PS5 India restock on February 22: How to pre-order PlayStation 5 and PS5 Digital Edition

The PS5 February restock has arrived. Today at noon, both variants of Sony’s elusive next-gen console – the Rs. 49,990 Blu-ray-equipped PS5 and its Rs. 39,990 discless PS5 Digital Edition counterparts – will be up for pre-order in India. If you’re trying to buy PlayStation 5 online, you can do so at Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. You can also check game stores near you. Although, as has been the case for a year now – the PS5 celebrated its one year anniversary in India earlier in February – the big concern is whether you can actually manage to buy one, given Sony India’s ongoing inventory difficulties.

The February 22 PlayStation 5 restock is only the 13th time Sony’s flagship console has been made available for pre-order in India, since its launch last February. Its Blu-ray-less sibling PS5 Digital Edition even fared poorly, only the eighth time interested buyers have had the chance to pre-order one. Of course, this is far from the only problem with buying a PlayStation 5 in India. Each time, companies like Croma and Games The Shop have proven unable to handle the load. Even Amazon has had issues a few times. Additionally, Croma, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital have also been known to cancel PS5 pre-orders due to their own technical challenges.

And while there have been no restrictions on deliveries for some time now, the Sony Center ShopAtSC website continues with its COVID-19 boilerplate: “We intend to deliver your allocated inventory to March 10, 2022 and beyond – but please expect a delay in our delivery services. which may be impacted due to lockdown/curfew regulations at your locations. Expect the rest of the official PS5 online retailers – Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital and Vijay Sales – to be in line with Sony Center’s estimates. Although sometimes we have seen some online retailers ship their PS5 pre-orders before the advertised delivery date.
