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

    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

    • merill on 15/01/2021 - 15:39

      I was at JB Pakenham and they said the same thing. They had a list but zero chance of getting it.

    • Mikeee on 15/01/2021 - 15:44

      Things are in a flux with them at the moment.
      JB Narre Warren in-store took my money (full amount) for a pre-order. Late Jan delivery.

      I don't think it's worth a neg if we've proven this is working for many. Odds are all stores have allocation - just staff haven't been made aware.

    • His_Holiness on 15/01/2021 - 15:55

      Why the neg?

  • KeziaP1994 on 15/01/2021 - 15:33

    Secured one in Hoppers Crossing VIC :)

    • binuyaka on 15/01/2021 - 16:27

      Just as I was about to line up to pre-order there they literally were just posting signs that the PS5s are sold out. fml

  • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 15:33

    If you're in Liverpool, rush to it. They are doing allocations. I think maybe 15 left.

    Just got one.

    I called Macarthur and narellan before and they know nothing about it.

    Edit: I'm positive Liverpool is sold out of allocations now. But try other stores in the area, if they say they dont know anything about it. Tell them to transfer you to the game department.

    • hipmaster13 on 15/01/2021 - 18:21

      I called both macarthur and narellan ~3pm , Narellan was out and ctown didnt know allocation numbers and were taking names and phone numbers though had a huge list.

      Ended up getting one in Jamieson (penrith) pre-order instore deposit $50.was 2nd last to get one ~4:40pm.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 18:35

        Yep ctown told me they had a list of 150.
        And hell yea congrats! Scary to be the 2nd last, but also fortunate.
        When I went to order mine I could hear the people next to me saying "yea im here to pre order a ps5"

        And apparently jb hifis phones have been blowing up all afternoon/eve…ozbargained hehe

        • hipmaster13 on 15/01/2021 - 18:56

      • pizza36 on 15/01/2021 - 15:35

        I just asked if they are accepting ps5 preorders and they took my name down and a deposit of $50. Completely forgot about whether it’s disc/digital

    • KeziaP1994 on 15/01/2021 - 15:35

      I got asked if I wanted digital or disc

    • b-t on 15/01/2021 - 15:37

        must be sold out, when I went there 1.5 hours ago, I was the only one asking, and there was no sign about PS5 preordering.

    • couger on 15/01/2021 - 17:16

      I ordered one there after seeing your comment, called before I went there, I paid $50 deposit so I can pay the balance using my giftcards.

  • boundedseven on 15/01/2021 - 15:44

    I called a store in Melbourne and the info is correct! The rep confirmed that I have to come in the store and place a $50 deposit

      • sh4hp on 15/01/2021 - 16:53

        Yeah, me too. Called them earlier after seeing this post, and apparently many others had the same idea.

        I think due to EB already having pre-existing pre-orders to fulfill, they are making sure there is enough before breaking the news.

  • dinob7 on 15/01/2021 - 15:56

    Take this with a grain of salt, but I heard that some stores prioritise people who pay for the pre-order in full (vs just the $50 deposit) in terms of allocating the stock they receive, in case they get less stock. Less of a headache for them. Which means it's not first come best dressed, but more of allocating stock first to fully-paid orders

    • dinob7 on 15/01/2021 - 16:03
      -4

      Not confirmed, just a rumour, so don't neg the messenger

    • Vita85 on 15/01/2021 - 16:16
      +1

      Nonsense. The sales rep said to me, "Pay as much as you like now, $50 minimum".

      • dinob7 on 15/01/2021 - 16:27
        -3

        That doesn't really negate what I said (which I said upfront is just a rumour). Plus based on comments in this post, some stores are requiring full payments only. So it's not really a stretch to think that a branch that has a mix of fully-paid orders and deposits, if they get less stock on the day, would like to prioritise fully-paid orders. Sucks I know

        • Vita85 on 15/01/2021 - 17:24
          -1

          It sure does. There were only 20 available at my store and they only took 20 pre-orders. I'm not sure how a different store taking full payment has anything to do with a physical queue process at each store. Whether you pay full or $50 makes zero difference. You don't get to magically skip over someone else just because you paid in full. Whoever started this rumour is "full of shit" as my old boss would say.

    I called my local JB first which confirmed they were taking preorders, went in and ordered one for the 21st of Jan. No issues. Had to pay in full. Some of the staff had no idea it was happening whilst other staff knew it was happening. Just poor communication between JB and their staff, or upper management not notifying staff.

    • StarGrapper on 15/01/2021 - 16:20

      I am in Darwin, I called first store and told me they have 150 queue and put my name without deposit or going to store, felt something is odd. so I called the other store and told me they've ordered only 20, and 12 left, I was there 15min's after with only 8 left and a line of 6 behind me. so don't put your hopes so high.

      he did not write my name anywhere, he've put it on the system and printed a receipt of payment and confirmation of pre order.

      based on that, I believe every store that book you on phone or just write your name on a paper, they are out of stock and you went to store late. unless you made a payment and got a printed receipt.

      however, I really wish you best of luck

      • Stoibs on 15/01/2021 - 16:22

        Yeah I'm not feeling optimistic =(
        Will ring them back just before closing time this evening and see if they have any stock left, hopefully be at their door 9:am opening time tomorrow if so.

        Hopefully (like what a few people are speculating) this means overall stock drops though, and more chances at Amazon or other stores..
