Many have been wondering where to buy PS5 at launch, with pre-orders running out of stock almost as quickly as they were released, and Sony has warned there will be shortages even after launch.
Sony's latest update, however, has confirmed that you won't be able to buy PS5 deals in-store when the console launches on November 12 / 19 – instead day one sales will only be made online.
In a recent PlayStation Blog entry, Sony warned against "camping out or lining up at your local retailer on launch day in hopes of finding a PS5 console for purchase", instead advising customers to "be safe, stay home, and place your order online."
Customers who have picked up a PS5 pre-order to collect in-store may still be able to do so, though it's wise to confirm with your retailer of choice. In the UK, for example, Game will open its doors for click and collect customers in this circumstance on November 19.
So, if you're looking to buy a PS5 on release day, where exactly should you go? Things are going to get competitive out there, so we'd recommend refreshing your favorite retailers as soon as the clock strikes midnight on release day. We're rounding up all the retailers you should check out first just below.
