Today, starting from September 26, 2024, you can pre-order the PS5 Pro. We will reveal the details and explain what you should know about the PS5 Pro.
When and where can you buy or pre-order the PS5 Pro? If you didn’t get a PS5 Pro today, there are still chances: According to Sony, the extended pre-sale is set to start on October 10, 2024, with the release scheduled for November 7, 2024. From October 10, 2024, you will have another chance with additional retailers like Amazon, MediaMarkt-Saturn, and other Sony partners.
You can find all options and how you can buy a PS5 Pro in the following, further article on MeinMMO:

- PS5 Pro at PlayStation Direct (from September 26, 2024)
Update, 26.09.24, 12:38 PM: Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro is also shown as no longer available directly in the shop. This suggests that all consoles are sold out.
Update, 26.09.24, 12:16 PM: According to PlayStation Direct, you can still order the PS5 Pro. If not, stay tuned, as Sony is likely to release more allocations.
We would also like to point out again that starting from October 10, 2024, pre-orders for the PS5 Pro should also start with other retailers (Amazon, MediaMarkt-Saturn, etc.). The price is identical to that at Sony: 799.99 euros.
Update, 26.09.24, 12:06 PM: The waiting times are currently very short. You do not need to wait longer than 10 minutes to buy a PS5 Pro right now. At least that was the case for us just now. If you definitely want to have a PS5 Pro, it is worth queuing. Currently, several sources still report that there are consoles available. If the PS5 Pro sells out, please be patient:
- PS5 Pro at PlayStation Direct (from September 26, 2024)
Update, 26.09.24, 11:56 AM: Some users report that the queue is glitching. However, this seems to be just a display error. If the waiting time jumps from 5 to 10 minutes and back again, do not worry.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:46 AM: A bit poorly managed: Whether the PS5 Pro is really available, you only see after logging in with your PlayStation account in the shop. Otherwise, it just shows the red button with “Pre-order.”
Update, 26.09.24, 11:35 AM: Generally, if you line up again now, you will have to wait between 15 and 20 minutes. Allegedly, you can still buy the PS5 Pro. However, we can’t guarantee that your order won’t be canceled later because Sony made a booking error.
- PS5 Pro at PlayStation Direct (from September 26, 2024)
Update, 26.09.24, 11:25 AM: Sony seems to be restocking: just now, the PS5 Pro was again available and could also be ordered. If the PS5 Pro is not available to you, switch to the main page of PlayStation Direct and then back to the PS5 Pro topic page and then to your shopping cart.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:20 AM: Meanwhile, the PS5 Pro is also no longer available. In the shop, it is still offered for pre-order, but once you want to pay, it will show as “not in stock”:
Update, 26.09.24, 11:10 AM: For those who are not yet aware: You can only buy the PS5 Pro as a Digital Edition. The PS5 Pro does not include a disc drive. If you want to use discs, you must absolutely buy a drive. Currently, the drive is sold out at PlayStation Direct.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:05 AM: The PS5 Pro is still available and can be purchased for 799 euros directly at PlayStation Direct. The special editions are now sold out, but you can still order the DualSense controller in the anniversary design for 79.99.
Update, 26.09.24, 11:00 AM: The queue is still ongoing. Colleagues report that the “Anniversary Edition” is now sold out, but the regular PS5 Pro is still available.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:45 AM: The waiting time has suddenly improved significantly. From 40 minutes, it has dropped to 20 and now to 15 minutes.
However, this is not necessarily a good sign. Usually this means: Interested customers enter the shop, find no more offers, and close the page again. As a result, more waiting people get ahead in line.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:34 AM: The queue is still open, which at least suggests that there could still be consoles available. Our waiting times are fluctuating between 30 and 60 minutes. If you want to try your luck, here is the link to Sony:

We will keep you updated should there be any news.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:15 AM: The sale for the PS5 Pro and the Anniversary Edition is allegedly still ongoing. At least the queue is still open, and you can still line up.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:03 AM: The sale has started, and you are now being shown waiting times at PlayStation Direct. We can’t say whether the interested customers are all “only” interested in the highly limited “30th Anniversary” edition of the PS5 or if everyone wants to buy the PS5 Pro.
Update, 26.09.24, 10:00 AM: Currently, the waiting queue at PlayStation Direct is still on hold. We are waiting for the start and will inform you as soon as it begins.
Update, 26.09.24, 09:30 AM: Meanwhile, Sony has set up a waiting queue on PlayStation Direct, as there is reportedly a “high customer volume on our website” according to Sony.

Update, 26.09.24, 09:00 AM: There is also bad news: If you are interested in the limited “30th Anniversary” edition of the PS5 Pro, you should hurry: According to Sony, the model is limited to 12,300 units. We wouldn’t be surprised if you could buy the devices from scalpers in a month or two for double or triple the price.
We will continue to keep you informed on MeinMMO.
