Update 22/02 (14:30) → Concrete information about future deliveries has unfortunately come to an end. All we know right now is that NedGame a new delivery is expected starting in March. Today it was even temporarily possible to get a PS5 bundle to order with a guaranteed delivery on March 12th or earlier. In most cases, Sony’s deliveries focus on a new region every week, which would mean that the other Dutch retailers also expect new stock during this period.

We also have some bad news, as retailers have complained to Sony about the leak, which will dry up information about future deliveries. The latest information was that new deliveries are planned for the Dutch and Belgian markets this week. This is the current situation:
- Bol.com – On Friday, February 5 reportedly 4000 Disk Editions were delivered He was.with.

The weather forecast is good and there is a good chance that something will happen soon.
- Coolblue – Sony would add 400 Disk Editions and 300 Digital Editions on February 5 Coolblue have delivered. A page has now been discovered at Coolblue that suggests that soon a lottery will be organized.

- Media Markt – The MediaMarkt started again last week with contacting people who could collect their pre-order. Not all pre-orders have been delivered yet, so the chance of a single sale is nil.

Bee Bol.com it is still quiet, although as indicated earlier this could have to do with the limitations and delays at PostNL due to the winter weather. Another drop took place on Thursday NedGame and just at BCC. In both cases a bundle was offered.

No information is available on these matters.
Update 08/02 (01:20) → Just an update from Patrick (Telegram channel PS5 Chat) with everything that will happen in the coming days.
