In October 2022, Sony announced that it would exist allowing fans to register to buy a PlayStation 5 directly from the company. Information technology wasn't its simply endeavor at circumventing the ongoing stock bug surrounding the console — November 2022 saw the company airlifting PS5s into the U.K. to run into the vacation rush — just it threw a lifeline to fans unable to go one elsewhere. One of the problems with it, however, was that the promotion was simply extended to U.S. residents.

That is no longer the case. European PlayStation fans, specifically those residing in the U.M., Frg, France, kingdom of the netherlands, Kingdom of belgium, and Luxembourg, can at present register for the service themselves. The same caveats that affected U.S. applicants utilize here: Sony states that it has "a express corporeality" of PS5s available for buy, registering doesn't guarantee the opportunity to buy a console, and registrants are limited to one PS5 per household. The company even provides a rather blunt rebuttal to reinforce those latter points: "Registering more than once will not increase your opportunity of being selected."

Those wishing to register should be quick off the mark if they do receive a confirmation email, too. As the website warns: "Your purchase window is open up for a limited time only and while supplies final." Still, this could be a solid choice for those in the U.S. and parts of Europe who oasis't been able to pick upwards a PS5 still. Since the panel is likely to remain elusive well into 2022, information technology could exist worth rolling the dice.
