We can now confirm that JB Hi-Fi will be taking PS5 pre-orders in store starting today with stock set to arrive on or after January 21st.

As of today, stores have received their allocations for the next shipment meaning that they can now take pre-orders for the drop happening next week. You’re best to call your local JB Hi-Fi before heading in just in case they have already pre-sold out.

EDIT: Few replies to the Tweet confirming success at preordering at JB. https://twitter.com/PressStartAU/status/1349913754532679680

YMMV but don't give up

EDIT2: "Just spoke to my local, all stores are taking preorder in-store now, according to one rep. Wouldn’t take my details over the phone though, so need to head in and take care of it. Will report back."

EDIT3: "Local JB (Perth) confirmed they're taking preorders with full payment"

EDIT4: "Just made the preorder at northland. Was told stock sometime next week"

Mod: Check comments below, before calling your local store(s) regarding availability.

Edit 2/2: Some stores/users are reporting preorders are available in store again. Comments

    Just fyi I spoke to some JB staff they get first picks at least where I live. Westfield store.

    • jv1988 on 15/01/2021 - 14:33

      And I'm guessing this would be on top of a staff discount.

      • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 15/01/2021 - 15:16

        oh naah for that. All major retail stores cut discounts for consoles/apple products. Target / Big W / EBgames/zing and JB.

    Called my local JB (NSW) when i asked to be transferred over to games he asked if it was about the PS5. When I said yup he said theyre not taking any preorders and will be first in first serve in store but he didnt know when the store would be receiving it. Sometime Jan apparently

    Got one at Brisbane Queen Street. Full payment and collect on Jan 21st. Awesome!

    Also I heard them saying on the phone that they had an allocation of 50.

    • lufee on 15/01/2021 - 15:30

      Scored one as well just now, also required full payment

    • keejoonc on 15/01/2021 - 16:18

      Was this the MacArthur Central store?
      I also got one from there and only asked for $50 deposit and said ETA is end of January.

    • AdamV on 15/01/2021 - 18:21

      Ordered mine, same location. The staff member said 21 Feb, hoping she was wrong. Guy behind me was ordering too, no mention of limited numbers.

    Got a firm number of '24' units at one of my locals.
    I really really hate that I'm stuck at work right now and can't get there to secure my pre-order. Argh.

  • Puglife on 15/01/2021 - 14:34

    Some JB's have a sheet of people on a waiting list who will be notified first if stock becomes available. I don't think this is across all stores but I know from experience that a number of stores are doing this… so potentially those people will get first dibs. And if you miss out best to get on these lists!
    Especially considering if you find one elsewhere and they call you, you can say its not needed any more. Best to have your fingers in as many pies as you can…

  • cyrax83 on 15/01/2021 - 14:34

  • VissA on 15/01/2021 - 14:36

    • Top G on 15/01/2021 - 15:20

      I feel like the console manufacturers don't mind the shortage as it adds an exclusiveness to the product and activates the FOMO physiological response.

      In the modern age companies are fully aware of and exploit our primal responses. Wasn't remotely interested in either initially but found myself checking them out.

  • tdst-taboo on 15/01/2021 - 14:49

    I went into the WA, Osborne Park store. They took my pre-order with a $50 deposit. They had a "private and confidential" A4 print on the till about how to take the pre-order (ie. the SKU for the digital edition vs the disk edition (but that was all I could catch)). I was one of their first orders with two other people next to me so they figured out on the fly how to do it with all three of us. The only thing of note is she said "because of COVID we can't guarantee the date".

  • commotion on 15/01/2021 - 14:52

    Ordered at Jb hifi Prahran 10 mins ago. They were tallying the orders on a sticky note. Seemed to be 7 or so when I glanced at it.

  • teeshiu on 15/01/2021 - 14:58

    Called Moore Park store and confirmed that they’re doing preorders in store, put down $50 deposit to secure the preorder. There were also a couple of guys in front of me doing the same thing.

    • IthinkIllthink on 15/01/2021 - 20:09

      Hey teeshiu. I called in at Moore Park and paid $50 as well. Did they tell you how many were allocated to the store? Arrival date? I was told maybe two weeks.

  • jinn11 on 15/01/2021 - 15:07

    Can confirm pre order is available. I called two stores in Chatswood just after 2pm. Westfield said it’ll start in a few days. Called Chatswood chase right after and the guy knew nothing about it but after checking said they did indeed have a shipment planned.

    After hanging up, I drove straight to the store and dropped $50 for the deposit. ETA is 21st but the guy said that is just an estimate and they will call/sms when it’s ready.

    Good luck everybody. By the sounds of things, they’re going quick. There were 2 other guys there already before me.

    For all the people saying its "Fake" and being told by JB Staff its not true.

    I just went into JB and asked to pre-order at the front desk. I was looked at strange and told he didn't think any pre-order were being taken. Another staff member next to him at the time said, actually… we are taking pre-orders as of an hour or so ago. So this is obviously recent.

    So to the people calling up, its more likely that the staff member you spoke with were unaware that pre-orders have only just opened up. Worth trying again or going in store.

  • ack84 on 15/01/2021 - 15:25

    The store is completely empty so I'm guessing people in this area haven't got the memo yet :)

  • redgymhero on 15/01/2021 - 15:29

    Called up and was told to come in store. Drove over to Altona Home JB - managed to grab one of 40 pre-orders! The manager said that their store had one of the biggest allocations. Paid in full, awaiting pick up of PS5 "as early as" 21 January.

    Edit: Called up store at 2:15ish. Arrived in store at 2:40ish. Order placed at 2:45pm.

  • Ameowzon on 15/01/2021 - 15:31

    They all seem to have different policies:
    JB Fountain Gate - They don’t accept at all
    JB Narre Warren - They don’t accept at all
    JB Cranbourne Superstore - Put name on list only, can’t guarantee anything
    JB Cranbourne Park - Get in store, place $150, likely late Jan pick up
