If you want to buy a PS5, you often have to reckon with expensive prices or stress due to low sales volumes. It is much more convenient to buy the console from a dealer.

Buying a PS5 at a fair price is currently not that easy. You can find out here in our insider which offers are really worthwhile and which shops you should keep an eye on.

With the right tips and tricks, you can get hold of one of the coveted next-gen consoles so much more easily. We will also show you which alternative providers and raffles you can still find what you are looking for.

The situation on September 21st

10:27 am: You can buy the PlayStation 5 from Amazon with less stress. For the bundle consisting of the console and the game Horizon Forbidden West, you can use an invitation button to reserve yourselves for the next sale. When it’s your turn, Amazon will email you with a link to grab the offer. No sales stress, no constantly updating the sales page, no frustration.

However, it may take a few days or even weeks for the invitation to arrive. This method is not a quick way to get to the PS5. She’s safe for that. The price is also fair at 609.99 dollars.

9:30 am: Another good tip for all of you who are impatient is eBay. Yes, there too the prices for some offers are absurdly high, but many now offer the PS5 and various bundles there at fairly fair prices. Especially when you consider Sony’s recent PS5 price hike.

9:00 o’clock: If you definitely have the PS5, don’t want to wait for the next drop and don’t care about the price, you can also check out Kaufland. There, mostly from external sellers, PS5 consoles and bundles are almost always offered, but usually at inflated prices. You have to decide for yourself whether they are worth the money to you.

8:26 am: The PS5 is currently being offered more frequently on the Internet, but rarely from larger (and above all reputable) dealers and often only at overpriced prices. The next big drop at a well-known retailer is pending, but the chances are currently higher for some shops than for others.

The chances of a drop are particularly high at Media Markt and Saturn, where the last drop was around a month ago. But Otto also offers the PS5 relatively often. You should also keep an eye on this dealer. Mueller is another good tip.

Sales opportunities at local dealers

Don’t you want to buy the console on the Internet, but in the classic store? Then drop by Media Markt and Saturn. It might be worthwhile for you to visit a market near you. You can often take the console with you or pre-order it. To save time, call the staff ahead of time to check if the PS5 is in stock.

With the dealers GameStop and Expert, it is currently worth visiting branches near you if you want to buy a PS5. The past few weeks have shown that Sony’s deliveries here have often been sold directly in the markets. There has been no online sale there in recent weeks.

Just stop by the nearest branch and speak to the staff. Alternatively, you can call the market beforehand. With Expert you can also be put on a waiting list.

Better chances with small traders?

After the PS5 was sold in large numbers at the large dealers, the smaller providers are always interesting. From time to time there is a small drop in the game grotto. Euronics is also considered a hot candidate.

More hot drop candidates

The big wave of PS5 sales in recent weeks was also noticeable on platforms such as eBay and the Amazon Marketplace. The offer is currently higher than it has been for a long time. Thus, resellers are forced to lower their prices. However, we advise caution when buying a console this way. Be sure to check the sellers.

One reason for the shortage of consoles has now become known: Sony delivered fewer PS5s in the first quarter of the year than ever before. You can find out why in the linked article.

Console permanently available from E for SIMPLE

If you really want a PS5 and would like to change your electricity or gas provider anyway, you can get the console from E for SIMPLE. There you will receive it as a bonus for a new contract. There are only 249 dollars as an additional payment. In addition to the console, you also get PS Plus for a year and the game Horizon Forbidden West.

Can it also be a different console? If you sign up for a mobile phone contract with O2, you will receive an Xbox Series S with 512 gigabytes of storage space. The price depends on the plan you choose. On average, however, you pay around 30 dollars per month.

Console fare offers consoles

Another way to buy a PS5 directly is console fare. The retailer has the PS5 on offer, but at 999.99 dollars it calls a price that could also come from a scalper on eBay. It is the disc version and the console is sold and shipped by the shop itself.

Used PS5 from AsGoodAsNew and ReBuy

If a used PS5 is enough for you, you can buy the console from ReBuy. However, the prices there are currently rather unreasonable. Depending on the optical condition, you pay 739 dollars to 799 dollars for the disc version and 719 dollars to 789 dollars for the digital edition. New consoles are currently cheaper on eBay.

AsGoodAsNew also offers you used consoles in good condition again and again. However, the prices are also quite high at this dealer. Currently available offers start at 699 dollars.
