At Kotaku, we select and write independently about things we like, and we think you’ll like them too. We have affiliate and advertising partnerships, which means we may charge a portion of the sales or other compensation for the links on this page. By the way: the prices are accurate and the items in stock at the time of publication.
Really, where the hell can you buy a PS5 in Australia? And when will there be more? We asked all retailers not to.
If you want to buy some games or extras for your PS5, you can check out some of our sales summaries:
Update 1/6: The most recent hardware crash was in Big W.
Amazon Australia: PS5 stock
Update 21/4: Amazon is back in stock for the digital PS5. It also had stock for the PS5 disc version, but it sold out as quickly as it looked. Amazon is still the most reliable download site in recent times, so we’ll keep you posted if more come out.
Sony Store Australia: PS5 stock

Update 20/3: And they’re back. There’s a hint that EB might have more stock this time next week, so be sure to keep a link handy on EB’s PS5 pre-order page for future drops.
JB Hi-Fi: PS5 stock
7/3 Update – With online orders not yet available, the best option with JB is to call your local store and ask if you can join a pre-order list. Kotaku Australia readers have been successful with this in the past; you can find all the phone numbers you need through the JB Store Finder page.
Good luck!
Vodafone
Following in the footsteps of Telstra, Vodafone announced that it is offering the disk version and digital consoles through its customer service channel.
The Vodafone page accepts registrations for people who want to add a PlayStation 5 to their existing Vodafone services. You need at least two Vodafone mobile, NBN, or tablet-eligible postpay services to qualify. There are no savings (or increases) in the price of the full-size console or digital edition, and you can choose to pay for 12, 24, or 36 months. It will cost $ 20.83 a month in addition to what you already pay Vodafone for the disc-based PS5 and $ 16.67 a month for digital publishing. You will need to call 1300 728 637 to confirm eligibility and place an order, but there is currently no guarantee in stock.
The Good Guys: PS5 Stock

The Gamesmen: PS5 Stock
Update: 3/23: Everything is gone for now, but stay tuned. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
Harvey Norman / Domayne: PS5 stock
Update 7/3: Harvey Norman’s shares are currently missing and it is unknown when he will return. Stay tuned to the Harvey stock page right here.
Kogan
7/3 Update: There is currently no stock in Kogan or PS5 landing page. Lots of PS5 games, though.
