Sony held its long awaited PS5 Showcase event early this morning revealing the PS5’s highly anticipated price point and release date along with details of how you can pre-order the console’s expected limited supply.<\/p>\n
A$749.95<\/strong>. That’s the number everyone wants to know Exactly the same Microsoft’s Xbox Series X<\/a> with Amazon already running a pre-order deal<\/a> at A$749 with $30 cashback for Prime members!<\/p>\n Sony’s “digital only” version of the PS5 is significantly cheaper at just A$599.95<\/strong>, but does mean that all games played will need to be purchased online through Sony’s PlayStation store, which generally charges full RRP all the time.<\/p>\n The digital only PS5 includes the same guts and components as the main PS5 unlike Microsoft’s Xbox Series S, which at $100 cheaper doesn’t bring the full 4K power and memory of its bigger brother.<\/p>\n The PS5 will also be released in Australia in the first wave on November 12th<\/strong>. Other countries included in the first release date include the USA, Japan, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand & South Korea. The rest of the world will have to wait another full week when units are expected to ship on Nov 19th.<\/p>\n Pre-orders for both editions of the PS5 are available now through JB HiFi, EB Games and Amazon<\/a><\/strong>. Order quickly though if you want in come November, rumours of production shortages and delays<\/a> are running rife!<\/p>\n See you in November! #PS5<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6dXyjctYFF<\/a><\/p>\n — PlayStationAU (@PlayStationAU) September 16, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
