In May you had several chances to purchase a PS5. And yesterday, at the beginning of the month, you were able to strike at two retailers: Amazon and Otto. How is the situation today, June 2nd? Will there be more offers? We check the situation for you.

The situation on June 2nd
11:30: At midnight today, Sony is hosting a new State of Play. The show will be streamed live on the internet and will provide you with information about upcoming PS4 and PS5 games. Even for those who do not yet have a PlayStation 5, the presentation could be quite interesting.
Danger! O2 offers one of the few permanently available solutions to get a PS5. There you get the PS5 in a bundle with a mobile phone tariff.
Here you can find all PS5 tariff bundles at O2 (display).
Because Sony may show new bundles for the coveted console in the show, which could be on sale this year. The current bundles usually only include the games Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7 or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Sony could use the show as an opportunity to present PS5 bundles with upcoming game highlights. Some examples we have come up with:
- PS5 bundle with Saints Row (game will be released in August 2022)
- PS5 Bundle with Hogwarts Legacy (Game Release Late 2022)
- PS5 Bundle with God of War: Ragnarok (Release sometime in 2022)
Especially the chances of a God of War: Ragnarok bundle are good since it is one of Sony’s upcoming blockbuster titles. Of course, the suggestions we made are just ideas, Sony has not yet officially announced any new bundles. But if there should be an announcement tonight, you will find out about it here in our ticker first thing in the morning.
10:00: Aside from the big shops like Amazon or Otto, you should now keep an eye on Cyberport when looking for a PS5. Why? In the past, there was usually a new batch of PS5 consoles for sale in the technology shop at the beginning of the month.
Most recently, there were surprisingly new offers on May 6th. It is quite possible that something like this will happen again in the first week of June. That’s not guaranteed, after all there were months when Cyberport didn’t sell any PS5s at all. Given the availability of the console, which has been increasing for a few months, the chances are good.
9:02: Be careful when looking for PS5 deals online today and for the next few days. The website “schmerbeck-versand.de” currently offers several models of the console at a low price of around 400 euros, but this is a fraudulent offer.
As the website “onlinewarningen.com” reports, you are dealing with a fake shop. Goods ordered in the shop are not delivered to the buyer. So you will be boldly ripped off.
7:50: Yesterday there were two big drops in particular, one at Amazon and one at Otto. As always, it didn’t take long for the consoles to sell out. Accordingly, offers there for today are quite unlikely, with other dealers the signs are much better.
In the past few months, it was mainly Media Markt and Saturn that surprised with new sales campaigns on Thursday. Is the next one coming today? Well possible, because there have been rumors for some time that the two dealers are again organizing a new pre-order campaign like the one in April. In addition, the PS5 console offers can be seen at both retailers with the note “available again soon”.

MediMax could also sell the PS5 again today. The dealer has been overdue for many weeks when it comes to new offers. With a bit of luck, a smaller shop will surprise you with a sale. With these, the consoles are usually sold out in a flash.

Even more chances of a PS5
Amazon is currently also luring with a competition on Instagram. Amazon Prime Video is giving away five consoles bundled with the game Horizon Forbidden West. You can participate until June 11th. You can find out what you have to do for this in the following post.
You should also keep an eye on Medimax if you are aiming for a PS5. The last drop at the retailer was over two months ago. So it’s not unlikely that he could be replenished at any time.
Anyone who already owns a PlayStation 5 or wants to complete their PS4 collection should take advantage of the Days of Play offers now. You can find more information about the campaign on Sony’s official website.

Participating providers include Amazon, Saturn, Media Markt, GameStop, Expert, Otto and Müller. If you still need controllers, games or accessories, you should hurry. Because the offers apply only until June 8th and while stocks last.
Prepare for future Amazon sales
by the way: So that you can strike directly at Amazon in the event of an emergency, you should have completed a Prime membership in advance. Because the PS5 deals from the mail order company are often exclusively available to Prime customers. A trial membership is sufficient.
Even with Medimax, there could soon be a PS5 drop. The retailer has not been able to offer any consoles for two months.

After the PS5 was sold in large numbers at the large dealers, the smaller providers are always interesting. At the end of last week there was already a small drop in the game grotto. Euronics is also considered a hot candidate towards the end of the month.

The PS5 manufacturer Sony also sells the PS5. You have the chance to buy a console in exclusive sales via PlayStation Direct. Although the actions in recent weeks have been anything but smooth, they have taken place exceptionally often.

So the next exclusive sale could be just around the corner. So register quickly.
More hot drop candidates on June 1st
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 299 euros as an additional payment. In addition to the console, you also get PS Plus for a year and the game Horizon Forbidden West.

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.
