According to people who can get on the website, there’s now PS5 stock here. (I can’t get on the site to look, but good luck.)

Not just for the PS5 – for anything.

Here’s what you see if you try and visit:

Sony has a page on its website titled “Buy PlayStation 5”, and which promises to offer ways to buy it. But for now it still bears a message that the console “launches Nov 19, 2020" and no indication that it has been released, let alone where to get it.

Ultimately it’s not like they need to update it, given nobody’s going to be struggling to sell PS5s today…

That information, as you probably won’t be surprised to hear, is not all that promising: stock is expected to be short and late to arrive, if it arrives at all.

But there are some reasons to have hope.

It’s not clear how much stock there will be available today. But Amazon will have at least one.

It emailed customers telling them that some consoles will be available at noon in the UK or 1pm Central European time.

They might not actually arrive all that quickly, however, players were warned.

“We will make every effort to deliver all orders as soon as possible,” Amazon said in the email. “If you order, we will email you with an estimated delivery date. However, this may be subject to change.”

What do you get with your PS5? (If you get your PS5.) Not all that much, really, as you might expect.

It’s a tough day for shops. Some are being hit by technical problems, others are putting visitors in queues.

Here’s the latest on the issues that are greeting fans as they hunt for in-stock PlayStations.

… and if you’re trying for a PS5 today, good luck.
