PS5 Restock India: October 12 Is Next Pre-Order Date for PlayStation 5, PS5 Digital Edition

gadgets.ndtv.com:

The next PS5 restock date is here. Sony's flagship gaming console — the Blu-ray equipped PlayStation 5 priced at Rs. 49,990 , and the Rs. 39,990 PlayStation 5 Digital Edition — will be back in stock this Wednesday, October 12 at 12pm noon. While Sony Center and Games The Shop seem to be the only one who have made the announcement so far, expect everyone else to be involved as well, as has been the case in the past. That includes Amazon India, Croma, Flipkart, Game Loot, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales. There's also the potential return of Prepaid Gamer Card — that had seemingly been blacklisted by Sony for several months — now renamed as e2z Store.

With Amazon's Great Indian Festival sale still ongoing, the October PS5 India restock will be part of that too. New card offers include 10 percent instant discount up to Rs. 7,750 on Axis Bank and Citi Bank credit and debit cards, and ICICI Bank credit cards. Over on Flipkart, the new PS5 restock date falls under the Big Diwali Sale, which runs from October 11 through October 16. If your final bill is Rs. 39,999 or more, you can save up to Rs. 4,000 on your PS5 purchase thanks to Flipkart's card offers. You also get 10 percent instant discount up to Rs. 2,000, plus an additional discount of Rs. 2,000 owing to the cart value.

While Sony Center has a Diwali Sale too, it doesn't have any offers on the PS5. (For what it's worth, you can get discounts on PS4 and PS5 games, between now and Diwali.) Thanks to Sony Center's listing though, we know that the new PS5 pre-orders will begin shipping on Friday, October 21. That means
