https://press-start.com.au/news/playstation/2021/01/15/jb-hi…

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

            • @wicks93: I hope Monday at top, so we at least have a day off to enjoy with.

              I went to order in casuarina but my turn was nearly 140. How did you manage to secure one there? Must be so early. After that I left and though why not to call berrimah with 0% chance of success, and they said come now and secure one straight away.

              • @StarGrapper: I got my name put down on a list about a month ago man they only had 20 for pre order I got the last one. Hopefully we get it Monday then so we can enjoy on Tuesday fingers crossed

                  • @StarGrapper: Yeah he seemed pretty confident it would come Monday fingers crossed. He said texts will come around lunchtime if stock comes in

  • Got the msg from Merrylands this morning and picked up

  • It's 2:42 pm now, seems unlikely to pick today :(

  • Picked mine up and paid with gift cards.
    They wanted a photocopy of my drivers licence because I used gift cards over $500. Is this normal?

    • No, they didn’t say anything when I paid all by gift card. How were you dressed? Lol

      • I was well presented.
        I think they were just not happy because I didn't opt in for their extended warranty. Their attitude just changed when I said no.

        I have them my licence at the time but thinking back I'm just concerned they have a copy of my licence lying around.

  • that’s who i’m waiting for too :(. they haven’t received stock yet

    • Same here, a mate of mine just got a text from Joondalup saying ready for pick up

      • I think the stock deliveries are random since Joondalup is quite far from Midland to have a stock.
