Sony has opened up a registration page for existing PlayStation customers to potentially receive an invite to pre-order and reserve a PS5 (opens in new tab).
According to the PS5 pre-order registration page (opens in new tab), "there will be a limited quantity of PS5 consoles available for pre-order," which is why Sony is sending them out to a select number of registered customers. That means registering doesn't guarantee you a PS5 pre-order (opens in new tab), nor does receiving an invite.
"Each invitation is open for a limited time and quantities are limited per PSN ID per transaction," reads the FAQ (opens in new tab) page for the registration. Those who receive a pre-order invite will be limited to one console, either digital or standard, and two of any of the PS5 accessories (opens in new tab).
Sadly, you'll need a US address to fulfill an invite from Sony for a PS5 pre-order, so those in other parts of the world will need to wait a bit longer for news on how to reserve their console.
Naturally, you'll still have the chance to pre-order your PS5 from the usual retailers, this is just registration to pre-order the console directly from Sony. It's worth noting that we still don't know anything about the PS5 price (opens in new tab), something that will naturally affect one's decision on whether to place a pre-order.
It seems like centuries away until that sweet, sweet Holiday 2020 release window, but just remind yourself of all the upcoming PS5 games (opens in new tab) you'll soon be able to play.
