It’s finally, officially here almost: the PlayStation 5 Pro will be available to preorder in Australia today—more specifically at 10 a.m. AEST. Better yet, today’s the day when you can also try to secure some 30th Anniversary themed hardware, which is all limited numbers stuff. Following a 9-minute presentation debuting the brand-new console, we now have additional information on where you can preorder the above for yourself.
At a glance, the PS5 Pro will set you back A$1,199 and comes with a 2TB SSD, a DualSense wireless controller, and Astro’s Playroom pre-installed. Unlike its predecessors, this console is only available as a digital version, but you can purchase the Disc Drive for PS5 separately, if you wish. You’ll also need to buy a vertical stand separately if you prefer it standing upright. The new console is set to release on November 7 this year, just in time for the holidays.
