Yesterday, it was confirmed that PlayStation VR will be released in October for $399/€399/£349. After the announcement Amazon revealed that the device would be available to pre-order at 11am GMT today, 16 March. However, in less than 10 minutes day-one stock was sold out in the UK, France and Germany. Sales were slower in Italy with day-one stock selling out a few hours later.

At 11am order confirmation emails, for UK orders, set the delivery date as Monday 3 October but less than 10 minutes later the date was set back to October 31, suggesting Amazon’s day-one allocation had sold out. This afternoon, the item’s listing was altered with a message saying: ‘We do not currently have a release date for this product. Based on our initial allocation we cannot guarantee release day delivery.’

You can still pre-order the item on European Amazon sites but no delivery date is given.

PlayStation VR will release in October this year for $399/€399/£349.
