The release of Sony Playstation 5 (PS5) this year will be totally different than previous years, because Sony PS5 will release globally at the same time. Now the big question is where to pre-order PS5 in Kuwait. I honestly don’t want to pay above market prices, which is something I used to do a lot back in the day. Going to Rehab Complex and seeing prices where they switch the original price in $ to KWD and still buy the product will never happen again. The first week of release usually have the highest prices then it drops gradually.
Pre-order through one of the local stores in Kuwait.

Bro you’re awesome I know this website its just I forgot about that option lol. It still says soon though so its not open for pre-order yet, but you can always set an alert for that or atleast keep your eyes open or else they’ll go in an instant. I hope even if its higher than the market price, it doesnt go higher than 10% of the original price.
Hey Abdalla the pre-order was open for few hours then it was gone. I totally agree regarding setting an alert, I usually use http://www.nowinstock.net/ and it is really helpful. A friend of mine who sell video games just told me that https://gamestore.com.kw/ who is the distributor of Sony Playstation in Kuwait will have PS5 during release. I can’t wait !
Me too brotha I totally cant wait!
Hopefully you secured an order
I did today in the morning! Im hoping I can trade it in for a Digital version once I receive it. If not, I’ll just roll with the fatter version ?
When can you preorder the ps5
Abdulrahman there was a round of pre orders 2 hours ago. Xcite fully sold out. Game Store has some right now but their website is the slowest in the market.
https://gamestore.com.kw/shop/product/676773-ps5-console-5929?category=146#attr=
So apparently a recent Turkish website had posted a PS5 preorder and the Digital version was set to about $399 while the Physical version was set to $499. Alotta people expect those price ranges, while others still think the range is between 499-549 US dollars. We’ll have to wait and see as the price is expected to be revealed in August
Yeah I believe the price will be in between $499-449 because Sony don’t want to lose potential customers due to the price. That happened back in PS3 era where it was more expensive than Xbox 360, which made customers buy Xbox 360 instead of PS3.
Abdalla, you got the pricing exactly right !!
God damn I just saw my old comments, who would’ve thought bro ?
Any idea when or if pre-orders will come to Kuwait?
Not sure when it will start. It is getting confusing where Sony announced that it will start next day in the US but started few hours later. Even in the UK, it was set for next week and they did pre-orders few hours ago.
When will The PS5 be available in local stores ?
It should be available by November 19th, 2020
Ok you guys I got some news. I’ve tried my best contacting the mentioned local stores and those were my results:
Game Store: 2 days Maximum and they’ll start taking preorders so tomorrow or after tomorrow!
Xcite: still no clue but once its up on the website you can start Preordering. Sign up your interest in PS5 for a notification from their site.
Best Buy: next month Preorders will open, so keep that as your last option should you fail with your other options.
Eureka: No contact number nor an email to have their feedback, perhaps instagram ?
Thank you so much Abdulla !! your info was so valuable, you are well connected 😀
No bro THANK YOU for keeping everyone up to date since PS5 news’ inception, I just wanted to give you a hand for all your great efforts ??
LOL! Jarir KSA has it for ~KWD 190, and they only have the physical version. I bet in Kuwait they’ll just flip the Dollar sign to KWD and BAM, thats the price.
This is the website’s link if you’re interested. They deliver to kuwait : https://www.jarir.com/sa-en/sony-ps5
Will they ship to Kuwait ?
Highly likely they would since it Resides within KSA, not sure though
Thanks guys….great to know that there are folks in on the hype
I’ll gladly pay 10-15 KD over retail if it means to get it at near normal retail price cuz rehab gonna probably double the prices as soon as it comes out
Yeah I totally agree with you Husain, I honestly think Rehab will be in the 240-280 range during the first 2 weeks of release. They always over charge when demand is very high.
i feel that rehab is going down day by day because of those companys selling games cheaper and games being digital
I totally agree with you. I used to go to Rehab every week and buy physical games, but now I buy everything online. The figurine market is still strong in Rehab. because there are a lot of rare items.
How can I message you in private I have information as to when the ps5 will restock in a certain store
guys gamestore is showing pre-order but the page is not yet loaded….get ready
Haha yeah the generation last for 7 years so it is worth the hype 😀
GO GO GO GO! GAMESTOP & XCITE ARE OPEN FOR PREORDER, SADLY NO DIGITAL EDITION, LETS GOOOO
I mean Game Store not Game Stop lol
It was a great timing Abdalla Thank you so much !! I updated the article during that time, and managed to get one. Sadly I couldn’t get a digital edition for my friend from Gamestore. It seems all stores are resisting to sell it because they can’t buy games
Haha yw brother. I was reaally hoping for a Digital Edition cuz it looks better in my opinion and I dont buy disks. I might trade my Physical PS5 when I get it if I know that there would be a store that has a digital version
Guys all stores best, eureka, x-cite have it up….order from xcite….none of the others seem to be able to process…i got mine processed from xcite
Thanks a lot vas100 😀 I managed to get a PS5. Was anyone able to get the digital edition ? my friends were resisting the purchase of the one with CD and now they regret it. They wanted the digital edition
Im regretting it too i really want the digital version and i messed up
I think most stores will avoid selling it because they can’t sell games when it comes to up-selling. I know a lot of store owners in Rehab and they told me that digital sales affected them big time.
Btw geekay are not accepting store orders they say they are sold out
I really, really don’t want to spend extra cash and get the disc version. I haven’t used any discs since 2015. Do you have any idea when can we pre order the digital version?
Game Store is the only one that has the digital version, but I don’t know anyone who was able to buy it
I contacted Game Store. The digital version will be available at launch. No pre orders for now.
Great….did you get yours from xcite as well? I did not see the digital edition anywhere.
Yeah I got it right before their server crashed. Now I prefer to get it from Kuwait because of warranty and pricing is fair this time. In the past I used to buy from Rehab Complex and it was much more than buying from the US.
Gamestore have pre orders now quickly go grab one i just grabbed one
I sent it to my friends, they told me it gets stuck when they reach Knet page
It worked for me they had to give it a minute it takes a long time to load but i got it
Where can i pre-order ps5 in kuwait?
Hey Waleed did you try going to Eureka or Xcite if you can place an order in their physical stores. I am not sure now if they have or not
Did you pre-order ps5 in Kuwait ?
Yes I have Waleed, did you manage to get one ?
How did you get it?
No till now I am confused with the disc version and the digital version but for me it doesn’t matter which one i get.
any ideas on when the console might have more preorder stock and if it will be possible to buy it on day 1 without a preorder?
Did you try going to Eureka or Xcite physical stores and ask for pre-order ? Try you might have some luck, but it is unknown by now.
I contacted some of my sources and they told me it is unknown right now if they will have more to stock as they are waiting for Sony to get back to them. In general supply is less than the demand.
also i have found out from lulu hyper market kuwaits instagram that you can also “pre book” from them but you have to go to the physical store if you want to prebook one
ryuker,
From where did you pre-order the ps5 in Kuwait?
And ryuker which version did you get?
The one that comes with CD, the digital one isn’t available in Kuwait only in Game Store but never saw it in Stock. I personally don’t use CD’s at all
I called Eureka a few moments ago and they told you can preorder ps5 the disc version and you have to pay the all amount and when it gets to the store by 19-11 they will call you.
Yeah that is the only one available in Kuwait. That’s why everyone went for it !
you seem to be great at tracking
may i ask if you know a way to track or get notified when an upcoming collectors edition say like resident evil village gets ready to order
There are multiple ways. I was told about a Chrome Plugin called Page Monitor https://youtu.be/ujkChH_C-m8 but I honestly didn’t like it, I got a notification every time there was a basic change in the site. The other way which is less annoying but still annoying is following gamestore.kw Instagram account and turn on Post Notifications. It is annoying, but it works.
be prepared for the next ps5 pre order patch

Yeah Zeyad it is coming. In the US they will be taking orders today, but no word in Kuwait yet.
Hi,
Just wanted to thank you for the amazing post, and the regular updates.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks
You’re welcome Humoud, and Thank you so much 😀 I will keep it updated all the way
I luckily secured a console from gamestore but are they as reliable/safe as Xcite and other stores?
Thanks for all the updates btw.
Yes Ahmad, Game Store is the official distributor of Playstation in Kuwait, so don’t worry.
Hey, I also got mine from Game Store. How do you know they’re the official distributor?
Check this video from the National Fund. He talks about his story https://twitter.com/thenationalfund/status/1065187023923961856
My friends who own stores in Rehab Complex told me he is the official distributor, you can ask around and if I am mistaken please update me so I adjust my info.
Thanks Khalid
I see. Honestly I would’ve went with Xcite but I’ve lost faith in them lol. Hopefully we get our consoles on launch! By the way, checkout nintendoq8 on instagram, they’re claiming to have a PS5 on Nov 1st and is auctioning it for 220 KD as a starting bid. Typical Rehab behavior (they used to have a store there).
Oh wow this is a leaked copy then, they always do that. They get it earlier and charge more just like back in the day when they sold GTA 2 weeks before release for 50 KD.
spread the word Gamestore restock ps5
Yeah I added it in the last update 😉 Thanks neoark
3rood isn’t soldout yet, so highlight it
When you try to checkout it tells you that it is out of stock, so that’s why I didn’t highlight it.
question, i did place a pre order for the ps5 digital edition from geekay they told me to pick it up from the store on the 19th of NOV, my question is will anyone get it earlier ?
