Sony PlayStation 5 Pre-order Date, Price, and Other details

The console will be available in Digitial as well as in the Blu-ray version. Buyers will be able to get the Digital Edition for Rs. 39,999. The Blu-ray version costs Rs. 49,990. It will be available on Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, ShopATSC, and Games The Shop.

The Digital Edition doesn’t come with disc support, meaning that users have to rely on the Sony digital store for all the games. The Blu-ray version has a physical CD player, which apart from games, can also be used for playing Blu-ray movies.

The Sony PlayStation 5 comes with AMD’s custom Zen 2 octa-core CPU clocked at 3.5GHz. It has AMD’s RDNA 2 GPU with 36 Cuda cores. The console packs 825GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage and 16GB of GDDR6 RAM. The PS5 supports backward compatibility meaning that you can play PS4 games on the PS5.

Sony PlayStation 5 to go on pre-orders again on March 24 in India

The Sony PlayStation 5 launched back in November 2020, however, it has been difficult to grab one even in 2022. This is largely due to the ongoing global chip shortage resulting in limited production. And what little stock is made available for sale is usually bought up by scalpers who in turn resell the console at huge markups.

However, you do not need to pay these outrageous prices as the PlayStation 5 is getting a restock in India where it will be available to purchase on MRP. The console will be back in stock in the country on March 24th.

PS5 price in India and how to buy

The PS5 price in India is Rs 39,990 for the Digital Edition and Rs 49,990 for the Blu-ray version. As usual, it will be available for purchase through Amazon, Flipkart, ShopatSC, Reliance Digital, PrepaidGamerCard, Vijay Sales, GamesTheShop, and more. PS5 will be up for pre-orders on March 24th at 12 PM IST. The new stock will probably get sold out within minutes, so we advise readers to be ready in advance. Also, there are chances some of the pre-orders may be canceled considering the limited supply issue that Sony is struggling to overcome.

The PlayStation 5 offers gaming at 4k resolution at 60fps and up to 120fps. The Standard Disc Edition offers 4K UHD Blu-ray disc support. For digital users, they need to browse through the games and movies on the digital store itself.

The console has AMD’s Zen 2 custom octa-core CPU clocked at 3.5GHz. It is paired with AMD RDNA 2 GPU with over 36 Cuda cores. It has 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and 825GB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage.

Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition won’t be available on February 2 in India as it is delayed

Sony gave a sweet New Year surprise for all the Indian PlayStation 5 (PS5) fans on January 1. The company announced that the PS5 gaming console will finally launch in the country on February 2. While there are three days yet for the pre-orders, the company has now given a shocking confirmation.

yesterday, a Twitter post said that Sony officially updated about the delay of the Digital Edition of the PlayStation 5 in India. IGN India later verified with its retail sources and says that the news is accurate, i.e, PS5 Digital Edition won’t be available in India at launch. In fact, it has also received an official email from Sony confirming the same.

In the mail, Sony reportedly says that the following will skip the launch window that is on February 2:

PS5 Digital Edition
DualSense Wireless Charging Station
PULSE 3D Wireless Headset
HD Camera

That’s really disappointing news as users will have to wait a bit to get the comfort of charging the Controller wirelessly. Besides, If you recall, the PS5 Digital Edition got a lot of positive response when sony announced the India Pricing. That’s because it sits very close to the inferior XBOX Series S with a ₹39,990($547) pricing.

Anyway, you will have to opt for the 4K Blue-ray Disc Drive edition if you want to get your hands on the PS5 quickly. This one is a bit higher at ₹49,990($684) but is on-par with the XBOX Series X(₹49,990) pricing. That’s not all as IGN also says that Amazon won’t provide any bundle offers(as of now) for the PS5, unlike the offline retailers.

However, a relief is that both the Prime and Non-Prime members of Amazon can delve in on January 12 at 12PM IST to fight for the early adoption. Either way, it looks like the Disc Drive PS5, along with Dual Sense Wireless Controller(₹5,990), and Media Remote(₹2,590) will be the only available products on February 2.

The craze for PS5 is at the top right from the first official launch(US, Japan) on November 12. In India, it’s even higher as Sony had to delay it for about two months for various reasons. We hope Sony improves the situation real soon as the Digital Edition is also a great bang for the buck.
