The next PS5 Restock is set for November 11: Report
PS5’s November restock is reportedly on Friday. According to gaming analyst Rishi Alwani, Sony has confirmed pre-orders for their next-generation console in India, which are set to go live on November 11 at 12pm. This time, the company is distributing both PlayStation 5 digital and Blu-ray editions, although both types are limited in quantities. This time, the PS5 restock will only be available as a Horizon Forbidden West-themed bundle, similar to the August restock, although the prices have now increased. The PS5 Digital Edition Forbidden West bundle is priced at Rs. 48,490, while the beefier PS5-equipped Forbidden West bundle will cost you Rs. 58,990. Currently, there is no information about individual units in stock.
This will be the second time that Sony is restocking the Horizon Forbidden West PS5 bundles in India. Earlier, both the digital and disc version bundles were available for Rs. 43,990 and Rs. 53,990, respectively. However, late last week, Sony India increased the prices of the next-generation console by 10 and 12.5 percent respectively, leading to a revision of the high price point of the bundles. The standalone PS5 Digital Edition now costs Rs. 44,990, while the 4K Blu-ray-equipped PS5 is now priced at Rs. 54,990.
It is worth mentioning that although the image posted by Alwani has the Sony Center label on it, ShopatASC’s official website has yet to update its pre-order banner. Alwani told Gadgets 360 that the PS5 November 2022 stock information was passed on to him by brick-and-mortar retailers. If true, given what we’ve seen in the past, Sony’s next-gen console should be available for pre-order across Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, Game Loot, GamesTheShop, Reliance Digital, ShopatASC, and Vijay Sales. These pre-order campaigns work the same way as flash sales, on a first-come, first-served basis, so you’d better be quick.
Getting hold of the PS5 has long been a struggle around the world – thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused a global chip shortage and supply struggles. The November 11 PlayStation 5 re-release will be the second time the next-generation console has been made available in India as the Horizon Forbidden West bundle. Before that, Indian gamers were treated to a lot of Gran Turismo 7.
If you can pre-order the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition, it should arrive in about 14 days, given what we’ve seen in the past. The Sony Center website, where the posted image appears to have been taken from, still shows details of October pre-order campaignso we don’t have an exact shipping date yet.
