Ready for the launch
The PS5 Pro preorder can be obtained from various retailers in the US and UK. Stock levels have remained consistent following the initial release from PlayStation Direct and the first day of sales from participating retailers. Nonetheless, the 30th-anniversary collection features significantly higher demand than the basic PS5 Pro and may soon sell out.
PS5 Pro Retailers, here is where to get your consumers
Several stores are available for African gamers to place their preorders. PlayStation Direct is the official site and reliable choice. Amazon is also a favourite for many sellers because it has a large customer base for selling products, but buyers need to check for stock updates regularly. Other outlets include GameStop, Walmart, and local video game stores, which could offer lower prices and special offers.
Pricing Overview
Like the standard PS5, the PS5 Pro currently costs about ₦536,500 ($699.99) in Nigeria. The standard 30th Anniversary bundle costs approximately ₦762,000 (around $999.99); however, due to its popularity, the original marked-down console is selling out very quickly.

Tips for Successful Preordering
To increase the chances of a successful preorder, set up an account with the list of the targeted retailers beforehand to ease the check-out process. In doing so, you preserve your billing and shipping information, which saves you valuable time during moments of high demand. Additionally, it is wise to monitor retailer websites for restock alerts.
Although these tips may seem too simple, following them can boost your chances of securing the highly-anticipated console when it officially launches, particularly since the PS5 Pro still has the potential to sell out ahead of its launch.
