Sony registration page can bump you to the front of PS5 pre-orders

By

  • Sony has launched a registration page that can move you to the front of the PlayStation 5 pre-order queue in the US.
  • If you’re selected, you’ll get to order one system.
  • You’re not guaranteed a spot, and you’ll have to act quickly.

Sony still isn’t taking PlayStation 5 pre-orders, but you now have a chance to jump to the front of the line, if you’re lucky.

Twitter tipster Wario 64 has learned of a Sony registration page that lets US gamers with PSN IDs sign up for an email invitation to pre-order before most of the public. The company hasn’t said how many people it will pick or just what will increase your odds, but it’s choosing people based on “previous interests and PlayStation activities.”

If you’re selected, you’ll get to pre-order one PS5 (regular or Digital Edition) and up to two each of Sony accessories like DualSense controllers, charging stations, Pulse 3D headsets, media remotes, and cameras. The ordering window has an expiration date, and pre-orders will be on a “first come first serve” basis — you aren’t guaranteed to get one even if you’re invited.

It might be worth signing up. While it’s not certain just how many PS5 units will be available this holiday season, Sony has warned that “limited quantities and high demand” will come into play. You won’t have to compete with the broader public for units that could easily sell out.

Sony still hasn’t committed to pricing or a launch date, however. While the company hasn’t said why, many believe it’s remaining silent on PS5 launch details to prevent Microsoft from selling the Xbox Series X at a lower (or at least more competitive) price. Until either side blinks, this registration page may be as close as you get to putting money down on Sony’s next-gen console.

Sony PlayStation 5 buyer’s guide: price, release date, and more

Sony’s next entry in its critically acclaimed PlayStation line of gaming consoles is nearly here! Called the PlayStation 5 — or just PS5 for short — this next console will arrive November 12th and it has some pretty big shoes to fill.

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

By
The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look. Read more: The best fitness trackers Huawei Watch Fit design Credit: Kris Carlon / Android Authority The Huawei Watch Fit will instantly appeal to those who like Huawei’s smartwatch offerings but aren’t into the bulkiness of them. I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will...
