Company Sony began to cancel applications for the purchase of new-generation consoles issued in Russia last year PS5… Presumably, the decision is related to price changes and product shortages.
Gamers massively complain about the service of pre-orders, which are issued through the website of the company’s brand store (store.sony.ru). Not all customers were able to get their consoles, although some applied back in September 2023.
And since April 1, prices have risen. Standard Playstation 5 now costs 49,990 rubles, and for PlayStation 5 Digital Edition they ask for 40,990 rubles.
What is Sony doing? The company canceled old pre-orders, as it allegedly cannot fulfill them. Now people will have to buy consoles at new prices.
Apparently, we are talking about cancellation of applications without payment on the hard-to-find PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles. The only exception will be those pre-orders that have already been paid for.
“Due to the objective impossibility of fulfilling your application within the previously expected time frame, we are forced to inform you about the cancellation of all preliminary applications for the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition model posted in our online store. All previously paid orders will be executed without changing the conditions“, – stated in the statement of the press service.
GameMAG edition asked for a comment to “PlayStation Russia“.
Back in February 2023 Retail Companies Association (AKORT) warned of the impending rise in the price of equipment due to a significant increase in logistics costs. And recently, experts said in an interview TASSthat in the next six months the population should prepare for a shortage of electronics and a rise in prices by 10-20%.
