The PS5 launches today, November 12, and for gamers who didn’t manage to preorder the console—it’s not too late. Preorders launched on September 17 and quickly sold out but, on launch day, the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles will be sold online only by numerous retailers including Best Buy, Target and Walmart.
The PS5 will sell for $499.99 and the PS5 Digital Edition for $399.99, with some retailers offering finance plans for those who prefer to pay in installments.
