3 ways to buy the sold-out PlayStation 5 in Australia
If you missed out on pre-ordering a PlayStation 5, here are a few options worth trying.
The PS5 launch has been a chaotic mess with demand for the new console far exceeding supply. This morning, the PlayStation 5 sold out everywhere within minutes. The , EB Games, Amazon, JB Hi-Fi and Target have all run out of stock. (You can blame this on the huge number of pre-orders back in September.)
If you missed out on buying a PlayStation 5, your chances of nabbing one before Christmas are fast diminishing. However, there are still a few options which we have listed below.
Register at Amazon
Amazon switched on its PS5 product page at 9am this morning, but it sold out within minutes. It is highly unlikely Amazon will be receiving more units until early 2021.

Still, if you're determined to own a PS5 regardless of the cost, this is a surefire option.
