Hmmm, something seems to have clicked. As reported by Spiel Times, it appears as though multiple online retailers -- across multiple territories -- have opened sign ups for PlayStation 5 pre-order notifications. In other words, you can now tell the likes of GAME here in the UK that you want to be notified when Sony's next-gen system is officially available to pre-order.
While this isn't hugely exciting news, it does represent another step towards the eventual release of the PS5 in late 2020. It also suggests that retailers are now gearing up for the big reveal.
Said reveal is still shrouded in secrecy, but numerous rumours reckon that the PS5 will step out from the shadows in early 2020, followed by a blowout at either E3 2020 (if Sony decides to show up) or some other big event. As always, though, we're just going to have to wait and see how things play out.

$499 price announcement along with a huge AAA game at launch and these will sell out in hours.
Happy Birthday Playstation:)
Ohhhh shap it's happening!! Got my card ready!!
Anyone remembers if it was the same timing for ps4?
I will be day 1 if, and only if, a new Gran Turismo or Horizon Zero Dawn game are available.
It's coomiiinnng. But I won't really need a notification since I'll see it here or on the livestream. I'll know the minute it's available to pre-order, before they can even send out that notification.
not Amazon UK yet though, at least i couldn't find it
I will wait a few months for sure or they have to release Legend of Dragoon day one.
Unless they reveal a launch game that blows my mind I might actually wait till the exclusives start coming. Bought PS4 day one and was playing Resogun and Contrast day one bc the selection was so thin. Not the type of games I want to be playing day one.
Eeeeeee!! Horizon 2, last of us 2 on launch day
Plenty of life in my P.S.4 next time round I might invest in a meaty laptop .
Retailer trying to lock you in to a purchase from them first. Amazing! Get ready for the chain reaction.
Sony won't show up on e3, why share spotlight with everyone else when sony can make their own event and got all the attention to themselves, like apple with their own event.
Day 1 preorder for me, preferably with Amazon (where I got my PS4). Not worried about price.
no wondering why it not showing up on Amazon for pre-order
pls show me the monster and ill show you my Money
Pre order notafacations but No link to sigh up for it thats wierd also cant find any sites offering pre order notifications for ps5
@Ken_Kaniff yeah, I feel the same.
At this point I’m gonna hold off until a year after PS5 is launched or the first big price drop.
PS4 still has a lot to offer me and I didn’t rush into this gen either.
If the price is right, though, and the games are amazing, I might change my mind.
Time to start saving up for a PS5+nice 4K TV to buy at the same time
@Kienda Completely agree. I have a backlog a mile long on PS4. Ive rushed into getting every prior gen, and honestly i feel I could have waited and been just as happy. Like you said though if the price is right and they reveal some awesome launch day title it might change me mind.
@No_Cartridge thanks
