There's also a FAQ that should answer every question except for date and price.

Who will be selected to receive an invitation?

Our selection is based on previous interests and PlayStation activities.

When will I know if I've been selected or not?
If you are selected, we will contact you via email before pre-orders start. If you do not receive an email, you were not selected.

If I receive an invitation, am I guaranteed to be able to pre-order a PS5 console?
No. Each invitation is open for a limited time and quantities are limited per PSN ID per transaction:

  • 1 PS5 Console or 1 PS5 Digital Edition
  • 2 DualSense wireless controllers
  • 2 DualSense charging stations
  • 2 Pulse 3D wireless headsets
  • 2 Media remotes
  • 2 HD Cameras
PS5 console pre-order reservations will be first come first serve.

In order to pre-order, do I have to pre-order everything?
No. As long as your product selection falls within unit limits, you may pre-order as many or as few products as you'd like.

How long will I have to make a PS5 console pre-order reservation?
If selected, the expiration date and time will be included in your selection notification email and while supplies last.

Can I reserve more than one PS5 console pre-order?
Due to limited quantities and high demand, we will be limiting PS5 console pre-order reservations to 1 per PSN ID.

Will other PS5 products be available for pre-order?
Yes. Although these will be open to the general public for pre-order, only PS5 console reservations will be limited to those invited to pre-order.

What if I receive a "Sold Out" message?
All available PS5 consoles have been reserved.

I currently reside outside the US. If invited, can I still make a PS5 console pre-order reservation?
If you receive an invite and units are still available, as long as you ship to a US based address, your pre-order reservation will be allowed.
Any orders that contain a non-US based address will be cancelled.

I mean I'll pre-order thru Best Buy so I can pick it up at midnight, but I registered anyway.

Got mine, registered.

I don't think it matters, but I'm going to be buying initially for my son, who has a different gamertag. I would imagine the consoles won't be pre-registered to the gamertag I used (mine, since I'll be the one paying for it).

Interesting promotion for pre-orders...

So they are thinking they are not going to have enough supply to meet anticipated launch demand based on the wording of the email (although it could just be PR speak to create FOMO I think PS5 could be sell out before a second shipment).

US only? I expect to see similar elsewhere soon

This kinda sucks for most people, but the free for all they'd have to do otherwise would suck as well due to scalpers.
This is only likely for countries where Sony / Playstation sell physical items directly.

Got an email on my psn usa account which hasn't been used to play games or purchase anything in years.

Does this mean Sony direct pre-orders?

i really really don't want to miss out, I have the money, this is the first gen I am 110% ready. I t would suck to miss out on a preorder which is the only thing I've cared about for months.

Limiting it by PSN and basing on activity is a smart way to prevent bots from registering a bunch of free PSN IDs.

Is this the first time trophy level will mean something? lmao

Registered but I never get emails from Sony/PlayStation, especially when they send out freebies or those neat stats/progression ones. :/

what are people meaning when they say "got mine"? I got nothing and just went to the site and entered my PSN name twice and entered. No emails or anything
