Walmart Recedes In-Person PS5 Pre-Orders

Walmart, PS5

On the heels of Sony’s apology for the PS5’s unexpected pre-order snafu, Walmart has come out saying they’re pulling back its planned in-store pre-orders for the console, which were set to start on September 22. The company fell back on crowd control concerns, according to an email sent to GameSpot, which broke the story.

“Walmart has decided not to proceed with the planned store preorder to control store traffic and keep our customers safe and socially distanced. Customers can still get the console on November 12 when it’s released. Apologies for any confusion.”

The worry for crowd control is clearly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has the CDC telling businesses and people to maintain six feet of distance, but with how fast PS5 pre-orders sold out online, there could easily be an influx of customers heading to any given Walmart, if that’s their only option.

The PS5 is slated to launch on November 12.

Sony Will Seemingly Limit PS5 Sales To One Per Customer

PS5

If you were planning on nabbing both a regular and digital edition of the PS5, you might be out of luck if you’re buying from PlayStation directly. A tech-savvy ResetEra user noticed an error message found in Sony’s Direct page‘s code. The message is triggered when a user attempts to buy both a PS5 with a disc drive and an all-digital edition.

The same user also discovered some code hidden behind the public that points to players able to use PS4 controllers for the next-gen consoles. PSX Extreme has independently verified all the alleged code and they are indeed present.

It’s been a long-known issue that Sony would be a tad bit short when it comes to supply due to the whole COVID-19 thing. It was only recently they revealed they’re aiming to produce and distribute 10 million units by the end of the year.

What do you think? Does this limitation disappoint you? Tell us below!
