Update 20/01 → Bol.com has started adding orders to the order list as expected from customers who received a cancellation on December 4, but later subscribed to the reservation list. The release date is currently set at December 31, 2021, which suggests that there is currently no stock to ship.
Last week NedGame again some PS5 Digital Edition consoles shipped, while Game Mania contacted people who pre-ordered one of their stores to have it delivered later this month. A user in the PS5 Chat channel named Patrick Mous claims to have a resource within Sony Supply Chain Solutions. The information he published last week matches what was later offered by web shops, so we have no reason to doubt his claims for the time being.
The source writes that Game Mania 1200 consoles (1000 Disk and 200 Digital Edition), 175 Digital Edition consoles before NedGame and 300 DE consoles for Bol.com. The consoles of Bol.com would not have been extradited yet.
