Where to preorder the PS5 Pro

UPDATE: Sep. 30, 2024, 4:00 p.m. EDT This story has been updated with current availability of the PS5 Pro and the PS5 Pro 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle. (Spoiler: The latter is long gone.) The PlayStation 5 Pro is now up for grabs. Hope you started saving for it yesterday. Priced at $699.99, preorders for Sony's upcoming console began at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 26 — and for the time being, U.S. shoppers can only purchase it through the PlayStation Direct storefront. Preorders will open at other participating retailers starting Thursday, Oct. 10, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart. The PS5 Pro will start shipping four weeks later on Thursday, Nov. 7. At the time of writing, the PS5 Pro was still in stock at PlayStation Direct. Preorders are limited to one per customer and require a PlayStation Network account.

We didn't hear back, but it seems shoppers weren't exactly clamoring for a $700 mid-gen update. In stark contrast, our sister site IGN reports that a 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle featuring a special variant of the PS5 Pro sold out at PS Direct "in seconds" Thursday morning. The bundle included a PS5 Pro decked out in the '90s gray aesthetic of the very first PlayStation, plus matching DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, a DualSense charging station, a disc drive cover, a vertical stand, and a handful of collectibles. It was priced at $999.99 and limited to 12,300 units — and scalpers are now reselling it on eBay for thousands of dollars. A PS5 Slim Digital Edition 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle that omits the DualSense Edge controller and charging station for $499.99 has also sold out at PS Direct. However, it will be available at third-party retailers lik
