Unfortunately, there is some disappointing news for those who were lucky enough to secure a pre-order for the limited edition PS5. The demand for this special console has caused some technical difficulties for Argos, one of the retailers offering pre-orders, resulting in the cancellation of some orders.
Last month, Sony announced the release of the PS5 Limited Edition to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation. Fans were given the opportunity to pre-order these new PS1-inspired console bundles, and as expected, they were sold out within minutes. It's no surprise that scalpers took advantage of this high demand, selling the consoles on eBay for exorbitant prices.
Fortunately, last week, some retailers restocked and opened up more pre-orders. However, it seems that Argos made some errors in processing these orders, leading to the cancellation of some pre-orders. Fans were initially confused when they received emails notifying them of a "mass cancellation" with no explanation. But after contacting Argos, they were informed that the email was sent in error and their orders were still valid.
However, it has now been confirmed that Argos has indeed cancelled some of the pre-orders due to processing errors. They have reached out to the affected customers to apologize for the disappointment and promise a full refund.
There has been no official statement from Argos regarding the glitch and who may be affected. The only way to know for sure if your pre-order is still valid is to either not receive any further information or to contact Argos directly.
For those who missed out on the initial and restock pre-orders, it seems that the chance to get your hands on the PS5 Limited Edition has passed. Retailers are no longer taking orders, and it's unlikely that there will be another restock. The same goes for the special 30th anniversary controller and the PlayStation Portal Limited Edition, so if you were hoping to snag one of those, you may be out of luck.
