Latest update 11/10 18:03 pm BST: Stock is holding strong at all of the retailers we saw stocking the PS5 Pro yesterday. You can pre-order the PS5 Pro pretty easily right now, but that doesn't mean stock will last forever. There's still a while before launch day, and that gives people plenty of time to slowly drain each retailer of their supply. For now, we've done another pass at all the retailers in the US and UK to ensure you know where to look first.
The PS5 Pro, for all its $699.99 / $699.99 goodness, doesn't come with a disc drive - you'll need to grab that separately. The original drive still works for the Pro, though, and you'll find it below.
UK: £99.99 at Currys
You can now pre-order the PS5 Pro from a wide range of retailers in the US and UK. Stock has seemed pretty stable, both in the initial batch from PlayStation Direct and on the first day of participating sellers opening up their doors. The demand for the 30th Anniversary collection is much higher, so we might see those sell out, and then the PS5 Pro garner more interest. Either way, we're keeping tabs on the stock levels for you.
As you've likely heard by now, the PS5 Pro costs $699.99 / £699.99 and will launch on November 7, 2024. PlayStation hardware launches can sell out extremely quickly, so even despite the higher price here, we would recommend you make a buying decision sooner rather than later if you want a console come launch day. We were there all those years ago when those first early PS5 orders started kicking off around the web, and we've been covering the resulting stock shortages for around a year after release day. That means we know a thing or two about Sony's queue system, hunting down stock, and making sure you pay a fair price.
Of course, PlayStation 30th Anniversary pre-orders are also back in the spotlight and seem much more highly coveted. With retailers releasing stock of those bits of PlayStation hardware in waves at the moment, the PS5 Pro is the easier option to buy. As stock levels fall and rise, or if we notice any special bundles and offers from retailers that want to get scrappy, we'll be letting you know down below.

PS5 Pro pre-orders: FAQs
Where can I pre-order the PS5 Pro?
PS5 Pro pre-orders are exclusive to the PlayStation Direct store in the US and UK for the first week. For a full list of retailers that will be available to pre-order from October 10 onwards, check out our list of go-to retailers that will give you the best deals.
Can you preorder the PS5 Pro?
The PS5 Pro is available for pre-order now and will be until its launch on November 7. Like all PlayStation consoles before it, it could be so popular that stock runs out before then, but with this particular console being on the pricier side, it's less likely that will happen. In 2020, we saw the initial pre-order stock of the PS5 run out before release, but that was mainly due to supply issues during the global pandemic.
How do I pre-order a PS5 Pro?
Pre-ordering a PS5 is pretty easy, so far. For the time being, you need to head to the PlayStation Direct store and sign in. From there, you'll need to go to the retail page for the PS5 Pro, then look for a buying button. If it's greyed out and says that stock isn't available, you'll need to keep an eye out for a stock refresh. At the moment, stock is holding firm, and all you'll need to do is add a PS5 Pre-order to your card, then checkout.
Once October 10 hits, there will be more retailers stocking the PS5 Pro, so it might get a bit more complicated. Still, that's why we're here to help and we'll be checking for the best suppliers and deals.

At $700, should you pre-order the PS5 Pro? In the article linked to that question, we've gone through the biggest talking points and tried to weigh things up from both sides of the argument.
How long do PS5 pre-orders take?
Due to high demand, sometimes pre-orders for PlayStation hardware can be released via email when you register interest. An acknowledgment from Sony could take 10-12 days to hit your email inbox, but a pre-order will usually mean you get your console or peripheral on launch day, or at least in the first few weeks after release.
