UPDATE 10/11/21: The PlayStation Direct store has now launched in the UK, allowing consumers to purchase hardware, accessories and games direct from Sony.
ORIGINAL STORY 08/11/21: The PlayStation Direct online store is now live in Germany, with other European countries to follow “soon”.
The store allows Sony Interactive Entertainment to sell its products directly to consumers, including consoles, accessories and games.
The German store does list the PlayStation 5 console – alongside the DualSense controller, headset, PS Plus membership, and a couple of PlayStation exclusive games – but the console is, of course, out of stock.
