Selvom du hos visse butikker allerede kan lægge et tårnhøjt beløb, og dermed i princippet forudbestille en PlayStation 5-konsol, så er der officielt ikke åbnet op for forudbestillinger, da konsollen ikke har modtaget sin endelige salgspris. Dog begyndte et rygte at svirre henover weekenden, der påstod at der ville blive åbnet op for disse inden længe, men Sony har nu kommenteret på rygtet.
Under et interview med Geoff Keighley ved Summer Games Fest har Sonys Eric Lempel skydt rygtet ned, og siger følgende:
"No, definitely not now. We don't know what happened there [with the rumours]. We had nothing to do with it. I got a message from someone saying people were lining up at stores and we had no idea why. So I think it's safe to say, we'll let you know when pre-orders will happen. It's not going to happen with a minute's notice. We're going to at some point let you know when you can pre-order a PlayStation 5 so please don't feel like you have to go run and line up anywhere until you receive official notice on how that will work."
Så der kommer altså til at gå lidt endnu folkens.
