to rumors, Sony is planning another event in August.
With this there should finally be
details about the presale
and the
price of the consoles
.
But August is slowly coming to an end and there is still no trace of an announcement about this event.
Before the pre-orders can start, Sony has to communicate the details of the pre-sale and the price with the public - and if the PS5 is actually to appear in November, time is slowly running out.
As it stands, pre-orders won't start in August.
But in September it will be high time.
What did Sony show at the “State of Play”?
Instead of new information about pre-orders or the price of the console, there were only further game announcements from third-party studios for the PS5.
Among other things, “
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's about Time
”, “
Hitman 3 VR
” and the new “
Hood: Outlaws & Legends
” were shown.

PS5: The start of pre-orders will be communicated in good time
Update from July 20, 2020
: Geoff Keighley recently provided a closer look at the official PS5 controller during a live stream as part of the "Summer Game Festival".
He switched on the Playstation's marketing director, Eric Lempel, and asked him about the rumors that had arisen about
pre-orders for
the PS5
.
Lempel's answer is likely to be disappointing for many who are already eagerly awaiting the start of advance sales: “No, definitely not now.
We don't know how [these rumors] came about, we had nothing to do with it. "
He also explains that pre-orders will
not
start
without any advance notice
become.
"We'll let you know when the pre-orders will start," says Lempel.
He also noticed that some people were already queuing in shops to pre-order the console there.
Lempel urges people to be patient.
"Please do not think that you have to run and queue before we officially announce how it will go." Before the pre-orders start, Sony will announce this with sufficient lead time.
Pre-order PS5: Rumor lured numerous Playstation fans to the dealer sites
Original message from July 14, 2020
: Playstation fans were eagerly awaiting an announcement from Sony on Monday evening.
Several insiders, including Jeffrey Grubb from Venturebeat and the Italian analyst Roberto Serrano, wrote on Twitter that Sony could, according to rumors, reveal the price and the release date in a few hours.
The emphasis here is on the word “could” - because as it turned out in retrospect, there was
no announcement from Sony
.
The rumor that
pre-sales
could possibly start that evening also spread like wildfire, but also turned out to be wrong - but not entirely: Sony apparently made the final
preparations for the start of pre-orders
on Monday evening
.

PS5 pre-orders could start soon
The dealers have put their own product page for the PS5 online on several international sites.
In this country too, Amazon, Saturn and Media Markt, among others, have listed the console.
Price and release are not mentioned
on the
product page of the PS5
, but the features and accessories are presented.

In addition, six exclusive Sony titles are listed:
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Horizon Forbidden West
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Gran Turismo 7
Returnal
Sackboy A Big Adventure
The fact that the product
page was
put online in several countries at the same time is a clear indication that Sony
would like to
start
pre-selling the PS5 soon
.
It is difficult to predict whether it will be days or weeks.
According to new rumors, Sony would like to wait for the release of the PS4 exclusive title "Ghost of Tsushima" and not
begin
with the PS5 pre-orders
until the
beginning of August
.
But as the latest example shows, such rumors should be treated with caution.
It shouldn't be too long until the start of advance sales.
For comparison: The pre-sale of the Playstation 4 started
five months before the release.
Sony has now boosted production of the PS5, but a big problem is ahead of the console's release.
