How to Pre-Order PlayStation 5 in October 12 India Restock

PS5’s October restock is here. Today at 12pm noon, both variants of Sony’s elusive next-gen console — the Rs. 49,990 Blu-ray-equipped PS5, and its Rs. 39,990 disc-less counterpart PS5 Digital Edition — will be up for pre-order in India. No bundles, just like in September. If you are trying to buy PlayStation 5 online, you can do that on Amazon, Croma, e2z Store (previously Prepaid Gamer Card), Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. You can also check out game stores near you. Though as has been the case for over a year now, the big concern is whether you can actually manage to buy one, given Sony India’s continued inventory struggles. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X is doing much better now in that regard, though that also says a lot about respective demand.

The October 12 PlayStation 5 restock is just the 20th time Sony’s flagship console is being made available for pre-order in India, since its launch 21 months ago last February. Its Blu-ray-devoid sibling PS5 Digital Edition has fared even poorly, with this being only the 14th time interested buyers have had the opportunity to pre-order one. Of course, that is far from the only hassle with buying a PlayStation 5 in India. Every single time, the likes of Croma and Games The Shop have shown themselves to be unable to handle the load. Even Amazon has had trouble a few times. Additionally, Croma, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital are also known for cancelling PS5 pre-orders due to their own technical challenges.

And while there have been no restrictions on deliveries for a while now, Sony Center website ShopAtSC continues with its COVID-19 boilerplate: “We intend to deliver your allocated stocks around 21st [October 2022] and onwards — however please expect a delay in our delivery services which might get impacted due to regulations imposed by lockdown/ curfew in your locations.” Expect the rest of the official PS5 online retailers — Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales — to be in line with Sony Center’s estimates. Though at times, we have seen some online retailers ship out their PS5 pre-orders prior to the announced delivery date.

How to pre-order PS5 on e2z Store

Bengaluru-based online games store Prepaid Gamer Card has rebranded itself as e2z Store. Hopefully with the new name, it will leave the days of egregious bundling behind.

Prepaid Gamer Card had a habit of doing that. In May last year, it forced costumers to buy half a dozen games and accessories along with their PlayStation 5, with the total going over Rs. 85,000. The PS5 costs Rs. 49,990 on its own.

Like everyone else, e2z Store has the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition — and it too offers free home delivery everywhere in India.

You don’t need an account to buy the PS5 from e2z Store. But the website will create one for you during the checkout process, so you might as well have one. You will naturally need to provide an email address as well if you don’t already have an account.
