PS5 India Restocking on March 24: How to Pre-Order PlayStation 5 on Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, and More

The PS5 March Restock is here. Today at noon, the Rs. 49,990 PlayStation 5 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray-equipped variant of Sony’s elusive next-gen console will be up for pre-order in India. This is only the 14th time the PS5 has been available in India, since its launch in February last year. If you’re trying to buy the PS5 online, you can do so through Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. You can also check retail stores near you. Although, as has been the case for a year now – the PS5 celebrated its first anniversary in India in February – the big concern is whether you can actually manage to buy one, given Sony India’s ongoing inventory difficulties.

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 April 8, 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 we have occasionally seen some online retailers ship their PS5 pre-orders before the advertised delivery date.
