PS5 November restock is here, the first since the recent price increase. Today at 12 noon, both versions of Sony’s elusive next-gen console, the Rs, were released. 54,990 PS5 with 4K Blu-ray, and its Rs. 44,990 disc-less PS5 Digital Edition — will be available for pre-order in India. Unlike August, they will only be available in a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West, the PlayStation-exclusive action RPG released in February. Oddly, despite Sony India going all out to promote the new PlayStation-exclusive action-adventure game launching on PS4 and PS5 this week, there’s no sign that a God of War Ragnarok bundle will be available in other parts of the world.
Due to the increase in PS5 price in India, the PS5 Horizon Forbidden West bundle has been similarly affected. The price of the HFW bundle of PS5 with 4K Blu-ray capability has soared to Rs. 5,000 Rs. 58,990 while the digital HFW bundle is now available at Rs 58,990. 48,490, an increase of Rs. That’s $4,500 more than the August price. Unfortunately, at this point, it’s not really a savings – if anything, you’re paying more. Horizon Forbidden West bundle discounted to Rs. It was priced at Rs 1,499 during Amazon’s Great Indian Festival sale and 2,839 units were sold during the PlayStation Store sale in August and September. (Please note that the PS4 version can be upgraded to the PS5 version for free.)
However, those who haven’t gotten their hands on a PS5 yet may not care. If you want to buy PlayStation 5 and PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West Bundle online, you can do so on Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center and Vijay Sales. You can also check out game stores near you. Sometimes these tend to be better choices. While this has been the case for more than a year, the biggest concern is whether you can actually buy one, given Sony India’s ongoing PS5 stock woes. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X – the PS5’s biggest rival – is now doing a better job at this, though that speaks to their respective needs.
The November 11 PlayStation 5 restock is the 21st time that Sony’s flagship console is available for pre-order in India since its launch in February last year. Its Blu-ray-less sibling, the PS5 Digital Edition, fares even worse, and is only the 15th time interested buyers have had the chance to pre-order. Of course, this is far from the only hassle with buying a PlayStation 5 in India. Each time, companies like Croma and Games The Shop have shown themselves unable to handle the load. Even Amazon has had its share of troubles. Additionally, Croma, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital are also known to cancel PS5 pre-orders due to their own technical challenges.
While there are currently no restrictions on deliveries, Sony Center website ShopAtSC continues its COVID-19 boilerplate: “We intend to deliver approx. [25th November 2022] and beyond – but please expect there may be delays with our delivery services, which may be affected due to lockdown/curfew regulations in your area. “Other official PS5 online retailers – Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales – are expected to match Sony Center’s estimates. However, we sometimes see some online retailers shipping PS5 pre-orders ahead of the announced shipping date.
