PS5 India November 11 Restock: How to Pre-Order PlayStation 5, PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West Bundles

PS5 India November 11 Restock: How to Pre-Order PlayStation 5, PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West Bundles

PS5’s November restock, the first since the recent price hike, is here. Today at 12pm noon, both variants of Sony’s elusive next-gen console — the Rs. 54,990 4K Blu-ray-equipped PS5, and its Rs. 44,990 disc-less counterpart PS5 Digital Edition — will be up for pre-order in India. Except just like in August, they will only be offered in a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West, the PlayStation-exclusive action RPG that was released back in February. Weirdly, there’s no sign of a God of War Ragnarök bundle — that is being offered in other parts of the world — even as Sony India went all out on the marketing of the new PlayStation-exclusive action-adventure game released this week on both PS4 and PS5.

Owing to the rise of PS5’s price in India, the PS5 Horizon Forbidden West bundle is similarly impacted. The HFW bundle with the 4K Blu-ray-equipped PS5 has shot up by Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 58,990, while the Digital Edition HFW bundle is now priced at Rs. 48,490, an increase of Rs. 4,500 over August prices. At this point unfortunately, this isn’t really a saving — you’re paying more if anything. Horizon Forbidden West bundle was discounted to Rs. 1,499 during Amazon’s Great Indian Festival sale, and Rs. 2,839 during a PlayStation Store sale in August and September. (Do note that the PS4 version can be upgraded for free to the PS5 variant.)

Still, those who haven’t managed to get their hands on a PS5 yet may not care. If you are trying to buy PlayStation 5 and PS5 Digital Edition Horizon Forbidden West bundles online, you can do that on Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. You can also check out game stores near you. Those tend to be a better shot at times. Though as has been the case for over a year now, the big concern is whether you can actually manage to buy one, given Sony India’s continued PS5 inventory struggles. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X — the PS5’s biggest rival — is doing much better now in that regard, though that also says a lot about respective demand.

The November 11 PlayStation 5 restock is the 21st time Sony’s flagship console is being made available for pre-order in India, since its launch last February. Its Blu-ray-devoid sibling PS5 Digital Edition has fared even poorer, with this being only the 15th time interested buyers have had the opportunity to pre-order one. Of course, that is far from the only hassle with buying a PlayStation 5 in India. Every single time, the likes of Croma and Games The Shop have shown themselves to be unable to handle the load. Even Amazon has had trouble a few times. Additionally, Croma, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital are also known for cancelling PS5 pre-orders due to their own technical challenges.

And while there have been no restrictions on deliveries for a while now, Sony Center website ShopAtSC continues with its COVID-19 boilerplate: “We intend to deliver your allocated stocks around [25th November 2022] and onwards — however please expect a delay in our delivery services which might get impacted due to regulations imposed by lockdown/ curfew in your locations.” Expect the rest of the official PS5 online retailers — Amazon, Croma, e2z Store, Flipkart, GameLoot, Games The Shop, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales — to be in line with Sony Center’s estimates. Though at times, we have seen some online retailers ship out their PS5 pre-orders prior to the announced delivery date.

How to pre-order PS5 on e2z Store

Bengaluru-based online games store Prepaid Gamer Card has rebranded itself as e2z Store. Hopefully with the new name, it will leave the days of egregious bundling behind.

Prepaid Gamer Card had a habit of doing that. In May last year, it forced costumers to buy half a dozen games and accessories along with their PlayStation 5, with the total going over Rs. 85,000. The PS5 then cost Rs. 49,990 on its own.

Like everyone else, e2z Store has the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition — and it too offers free home delivery everywhere in India.

You don’t need an account to buy the PS5 from e2z Store, but the website will create one for you during the checkout process, so you might as well have one. You will naturally need to provide an email address as well if you don’t already have an account.
