2020-10-15T09:54:53.750Z


The Playstation 5 can no longer be pre-ordered at Amazon, Saturn and Co. After cancellations at Saturn and Media Markt, GameStop at least promises its customers on-time delivery.


The Playstation 5 can no longer be pre-ordered at Amazon, Saturn and Co.

After cancellations at Saturn and Media Markt, GameStop at least promises its customers on-time delivery.

  • Playstation fans have

    waited

    a long time for the

    PS5

    to go on

    sale

    .

  • Several retailers in Germany had listed the next-gen Playstation - pre-orders are no longer possible.

  • A wave of cancellations of pre-orders annoys Playstation fans - but there is hope.

The Playstation 5 * will be launched in November.

Sony finally announced the release date and the sales price during the PS5 showcase on September 16.

Surprisingly, the go-ahead for advance sales was given immediately afterwards.

But the pre-orders still cause a lot of frustration among Playstation fans.

GameStop promises: PS5 will arrive on time and will not be canceled

Update from October 13th:

After MediaMarktSaturn Germany annoyed customers with a wave of cancellations,

pre-orders at GameStop can

breathe a sigh of relief.

The dealer announces in a press release that the pre-orders of the PS5 will not be affected by cancellations and delays in delivery: "

All customers get their console at the promised time

".

However, there is also a limitation with GameStop: If someone has pre-ordered more than one console, they will still only get one device.

Media Markt and Saturn cancel PlayStation 5 pre-orders 

Update from October 9th:

Saturn and Media Markt apparently

canceled hundreds of PS5 pre-orders

on October 7th

.

As GamesWirtschaft reports, multiple orders are particularly affected, that is, those who have pre-ordered several consoles (for friends or family, for example) will only get one delivered - if they're lucky.

But several individual orders were also canceled.

In response to requests from GamesWirtschaft, a spokeswoman for MediaMarktSaturn Germany explained that the manufacturer Sony has specified the number of consoles that can be pre-ordered per customer and order.

Therefore,

multiple orders were

canceled.

Affected customers should of course be reimbursed for amounts already paid in the course of the cancellation.

Pre-orderers

who have not yet received a cancellation message can probably continue to hope.

The cancellation emails from Media Markt and Saturn have so far only been sent in the afternoon of October 7th, as those affected report.

Quick information about available PS5 stocks - with a simple trick

Update from October 6th

: The run on the PS5 pre-sale means that it is already sold out in many places before the official launch in mid-November.

Whether at Media Markt, Amazon or Saturn: Most (online) shops can no longer accept pre-orders.

Smaller PS5 stocks are unlocked again and again

, but only gamers can enjoy successful pre-orders who really keep an eye on the shops.

If you don't feel like it or don't have the time, you can use a trick.

The “Distill Web Monitor” browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Opera monitors selected websites or individual areas of websites and notifies the user of changes on the respective platform - including newly available PS5 stocks, as the Business Insider reports.

According to Insider, PS5 should be available for pre-order again

Update from October 2nd

: Contrary to many media reports that no more consoles are available for pre-sale, there is now new hope.

According to Playstation insider Roberto Serrano, there will be another wave of advance sales on the

5th

.

October

.

However, one should take

this information with caution

.

Serrano does not mention in which countries and regions exactly the pre-orders should start again.

Whether this will also be the case in Germany - if at all - is unclear.

Serrano is considered to be a fairly reliable informant, but in the past he was not always correct with his statements.

However, this is probably also due to the fact that such dates are never set in stone until they are officially announced.

Before the start of the last wave of advance sales, Saturn, Otto and Co. communicated this to the public in good time.

It can therefore be assumed that the dealers and Sony will announce it again

in good time

next time

.

It definitely can't hurt to visit the online shops on October 5th.

As long as there is no official announcement, the probability that the PS5 will be available again is very low.

⚠️ # PS5 pre-order could be available only by September 30, 2020 in selected retailers



The new pre-orders window should be start from October 5th due the delivery management by Sony PlayStation



Waiting for more info

Pre-order PS5: On-time delivery in Germany

Update from October 1, 2020

: Good news for Playstation fans in the DACH region: After reports of late deliveries of the PS5 made the rounds in the last few days (see updates from September 29 and 30), Gamestop Germany is now giving the all-clear (via GamePro).

Both the pre-ordered PS5 consoles and the Xbox Series X are to be delivered according to the current state of knowledge of the retailer in Germany, Austria and Switzerland “

at the promised time

”.

Pre-orderers should therefore regularly check the order status on the dealer pages and their e-mails.

That there is a

more advance booking

-

wave

will be, is not very likely.

In isolated cases, however, consoles could still become available if customers cancel their orders, for example.

Meanwhile, vendors and fake shops lure with dubious deals, with which interested parties should exercise caution.

Before you strike there, be on the safe side waiting for the console to become available again at major retailers.

*ADVERTISING*

This takes you to Amazon's PS5 product page.

As soon as the console is available again, you can pre-order it at this link

You should keep an eye on the online shops of the following retailers for PS5 pre-orders

:

  • Saturn

  • Media Markt

  • Amazon

  • Otto

  • Euronics

  • Müller

  • Expert

  • Medimax

  • Alternate

  • Game stop

Pre-order PS5: delivery in 2021?

Update from September 30, 2020

: The bad news about the PS5 pre-orders is increasing: The first retailers have informed customers that their consoles will

not be shipped until 2021

- more than a month after the release.

Pre-orders at

Gamestop in Ireland

are affected

, as VGC reports.

The retailer cites "circumstances that are beyond our control" as a reason. It is up to the pre-orderers whether they want to endure the waiting time or whether they prefer to cancel the order.

How is it in Germany?

In this country, Gamestop or other retailers have not yet commented on whether the consoles will be available on time in November.

You shouldn't plan the PS5 as a Christmas present - it will probably not be available in stores for some time after the release either.

PS5: Pre-ordered consoles could only ship after the release

Update from September 29, 2020

: On Reddit, some users who were able to successfully pre-order a PS5 are discussing.

Those who have ordered from Sony Australia have been informed whether their consoles

will be

shipped with the first or second wave

.

The latter would

not

take place

until December

.

Even if this is information from Sony Australia, one can assume that this also applies to other regions.

This is probably due to delivery bottlenecks that were already indicated a few months ago.

So after the November release, it could still be difficult to buy a PS5.

Card

PS5 is no longer available for pre-order until further notice

Several retailers have announced that the

PS5 is

sold out and can no longer be pre-ordered

.

On the product page of the console in the Media Markt online shop it says: “Many thanks to everyone who placed a pre-order for PS5.

All PS5 consoles are now sold, so pre-orders have been completed for the time being.

Please continue to visit us for further updates. ”Amazon also notifies customers that the PS5 will be sold out and will no longer be available for pre-order for the" foreseeable future ".

PS5: Pre-orders were temporarily possible again

Update from September 28, 2020

: As announced, the PS5 was

available for pre-order for a short time

in the online shops last Friday morning

.

Once again the demand was extremely high - once again the servers couldn't withstand the high rush.

The consoles are

sold out everywhere again

.

Amazon, Media Markt, Saturn, Otto and Co. report this - it is unclear whether and when the contingent for advance sales will be replenished.

If the order was

successful, Saturn and Media Markt customers received the message that they would

receive

the

confirmation including the order number by email

.

However, numerous orders are canceled again.

However, customers are not always informed directly about this.

If you do not receive an email about a cancellation, you should check the spam folder or check the order status.

Even those who get the money transferred back to their account can assume that the order has been canceled.

September 25, 2020 Updated on

: Several dealers reported that

on Friday the 25

.

September 2020

, further consoles will be available for pre-orders in

the morning

.

This is probably how Sony communicated this after the advance sales started so surprisingly quickly and accordingly caused angry Playstation fans.

A time has not been set, but interested parties should keep an eye on the online shops on Friday morning.

The dealer Otto has also given an exact time

frame

:

Between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. it

should be possible to pre-order the PS5 online again.

The colleagues from ingame.de * also report this.

We are happy to announce that additional PlayStation®5s will be made available for pre-order tomorrow, Friday, September 25th morning.

Pre-order PS5: Numerous pre-orders have been canceled

As GamesWirtschaft reports,

more than 300 people have

registered who had successfully placed pre-orders, but these were

subsequently canceled

.

This affects orders from the following online shops: Conrad, Euronics, Expert and Otto.

However, customers are

not always informed directly of the cancellation

.

So if you believe that you have successfully pre-ordered the PS5, you should check the delivery status on the retailer website or check your email inbox again.

A refund of the prepayment also means that the order has been canceled.

GamesWirtschaft claims to have found out from Conrad Electronic that the cause of the wave of cancellations were actually

delivery problems due to the high demand

.

More PS5 consoles on Amazon this week?

Update from September 23, 2020

: As GamesWirtschaft reports,

more copies

are to be available

for advance sale

on Amazon

this week

.

Corresponding correspondence with the retail giant has been submitted to the editorial team.

When exactly Amazon will release the supply of PS5 consoles for pre-ordering, however, is unclear - if it comes at all.

PS5: Sony announces more consoles for pre-sale

Update from September 22, 2020

: Frustration is spreading among the Playstation fans.

As expected, the consoles available in advance were sold

out after a short time

.

After a successful order process, pre-orderers receive a confirmation e-mail from the retailer - but many people subsequently discovered that

the order was canceled due to a limited number of items

.

Sony also admits that the start of advance sales did not go smoothly.

For this reason, on the official PlayStation Twitter page published an apology, which also

further PS5

-

consoles for pre-

announcing.

The tweet reads:

"Let's face it, the PS5 pre-orders could have gone a lot smoother.

We sincerely apologize for this.

We'll be opening more PS5 consoles for pre-order in the next few days -

retailers will provide more details

.

And more PS5 consoles will be available by the end of the year. "

Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother.

We truly apologize for that.



Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder - retailers will share more details.



And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year.

pic.twitter.com/h1TaGsGBun

- PlayStation (@PlayStation) September 19, 2020

After all, the tweet says that

more consoles will be available by the end of the year

.

So if you can't get hold of a PS5 in advance, you can hope that it will be sufficiently available in stores or online after the release.

PS5: No further pre-orders possible yet

Update from September 18, 2020

: Interested parties

can now pre-order

the

PS5

in Germany

too

, provided they find a dealer who still has the console in stock.

Shortly after the announcement, the rush was extremely high, so that the servers sometimes did not hold up.

After a short time

all available copies were sold out

.

The PS5 is

currently no longer in stock

at the major retailers Amazon, Saturn, Media Markt, Expert or Otto

.

It is still unclear whether and when there will be more supplies.

The PS5 is already sold out at Expert.de.

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 yet 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 Rumor: New information on pre-sale at the next PS5 event

News from July 31, 2020

: In June, Sony let the cat out of the bag.

At the "The Future of Gaming" presentation, the company officially presented the PS5 and a number of games for the new console.

However, Sony has withheld some important information, namely the price, the exact release date and the

start of pre-orders

.

It could soon become the latter

give new details.

According to several insiders, Sony and Microsoft will finally reveal the last information in August.

The next PS5 event

will take place

shortly

, as industry analyst Roberto Serrano recently

revealed

on Twitter.

He had previously given the correct date for the June presentation.

Journalist Jeff Grubb has also put a Sony “State of Play” event on his Twitter list of upcoming games events for August, which will probably

take place

between August 5th and 11th

.

Serrano's information is more specific and he even gives an exact time: According to this, the event

should take place

on August 6 at 10 p.m.

German time.

An official announcement from Sony is still pending.

It is not guaranteed that there will be news about the pre-orders at this presentation.

However, Sony's head of marketing, Eric Lempel, recently announced that Sony will inform people about the start of advance sales in good time.

The next PS5 presentation would be ideal for this.

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

will.

"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.

+

Several retailers like Amazon already have a Playstation 5 product page.

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.
