Avid gamers will agree that it’s been a quiet start to the year for PlayStation 5 (PS 5) in its first year. But, halfway into 2021, June seems to be the start of what promises to be a surge in new releases and we have all that info right here.
Are PS5 consoles available for sale in South Africa?
The Sony-owned console caused a frenzy that was felt worldwide when it released its first batch of the PS5 in November 2020. The limited release was hampered by a number of issues, including product faults that forced a mass recall.
In South Africa, retailers were restricted to a small batch per order and thus, it was almost impossible to get one’s hands on the most coveted console on the planet.
Six months later and electronic stores like Game, Makro, HI-Q, Games4U and Incredible Connexion still don’t have stock available. If they do, purchases are often made with the pre-order option and even so, retailers can only process a certain number of sales.
