As detailed on the IGN UK Deals X / Twitter account, some Argos customers have reportedly received automated emails concerning their PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition bundle pre-orders. The emails state that the company is “unable to fulfill” the pre-order and “will automatically process a refund”.

As beautiful as PS5’s range of 30th anniversary hardware is, limited edition items such as this inevitably always lead to anxiety. Last week, Sony made the PS5 Slim Digital Edition console available to third-party retailers, which resulted in an influx of pre-orders. Unfortunately, UK retailer Argos has screwed them up.

UK retailer Argos is cancelling some PlayStation 5 30th Anniversary Edition console pre-orders. According to a growing number of X users, Argos began sending out emails on Monday informing customers that pre-orders which had previously been confirmed via email would no longer be fulfilled.

UK retailer Argos has started canceling preorders for the PS5 Slim Digital 30th Anniversary Edition, citing an inability to fulfill the orders. Customers affected by the unexpected cancellations are being automatically refunded to their original payment methods.

Sales for the PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary console continue to be a disaster, this time at a retailer in the UK.
