Dhindsa said that customers will now be able to get the “PlayStation 5 Slim editions and controllers delivered in 10 minutes” via the quick-delivery platform.

While the PlayStation 5 Slim is available for 54,000 in India, the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (Slim) costs 44,990.

Soon after the announcement, a section of the Internet wondered why there is a need to get PlayStation 5 delivered in 10 minutes.

An X user wrote, “Nobody needs a PS5 this urgently.”

“Delivery in 10 minutes or free?” chimed in another.

A third asked, “EMI pe milega kya?

“Rumor: you’ll be able to buy a house on Blinkit in 10 mins by June,” joked a fourth.

A fifth joined, “We getting PS5 in 10 minutes before GTA 6.”

Sir, mai order karta hu aap mujhe fund kardo,” expressed a sixth.

A seventh joined, “Good one. But I don’t understand why someone would need a gaming console delivered in 10 mins?”

The PlayStation 5 is already out of stock in Bengaluru.

This X user said that he was “just ordering some groceries”.

Last year, Blinkit partnered with Apple reseller Unicorn and offered ten-minute delivery of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 plus. The quick delivery of Made in India phones elicited almost similar responses from people.
