Kohl's PS5 PlayStation 5 1

The Internet exploded earlier today after Kohl’s unexpectedly listed PlayStation 5 consoles for sale. The American retailer was flogging Sony’s next-gen console in bundles alongside an additional DualSense controller and a copy of the superhero open worlder Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for $639.99. Unfortunately, it looks like it blew past its PS5 stock allocation.

Thousands of people purchased a system from the store, but some of those orders are now being cancelled. There are reports all over the web of Kohl’s contacting consumers, telling them that the item is no longer available. For example, it happened to this person on Reddit:

And an identical email was shared by this user on Twitter:

The good news is that if you’re eligible for Kohl’s Cash, then you’ll get to keep any credit that you made as part of this order – regardless of whether it gets cancelled or not. Nevertheless, the hunt for PS5 stock rumbles on for many – let’s hope Sony can stay true to its word and ship more systems soon, eh?
