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
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
got the text today and picked it up from Jb-Hifi Brunswick after pre ordering in store last week Friday. Don't think I would been able to procure one if it was online, can't beat the bots.
