Despite severe criticisms over its $700 price tag, the PS5 Pro is currently the bestselling console on Amazon's sales charts.

Amazon listings in territories including the United States have displayed the PS5 Pro as the leading console, despite the fact it carries a hefty price tag of $699.99/£699.99. All in all, the PS5 Pro is the best-selling console on Amazon in the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Japan, France and Spain.

Where to pre-order the PS5 Pro and 30th anniversary PS5 slim today - Stock of Sony’s upgraded PlayStation 5 Pro is selling out fast – here’s where to find the best deals

PlayStation Direct took pre-orders for the PS5 Pro and the Anniversary Collection last month, with the latter selling out in less than 24 hours. And there has been no restock of the rest of the limited-edition range such as the $999 PS5 Pro bundle.

Retailers across the web are now able to post their own PS5 Pro pre-orders, after Sony initially launched its mid-cycle refresh exclusively at its PS Direct store in September. We're seeing some early activity in the UK this morning, so anyone looking to grab their console somewhere new should be out on those digital shelves hunting down stock.

If you purchase the PS5 Pro now, you should get the powerful gaming machine on its release date of November 7. Why buy from other retailers instead of Sony? Well, they typically offer more bundles (in case you want an extra controller or a game to go with the new console) and flexible payment plans.

Sony is rolling out a creative way to combat scalpers, and it would have been great if we had the system in the West for the launch of the 30th Anniversary Collection. As noted by Automaton, anyone wanting to secure a PS5 Pro in Japan must prove they're actually a gamer by filling out a reservation application.

PS5 Slim | $499 $449 at Amazon Save $50 - A $50 discount is never a bad thing when it comes to a new console, but seeing it a day earlier makes it even sweeter. If you don't want to miss out, grab one of these consoles before the busy swing tomorrow and Wednesday.

If you're looking for the perfect Christmas gift for gamers, then there's good news from PlayStation - as the PS5 Pro is now available to pre-order from all retailers, ahead of its release next month.
