PS5 with all-net flat rate: If you can’t afford around 550 euros for a PS5 Slim all at once, O2 now has a good offer for you.

With this offer you pay 29.99 euros per month in addition to a one-time device price and shipping costs.

With this offer, O2 will now become your mobile phone provider. The collective agreement is initially designed for 36 months, for which you pay the 25 euro monthly fee mentioned.
From the 37th month onwards, the console is paid off and you only pay the basic fee for the tariff. In addition, there is a one-off device price of one euro and shipping of 4.99 euros. The connection fee is waived.
When you look at the scope of the Allnet fold, it’s certainly not an outstanding deal, but it’s a solid deal. With the flat rate you can make calls and surf the O2 network with 25 GB 4G LTE/5G. An additional 5 gigabytes are added annually.
Special controller available from Sony: Sony wants to enable barrier-free gaming with the new Access Controller. This is an adaptable controller kit that people can use regardless of their physical conditions. The aim is to offer disabled gamers an unrestricted gaming experience.
The controller can be operated in any orientation and has interchangeable buttons and sticks. It’s easy to place and use on any flat surface and even offers individual control profiles to adjust the layout depending on what’s happening in the game. You can pre-order the Access Controller now in the official PlayStation Direct shop, Amazon, Saturn and Media Markt.

With a bit of luck: Find cheap offers on eBay and Rebuy
The Sony console is currently available in many online shops and various electronics stores. If the PS5 is not available at individual retailers, you usually only have to wait a few days until supplies are available again. Due to the now high availability, you should no longer resort to overpriced offers. Often enough, dealers sell the console at the normal price or even a little cheaper.
Alternatively, you can sometimes get the PS5 from resellers like ReBuy or eBay. Even though the price set by Sony for bundles with games like God of War Ragnarök or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is 612 euros, the consoles may cost more from resellers. It’s worth comparing the prices of the offers here.

Sales opportunities with local dealers
Don’t you want to buy the console online, but instead in a store? Then stop by Media Markt, Saturn. It might be worth it for you to visit a market near you. You can often take the console with you. To be on the safe side, call the staff in advance to find out whether the PS5 is in stock.

Cheap offer for the Xbox Series S
Can it be another console? If you sign a cell phone contract with O2, you will receive an Xbox Series S with 512 gigabytes of storage space. The price depends on the tariff you choose. On average, however, you pay around 30 euros per month.
If you actually just want the console, we advise you not to make a contract offer, because as you can see from our Xbox Series X/S buying guide, the Series S is already available individually at good prices. It is also permanently available.

Used PS5 from AsGoodAsNew and ReBuy
If a used PS5 is enough for you, you can buy the console at ReBuy. However, you should pay attention to the prices here. Under no circumstances should you spend more than 700 euros on used models, even if they are still in very good condition. After all, you can currently get the console new and in its original packaging for prices between 600 and 650 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 beyond 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.
