You can still buy the PS5 from some retailers, but today’s wave of sales is slowly ebbing away. We reveal where you can still make good deals shortly before the gates close.
The last third of the year represents the most important sales phase for the PS5. Not only is Black Friday approaching, but the game releases are also increasing. For example, the new Sony game God of War Ragnarök was recently released and a few console bundles will certainly be offered with it in the next few days. Our PS5 insider reveals which retailers you should keep an eye on today.

Ticker on November 10th
12:00 o’clock: After Conrad, among others, offered several hundred PS5 consoles this morning, the situation no longer looks so rosy. At the time of this report, for example, only a handful of devices were still available from the dealer in question. Where can you get an alternative console now?
Among others, O2, Saturn and Media Markt currently have devices in stock, but only in combination with a mobile phone tariff – so you pay monthly. At O2 you even get a new mobile phone as a gift. Below we have linked the corresponding offers with all information again.

10:30 am: EA is currently running a PS5 competition where you can win the console together with FIFA 23. In the linked article you will find all the important information about the competition. The closing date for entries is November 19th.
As far as the offers from the dealers are concerned, you shouldn’t hesitate for too long. Some of the contingents are already running out and who knows when the next cheap offers will follow.
9:45 o clock: Today one PS5 offer chases the next. The mobile phone provider O2 is also currently enticing with a PS5 deal in which you get the console in the standard edition together with the Sony Xperia 1 IV.
There are three tariffs to choose from for this offer. One of them is the O2 Free M tariff with 20 gigabytes of high-speed data volume, 5G and an all-network flat rate. With O2 Grow, you have 40 gigabytes of high-speed data volume at your disposal. 10 gigabytes are also added every year. With the third and last tariff, O2 Free Unlimited Smart, you have unlimited data volume. The tariff term is 24 months for all contracts, but can be extended to 36 months.

Basically, you pay the one-off price for the console (1 euro), one-time connection fees (39.99 euros), shipping costs (4.99 euros) and, depending on the term and tariff, between 59.99 euros and just under 100 euros per month. You can find more information in the description of the offer linked above.
9:30 am: In the past few days, many retailers have been selling the PS5. Some buyers have certainly grabbed several copies from different suppliers just to be on the safe side in case a retailer surprisingly cancels. The “problem”: You may end up getting more than one console.
And it is precisely these surplus consoles that will end up on reseller platforms such as ReBuy and AsGoodAsNew as well as auction platforms such as eBay in the coming days. So now is the best time to browse the latest PS5 deals there. The consoles offered there are often still in their original packaging and are only slightly above the original price.

But beware: Scalpers (professional buyers) have also struck hard in the last few days and some of them like to sell the PlayStation 5 at an absurdly overpriced price. So take a close look at the content of the offers and weigh up whether it is a decent deal in the end.
09:00 a.m: Conrad is also currently offering the PS5. There you can get the console in the Standard Edition including the games FIFA 23 and Gran Turismo 7 for 888 euros. As can be read on the Internet, you can dust off the bundle with the code “PS5DEAL” even a little cheaper. This reduces the price to 800 euros. The offer is still not exceptionally cheap, but given the games it contains, it’s okay.

Be quick, because there are only a little more than 150 consoles left at the moment. The offer will most likely be sold out before noon.
8:38 a.m: Media Markt and Saturn now have the PlayStation 5 in stock again. This is an unusually cheap offer for only one euro. You get the device in a bundle with a Magenta Mobil M tariff. Instead of paying once, you pay monthly with this package. These monthly costs are added to the device price of one euro.

In addition to the PS5 in the Standard Edition, you get the Magenta Mobil M 5G tariff here. This is how you surf the net with 5G. Included are flat telephony and SMS in all German networks, up to 300 Mbit/s bandwidth and 50 euros exchange bonus (send an SMS with “Bonus” to 22234).
Important: Even if you only pay one euro for this offer, the monthly costs for the tariff are of course added. These amount to EUR 39.99 with a minimum term of 24 months. From the 25th month, the price increases to 54.96. At least for the first 24 months, the offer is a good deal. If you calculate the PS5 here, you still pay around 400 euros or around 16 euros per month for the two-year tariff.
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.

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 euros 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 euros 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 euros 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 euros to 799 euros for the disc version and 719 euros to 789 euros 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 euros.

Buy PS5 in Switzerland or Austria
The situations in Austria and Switzerland are comparable to Germany: the console is sold out very quickly, both online and offline. You also have the best chances there in the relevant online shops.
Buy PS5 on Amazon Spain, Italy, France or UK
Of course you can also look across national borders to see if you want to buy a PS5 abroad. If you want to do that focus on Amazon and only buy consoles that are sold and shipped by Amazon.
