While digging through the source code of the Playstation Direct site, redditers found an error message indicating that it would probably only be possible to pre-order a single model of PS5 through the official site. This notification, since picked up by IGN, clearly goes in the direction of reduced stocks, in order to avoid abuse on the resale side, by the usual clever people who buy it and then offer them again at gold prices during the holiday season.
An instruction that had already been applied at the time of the PS4 release, but which has a very different resonance here, since the manufacturer will indeed be offering two distinct models of its new machine this winter: a classic, and a digital one. edition without a physical drive. Customers of the official site will therefore not be able to afford both at the same time through this means, it will necessarily be necessary to make a choice.
New details, certainly useful for a handful of players, but which for the moment don't hint at any release date or pre-order period, as is customary with this next generation, it's a question of patience.
