https://press-start.com.au/news/playstation/2021/01/15/jb-hi…

We can now confirm that JB Hi-Fi will be taking PS5 pre-orders in store starting today with stock set to arrive on or after January 21st.

As of today, stores have received their allocations for the next shipment meaning that they can now take pre-orders for the drop happening next week. You’re best to call your local JB Hi-Fi before heading in just in case they have already pre-sold out.

EDIT: Few replies to the Tweet confirming success at preordering at JB. https://twitter.com/PressStartAU/status/1349913754532679680

YMMV but don't give up

EDIT2: "Just spoke to my local, all stores are taking preorder in-store now, according to one rep. Wouldn’t take my details over the phone though, so need to head in and take care of it. Will report back."

EDIT3: "Local JB (Perth) confirmed they're taking preorders with full payment"

EDIT4: "Just made the preorder at northland. Was told stock sometime next week"

Mod: Check comments below, before calling your local store(s) regarding availability.


Edit 2/2: Some stores/users are reporting preorders are available in store again. Comments

    JB Moore Park Sydney just texted. I'm off…

    So excited.

    • Haha nice, im getting so triggered by seeing all these sydney stores but eastgardens hasnt messaged yet..

  • Anyone got the SMS from Doncaster, I called earlier and they said they hadn't received the stock and admitted comms from head ofice was pretty unreliable, suggested a week!!!!

    I'm tempted to call and try again (but don't want to be that guy), I thought Doncaster would be one of the larger stores in VIC and would probably get their allocation pronto.

  • Anyone have any idea for JB hi-fi Watergardens. Other Vic stores have received stock but no update from Watergardens :(

    • still waiting for mine at werribee

      • Still waiting at Broadmeadows too. All western suburbs, perhaps our stores are last on the list to get their allocations delivered?

      • Mind letting me know if you get your SMS? Also ordered from Werribee and still waiting

        • +1

          Yep, will do

        • @thongp29 picked up from Werribee Plaza

          • @rayny10: Did you get an SMS or just call up?

            • @thongp29: called them up, the lady didn't know that the text hasn't been sent. Have fun!

    For those needing extra PS5 for family or friends. When you pick up your order, ask the rep if any ps5 in stock for sale, you might get some surprise.

  • +1

    Finally picked up mine from south wharf.
    Also my store was taking the 1 order per customer thing pretty seriously. Overheard staff putting someone on some sort of 'do not sell' list for future orders for using his cousins to get multiple units somehow.

    • I hope my ducks Huey , Dewey and Louie are going to be ok though .
      Anyway this day kind of lost a lot of its lustre with the happenings of today .

  • Called Gepps Cross SA - Apparently they just got a truck of stuff in and the person reckons the consoles are likely part of it. Should hear something tonight or tomorrow.

  • +1

    I picked mine up from Leichhardt inner west sydney about half an hour ago.

  • Just picked mine up from Eastland, Melbourne. They also surprisingly had the Dualsense charging stations in store so managed to pick one of those up too.

  • Any news from Macquarie Centre?

    • still waiting for SMS

  • Got a call from Fyshwick ACT. Picked up. Thanks OP.

    Spoke with Westfield Carousel store in Perth, guy was pretty rude and just said no stores in Perth have stock yet and they don’t know when they will be arriving.

    • +3

      I was told tomorrow or next week from the Perth store because of covid related delivery days. Which makes sense everything takes longer to get to WA.

  • Collected Sunshine Plaza. No text though.

    • did u call 1st?

      • Yes. Confirmed they had received the stock before picking up.

  • Any update from Northland VIC?

    • Just rang them. Was hoping I could pick my order up after work.

      Basically, we just have to wait till we get the SMS.

      They definitely have stock based on what I was told when I rang this morning!

  • I never got an SMS from Homebush but I called and they said I could come and pick up. Just picked it up.

  • +1

    Got the text this morning and collected from Fountain Gate.

  • Got my text at 3pm. Central Queensland

  • In other news guys, if anyone needs extra controller for $64 or $84 I managed TGG to price matched Amazon price for $104 for the dual sense.

    $104 - 20 (Latitude Pay Promo spend $60 get $20 off) = 84 ($20 Concierge voucher) = $64 in total.

    Latitude promo runs from today until tomorrow.

    • Is there a way to check if I'm eligible for the Latitude Pay promo? And is it easy enough to pay using that in store, I haven't tried it before - do you just give them your mobile number or something and they can find your account?

      • +1

        I just subscribed this morning then when I was there in-store. I asked for a price match on Amazon for $104 but there is another seller on Amazon for $89 but I don't know if they will allow it because its quite low.

        You get the $20credit on Latitude, I paid it off right away. Lucky that I have the $20 concierge as well the you can combine

  • I’m sad that I didn’t get a ps5 today :(

    • Don't worry Mate we are going to get it next week.

    • What state you in?

      • WA Mate, they said early next week. Its only the East side gets the 21st January pick up what the lady said on the phone

        • Yeah i got the same. They said maybe tomorrow. Anyway no rush really.

          • +1

            @mrboysys: Ah ok Mate, maybe you need another controller I managed to score an extra controller for $64 with Latitude pay and concierge voucher.

        • I have someone saying they got theres in joindalup today but they aint exactly a reliable source. Waiting for proof.

          • @mrboysys: Yeah same here waiting for any SMS or calls. Have you tried calling Joondalup? Those people managed to but it on Amazon are getting theirs. They paid yesterday then delivery today.

            • @AirJordan23: Nah I'm gonna wait till tue before making any calls.

            • +1

              @AirJordan23: Rockingham said stock probably will come next week. On the way from Melbourne yesterday

              • @gembel: That's what the lady said on the ohine yesterday, it will be next week only the eastern states will get theirs starting 21st January.

    Wow fb market place just became flooded with ps5 at 1k+

    • Hahaha.
      Seriously though, its time someone set up a "scalppatrol" along the lines of thotpatrol.

    • +1

      Prices are dropping fasts, alot of scalppers might end up stuck with their goods if more stock keeps coming online.

      • I hope so

      • Nah they won’t be stuck with it, at least able to sell them at retail or a little bit more, but definitely not 1k

        • it is getting to the point where there is very little margins to be made. Just checked the lowest Ebay offer is also 1k and ebay gets around 15% marges so they only currently have about $100 to profit from. If Sony drops another few more thousand consoles they aren't going to risk buying more stock when they might still have a number of unsold consoles at home and that is when the consoles are ready avaliable to buy at retails stores.

  • Got mine today, never got a text from JB, had to call.

    • Which store?

      • +1

        Carindale, QLD

  • Got the text and picked up from rouse hill NSW!
