Sony is offering PlayStation fans another shot at the PS5 through PlayStation Direct, in about 10 minutes. With the new addition, PlayStation fans will have the chance to gobble up both the standard PS5 and all-digital edition of the console, dropping the disc drive from the console, and in turn selling for $ 400 instead of $ 500. With PlayStation Direct, you buy the console directly from Sony itself, and unlike other retailers – Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, etc. – PlayStation Direct is not known to cancel orders, making it a great place to get the elusive console up. . That said, as always, you will not only compete against numerous PlayStation fans, but also bots and scalpers.
Most of the folks who have been eyeing the PlayStation Direct share announcements for the PlayStation 5 may have already seen the latest queue, but for those who haven’t, we have to thank vigilant Twitter users like Wario64 for the reminder . The Twitter user who routinely shares gaming deals and announcements noted that another queue had been opened at PlayStation Direct to give people time to get into the main queue. You can queue yourself up for the PlayStation Direct store by going here.

This new process is a constant change from what we are used to from PlayStation Direct. Rather than just randomly opening the queue and having people wait in line for a while only to find that the consoles are sold out when you are admitted to the online store, this queue waiting room gives people a countdown for when the real queue starts. Once that happens, assuming you were already in the waiting room, you will be dropped anywhere in the main row.
The idea behind the change is presumably to further reduce the prevalence of bots and scalpers that the PlayStation 5 consoles are bragging about once they become available. Rather than rewarding those who plant themselves in the PlayStation Direct store at all times for getting into the queues as soon as they start, this new system places waiters randomly in the main queue so that it doesn’t matter how long before If the queue begins, you have a good chance of getting the PlayStation 5. However, you will still need to log into your PSN account to purchase one of the versions of the console, so make sure you have that information ready to speed up the process.
The PlayStation Direct queue is officially launching soon, so make sure to join now if you need a PlayStation 5 for the holidays.
