The cheapest PS5 offer currently: We did a price comparison for you and found out where you can currently get a PS5 cheapest. The shipping giant Amazon has the best offer. There you can get the new PS5 Slim Digital Edition for 449.99 euros. This corresponds to the RRP of the old PS5 Digital Edition before Sony increased the prices in 2022.

You can’t get a PlayStation 5 cheaper than Amazon at the moment, at least online. Please note that the Digital Edition is the console version without a disc drive. You can only download and play digital games on it or you have to buy a separately available drive.
PS5 Slim bundle with popular game: Gamers are particularly fond of an exclusive game for the PS5 this year: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. You can now get the wall crawler’s latest adventure together with the PS5 Slim Disk Edition from Otto and save 30 euros when you buy it.

The game and console would normally cost around 620 to 630 euros separately. The game is included as a physical version.
New PS5 Slim bundle already reduced: At Otto you not only get the PS5 Slim together with the game “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora” in a bundle, but you also save money when you buy it. The online retailer has already reduced the new bundle, saving you around 40 euros.

Individually, the game and console would normally cost around 620 to 630 euros. Keep in mind that this bundle includes the (usually) more expensive PS5 variant with disc drive as well as a physical variant of the Ubisoft game in question.
New special controller from Sony available: 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.

Alternative: PS5 as a premium for a tariff
Sparhandy has a few offers for you where you can secure the PS5 together with your desired tariff. There are six tariff packages to choose from. The PS5 is always included, for which, depending on the tariff, there is no additional one-off device price of around 5 to 140 euros and a connection price of around 40 euros. You can access the offers via the following link:

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.

Better opportunities with small retailers?
Since the two large retailers still focus on online sales, it is even more likely that you will be able to buy or reserve the PS5 in store at smaller electronics stores. The same applies here: Call ahead and find out so that you don’t take the journey in vain.

More hot drop candidates
The high PS5 availability in recent months was also noticeable on platforms such as eBay and the Amazon Marketplace. The offer is currently larger than it has been for a long time. Resellers are therefore forced to lower their prices. We still advise caution if you buy a console this way. Be sure to check the sellers.

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.

asgoodasnew also always offers you used consoles in good condition. However, you should also take a close look at the price here.

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 from 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.
