11:57 am: Are you still looking for PSN credit, then you should look at an offer at the game shop Eneba. This sells credit cards worth 100 euros for just under 85 euros. So you save up to 15 euros. However, the savings are somewhat lower if you use a payment method that incurs a service fee of just under 5 euros.

You can then use the credit to buy a wide variety of games or take out the PS Plus subscription, which will also give you some free games in January.
11:08 am: If you have already got hold of a PS5, then you can also buy the matching games cheaply. Media Markt is currently offering a “3 for 2” promotion where you buy three games but only pay for two. We have picked out a few game highlights that you can get cheaper with the offer.

10:01 am: If you want to buy the PS5 without a mobile plan but don’t feel like waiting until January 31, you can also buy the console from toy retailer MyToys. However, the price of just under 850 euros is quite high when you consider that no games or other accessories are included.

09:15 am: You can get the PS5 directly and for just one euro in a bundle from Saturn and Media Markt. Both retailers offer the PS5 as a disk version along with God of War Ragnarök and Horizon Forbidden West, if you are also interested in a mobile plan.
The “Magenta Mobil M 5G” mobile phone tariff includes 20 gigabytes of data volume with 5G and a flat rate for telephony and SMS in all German networks. If you switch, you can even get 50 euros back with an SMS to 22234 with “Bonus”.
As already mentioned, there is a one-time device price of one euro for the PS5. The mobile phone tariff costs EUR 39.96 per month with a contract period of at least 24 months.

If you don’t pre-order a PS5, but want to buy it directly, then you should keep a close eye on the delivery times of the various retailers.
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.

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. Instead of 399 euros, there are now 199 euros as an additional payment. In addition to the console, you also get a 60 euro credit for the PlayStation Store.

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.
If you want this console, however, we advise against a contract offer, because as you can see from our Xbox Series X/S purchase guide, the Series S is already available individually at good prices. In addition, it is permanently available.

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.
