PLAYSTATION 5: The Long Awaited Console Has Confirmed That All Copies Will Be Available Online Only

The Playstation 5 has gone down as one of the most anticipated console releases in the past 2 decades while also having one of the worst pre-order launches ever.

However, that hasn't stopped longtime Sony fans from ensuring they can secure a copy on its November 12th release date.

Sadly, with limited quantities being manufactured, it has been shaping up to be a mini Black Friday, and gamers have been trying their best to secure the latest additions in the console wars.

With the demand so high during a pandemic, the companies that will be distributing the consoles have figured out a pretty simple way for buyers to secure a copy of the console.

According to a recent post on Playstation.Blog all participating retailers will be selling their consoles online only for either in-store pickup or to be sent to them.

While this minimizes the crowds, this does open up a lot of risk factors in terms of bots and scalpers who want to buy multiple and sell at a higher price.
