It’s been a very interesting week for PS5 fans. Several dealers have sold consoles again, today alone there were two shops.
The summer lull is making itself felt in many online stores when it comes to buying a PS5. But today there were several sales.

11:55 am: On July 19, Medimax had finally sold consoles again, and on the morning of July 20, Müller and then Amazon followed very briefly in several countries, including Germany. All devices are now sold out, but maybe you should check the following links again to be on the safe side:

At Media Markt and Saturn there should also be a big new pre-order campaign today, as it was last carried out in April. In all likelihood, it will again take place locally, so you will have to drive to a branch near you to take advantage of the offer.

With the pre-order campaign, you should be able to buy the bundle with a PS5 Standard Edition, Horizon Forbidden West (code) and Gran Turismo 7 for €640. You have to pay a deposit of 100€ in advance, the collection should take place this month. Information about this pre-order campaign has not yet come from an unconfirmed source. As soon as this information is confirmed, we will let you know here in the ticker.
Opportunities at two dealers (local)
With retailers like 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 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.
Two other important contact points are Media Markt and Saturn. Although both markets have not held online sales for a month, the console is sold locally in many branches. With a bit of luck, the electronics store near you will still have some in stock. Again, we recommend calling ahead and asking.
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 at the turn of the month.

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.
