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

    JB Hifi Osborne Park (WA) has run out as of about 45 minutes ago. I turned up and was told the last pre order had sold about 5 minutes before I got there.

  • HomeAlone on 15/01/2021 - 16:33

    Message on their website was updated just moments ago from

    Due to high demand and limited stock allocations from Sony the PS5 will only be available once we’ve received stock.

    Due to high demand and limited stock allocations from Sony we are not taking further orders at this time.

  • binuyaka on 15/01/2021 - 16:33

    the PS5 preorder was up on their website for a short while and now it's gone

    • John452432543 on 15/01/2021 - 19:24

    I'm sure there's thousands of units arriving every few weeks now, since they stopped the production of most PS4 units I believe PS5 units will be in full swing.

  • skido on 15/01/2021 - 16:50

    Avg 30-40 units per store with 300+ JB stores in AU means that there are over 10k PS5s coming next week?

    Hard to believe ha. Hope they didn’t mess up like TGG lol

    • Azif on 15/01/2021 - 17:00

      aren't they the same company… so they could have allocated these to goodguys but forwhatever reason havent

    • niknikniknik on 15/01/2021 - 17:06

      Wouldn't mind another free $100 voucher tho😊

    Yeah all sold for most stores so don't bother but I'm sure a lot more stock will be incoming soon.

    I hope the scalpers purchase a lot and lose all previous profits.

    • spuderump on 15/01/2021 - 16:57

      This is why you pre-sell them.

  • aamer hamid on 15/01/2021 - 16:55

  • Intoxicoligist on 15/01/2021 - 17:23

    Got one from JB Hifi Indro. Called them first, said they had a few left, but had to go in and make full payment in person to secure it.

  • spaz84 on 15/01/2021 - 17:25

    i got mine pre-ordered. Thank you. Erina Fair… They only had a total of 2 digital editions arriving on 21st Jan for pre-order, they had a lot more disc versions.

    Super dodgy that JB have stock to sell when they own The Good Guys and rejected people the other week that paid the full amount upfront for their preorder. Seems like they're optimising for foot traffic.

    • gembel on 15/01/2021 - 17:36

      Probably the same stock from TGG last week

      • Azif on 15/01/2021 - 17:40

        Doesn't make much sense giving away 100 if they could have just diverted these stock. They must have no clue. Most people would have waited. And no way they make 100 profit from the foot traffic.

        • Cyb3rGlitch on 15/01/2021 - 17:50

          It expires this month and they know people will forget to use it.

    • therealmandingo on 15/01/2021 - 17:39

      Since JB is the "mother" company I guess they want to lookout for their main brand more?

    • jesseboy89 on 15/01/2021 - 20:06

      Are they the same entity operating off the same inventory?

  • maruf mahmood on 15/01/2021 - 17:37

    I tried 2 stores in QLD. And they confirmed that no online or phone Pre ordering. Oxley store confirmed they were sold out, then called Orion Springfield store and they told they have few left. Rushed there and fortunately pre ordered 1. Fortunately not many people at the store.

    This is RRP and isn't even in stock. This is not a bargain.

    I went into my local store ( Narellan NSW ) today and was told they are only taking expressions of interest not preorders and wouldnt let me place a deposit
    Has anyone had this happen ?

    • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 17:48

      I rang a store in regional QLD and was told the same thing. It appears as if the stock is going to city stores, and regional ones are yet to receive any stock allocation hence only taking EOIs rather than pre-orders.

      • bomsmith2018 on 15/01/2021 - 17:52

        Oh okay
        Makes me think i was the only person who missed out
        Fingers crossed would rather not wait till the next lot again

    • hipmaster13 on 15/01/2021 - 18:38

      what time ? I rang 3:30-4pm and they had allocation and all sold out. I tried about 10 other stores and ended up getting one in Jamiesontown second last to pre-order instore.

      • bomsmith2018 on 15/01/2021 - 18:43

    • bomsmith2018 on 15/01/2021 - 17:53

      So they actually had stock ready for next week ?

    JB HiFi Camberwell sold out of their preorders.
    I called hours ago after seeing this and they had preorders available in store so I went straight there and they sold out just before I walked in.
    Very frustrating

  • Thebakes on 15/01/2021 - 17:55

    Called Greensborough they hadn't got their allocation and was told to call back Monday.

    Called Doncaster, they had 6 left. I got down their and secured one, delivery/sms forecast on 21st Jan.

    Guys at sales confirmed as much.

    Thank you so much to the OP. Managed to get one from Strand Arcade, Sydney CBD around 3pm. I was 14/28 unit available. Many people in the store were not aware they were taking pre-orders, so the customer service representative needed to ask a few others first.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 18:29

        What happens when full stock is available? I assume used market needs to drop below RRP. Otherwise as they realise stock is flowing in, they need to hurry and move product.
