Blame it on the pandemic affecting supply chains or blame it on technical issues, but either way, you won’t be getting your hands on a new PlayStation 5 (PS5) anytime soon if your pre-orders weren’t processed this morning. 

As soon as the clock struck 11am today (Sept 18), several websites — including the official Sony Singapore store — crashed from the flood of traffic driven by folks wanting to secure their entry into next-gen gaming when the PS5 drops on Nov 19. 

The hype kicked off yesterday morning after an official announcement made by Sony on the availability and pricing of their upcoming console. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) Singapore then followed up with a confirmation that the PS5 will be available for online and offline pre-order today.

To the chagrin of local gamers, visiting sites like Sony Singapore and Qisahn brought up broken pages when pre-orders opened this morning. Both sites have since gone live again after getting temporarily downed.
