Amazon warns PS5 preorder customers that consoles might arrive after launch day – The Verge

It seemed a little too great to be real the other night when Amazon effectively processed a bunch of PlayStation 5 preorders after other merchants faltered marvelously. And, well, perhaps it was.

This is probably a scenario where not even Amazon yet understands exactly how numerous PlayStation 5 units it will be getting, so the merchant is attempting to play it safe and alert people that theres no guarantee of launch-day delivery. Those consumers will now be left with an option to make: you can keep the existing preorder in location in hopes that Amazon will end up with a strong supply and handle to strike the November 12th target, or you can try your luck somewhere else.

Today, the business has actually sent out an email to many who preordered a PS5– both the regular and Digital Edition consoles– encouraging that shipments might not get here in time for the November 12th release date. “Were contacting you about your order of PlayStation 5 to let you know ahead of time that you might not get this item on the day it is released due to high need,” the e-mail checks out. “Well strive to get the product to you as soon as possible once released.”

A minimum of theyre not canceling orders, I expect. Anyone getting this email seems to be ensured a PS5 eventually. And if any merchant is most likely to end up with additional PS5 stock, youve got to envision itll be Amazon.
