The PS5 Pro is still available for pre-order

The PS5 Pro is still available for pre-order


The PS5 Pro can still be pre-ordered and that of course triggers direct debate.
The PS5 Pro can still be pre-ordered and that of course triggers direct debate.

Anyone who wanted to get one when the PS5 was released had to deal with very limited availability, long queues and scalpers – for years. However, this was not a strictly limited version of which there should only be a few units. The regular PS5 was a rare commodity and was hard to get hold of in normal stores for many months.

Fortunately, things now seem to be completely different with the mid-gen console. You can still pre-order the PS5 Pro, it is not sold out yet.

Sony doesn’t seem to be having any delivery problems with the PS5 Pro anymore and that’s a good thing

That’s what it’s about: The PS5 Pro costs a lot of money, but it still delivers more power than you could get anywhere else in this price segment. Pre-orders went live last week and it won’t take any longer for the console to release. You can still secure yourself at the moment.

800 euros for the PS5 Pro – Is that okay?

Is this because of the high price? Of course, discussions are already starting on the internet. For example, some people are firmly convinced that Sony is currently failing with the PS5 Pro and that this would be evident from the console not immediately selling out to enthusiasts. That would have to be far too expensive for Sony to just collect the receipt for.

It’s completely normal: But many people simply assume that it is a very normal thing, because this is a device that is not aimed at all owners of a PS5, but at those enthusiasts who like graphics and Performance is extremely important – and where the euros are already loose.

In addition, in contrast to the “normal” PS5, there are no longer any major bottlenecks due to Corona and Co. Sony has probably simply planned better here or had enough units produced to cover demand in the long term.

Analyst Mat Piscatella also sees no problem with this, that a non-limited edition is not sold out immediately when pre-orders open. A comment on his post at Bluesky sums it up as follows:

PS5 launch: Why can’t we find consoles? Why didn’t they do more? This is ridiculous!”

PS5 Pro launch: Why is the console still in stock? Why did they make so many? This is ridiculous!”

Sony does not expect to announce any supply shortages: According to Insider Gaming’s Sony sources, the company does not expect there to be any delivery issues. This applies to both the PS5 Pro and the separate disk drive. You also don’t have to worry and deal with scalpers and their moonshine prices.

Better than the PS5 launch: In direct comparison to the release of the PS5, everyone who is interested in buying the console can only be satisfied. You save yourself the nervous search and all the hassle to get a popular PS5 Pro. Instead, you can add them to your shopping cart and pre-order them as normal from a retailer. So, as it should be.

What do you think about the PS5 Pro, do you want one? And how do you interpret it that the pre-orders are still available?
