The PS5 is still tough to track down, which is why Sony has opened registrations on PlayStation Direct so that you might get a chance to buy the console.
PS5 registration is open now on PlayStation Direct for customers in the US, UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and the Netherlands. Simply head over to the sign up page here, with your PlayStation Network ID and email ready to go. Please note that registration does not guarantee you’ll get a PS5, as Sony seems to select consumers at random, but it does increase your chances of getting the console while avoiding scalpers.
PS5 stock has been in short supply for over a year now, to the point where Sony is still making PS4 consoles to make up for the demand. As with most electronics these days, shortages result from supply chain issues. Nintendo is running into similar problems with the Switch.
It’s a shame, given how many excellent games are on the system already. Heavy-hitters such as Horizon: Forbidden West isn’t far off from release either.
If you’re a parent still desperate to snag one for your kids, we came up with a handy list of how to silence their disappointment. It may not be Christmas anymore, but the points still apply!
