Sony will have “a limited amount of PS5 consoles available for customers in the US to purchase direct from PlayStation” next month.
Though signing up at Sony Direct secures neither you a PS5 nor even a definite chance to buy one, it’s nonetheless a lifeline for players who’ve been desperately trying to secure Sony’s next-gen system but have yet to do so.

Right now it appears as though the deal is only available stateside, and is – predictably enough – restricted to one console per PSN ID. However, unlike the Steam Deck preorders, there’s seemingly no restriction on how old those accounts need to be, as if you don’t yet have a PSN ID, you can sign up for one as part of the process.
If you’re lucky and get an invite next month, you’ll be eligible to purchase either a PS5 console or its digital-only counterpart, two wireless controllers if they’re cosmic red or midnight black, or three white DualSense controllers. You can also pick up a media remote and Pulse 3D wireless headset while stocks last, too.
