Sony Confirms PS5 Won’t Be Available for In-Store Purchase on Launch Day. One of the most anticipated gaming launches is the Sony PS5. Sony announced that there will be no PS5 consoles available for in-person, walk-in purchases when it goes on sale next week. The company is worried about long lines forming outside of stores. The only way you are getting a PS5 at launch is if you pre-ordered one.

The PS5 is bigger than all of them. According to Sony, the PS5 is approximately 15.4 inches tall, 10.24 inches deep and 4.09 inches wide, making it the single biggest game console you've probably ever heard of.

What can we expect from ps5?

The PS5 will certainly be a step up from current-gen consoles. Specs include an NVMe SSD for super-fast load times, ray-tracing support, a built-in 4K Blu-ray player, and backwards compatibility with thousands of titles in the PS4's game library.
