After months of waiting, Sony has finally revealed preorder information for the PlayStation 5, along with the price and release date for the next-generation console. Launching November 12 at $500 for the standard console and $400 for the digital edition, the PS5 will officially be available to preorder starting tomorrow, September 17, at select retailers, PlayStation tweeted after today's PS5 showcase. That said, we're seeing some listings go live already. Notably, the PS5 has gone up for preorder at Walmart already and some people have been able to successfully purchase the PS5, though it may take several tries at checkout.
PS5 pre-orders will be available starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers.

This new PS5 preorder date comes weeks after Sony opened preorder registration on its own website, saying it would be offering preorder reservations on a first-come, first-served basis from "existing customers." According to the PS5 preorder FAQ page, the selection would be "based on previous interests and PlayStation activities," and those who register would know if they're selected if they are contacted by email. It's unclear if this invite-only preorder reservation process has already begun or when Sony will start emailing people to reserve a preorder through PlayStation Direct.also
While Sony's preorder sign-up page made it sound as though the first round of preorders would be exclusive to PlayStation Direct, that's clearly not the case; instead, you're simply putting your name on a list for the chance at a guarantee to preorder the PlayStation 5. The page is still taking sign-ups if you haven't registered yet--you'll simply need your PSN ID.
Update: PS5 preorders are a developing situation, so please note this story is currently being updated as we track down links.
$500
The PlayStation 5 has listings at several retailers now, including a listing at Walmart that seems to have gone live early. Several GameSpot staffers have been able to place their preorder at Walmart--you may need to try multiple times during checkout. Walmart will charge you (or place a hold on the money) when you place your preorder.
$400
The PS5 Digital edition costs $100 less than the standard PS5 at $400 and does not include a disc drive for playing physical games.

The new Pulse 3D wireless headset for PlayStation 5 features 3D audio support and dual noise-canceling microphones. It'll be available to preorder for $100, but no listings have appeared yet.
$60
The PlayStation 5 HD Camera features dual 1080p lenses for broadcasting gameplay moments. It'll be available to preorder for $60, but no listings are live yet.
$30
If you plan on using your PS5 to stream movies and TV regularly, you might want to consider picking up a media remote for easy browsing. The PS5 media remote will cost $30, but no listings are live yet.
$30
There's nothing worse than picking up a controller to find it's completely out of battery, but that issue is easily solved by a controller charging station. The PS5 DualSense charging station can hold two controllers and costs $30, but no preorder listings are available just yet.
More details we know about the PS5
The PS5 will usher in a new generation of games, but it will also feature PS4 backward-compatibility. Both consoles boast similar internal architecture, so the transition is easier than what we saw from the PS3 to PS4. However, it's unclear which PS4 games will be compatible with the PS5. Sony has said that most games will run on the PS5--Cerny noted that almost all of the PS4's 100 most-played games will be compatible with the new system. The reason some games aren't compatible is that "the boost is truly massive this time around and some game code just can't handle it," Cerny said. This means Sony has to test each game before they can give the thumbs up.
Speaking of games, Sony also has quite a few games on the horizon for its new console. Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart were among the reveals during a June event as were Resident Evil 8: Village, Hitman III, and a Demon's Souls remake. During the PS5 showcase event, Sony also revealed a new God of War and Final Fantasy XVI, both of which will arrive on PS5 next year.
As for the PS5's specs, it most notably boasts a custom 825GB SSD with an expandable NVMe SSD storage slot, which will ensure faster install times as well as faster loading--though not all NVMe SSDs will be capable of keeping up with the PS5.
The console supports ray tracing, 3D audio, and PlayStation VR, and it also has a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive. To simplify things, Sony has said the PS5 is powerful enough to support 4K resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate--that's double the refresh rate of most TVs, which typically run at 60Hz.
Sony also revealed the PS5's DualSense controller earlier this year. Sony said that one of its goals is "to deepen the feeling of immersion when you play games." The company elaborated on this by revealing two new features the next-gen controller will support. The first is the replacement of its rumble technology with haptic feedback--this is also why they dropped the Shock part of the DualShock name. Sony says that "you truly feel a broader range of feedback" with haptics, which means "crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field." Sony noted you can even feel the difference between various textures.
The second big new feature is what Sony calls "adaptive triggers," which the company claims can simulate various actions, such as "the tactile sensation of drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky terrain."
On the controller side, Sony also recently revealed the DualShock 4 will be able to connect to the PS5, but won't work with PS5 games, which likely means it'll only be usable for backward-compatible PS4 games.
