Will Amazon finally offer the PS5 today? Hope is slowly fading, but the week is not over yet. These traders are worth checking out on May 6th.

The hoped-for PS5 drop at Amazon seems to be missing for the time being. But other dealers could sell it. We give you an overview of the current supply situation and show you where you have the chance of a PS5 on May 6th.

With the right tips and tricks, you can get hold of one of the coveted next-gen consoles. We will also show you which alternative providers and raffles you can still find what you are looking for.

The situation on May 6th:

08:03: A rumor recently made the rounds in forums and said that Expert should be dropping the PS5 in the online shop today. Specialists paid no attention to the claim, since the dealer extremely rarely offers the console online. Nevertheless, the server is currently overloaded at Expert, as many prefer to get an idea for themselves. So far, however, no PS5 has been spotted.

07:40 am: Despite many signs, the hoped-for sale of the PS5 in the Digital Edition did not happen on Amazon yesterday. Rumors continue to circulate on the internet that it could happen today. However, a drop next week Wednesday seems more and more likely. Although Amazon has also sold the PS5 on Fridays in the past, Wednesday is considered the retailer’s classic drop day.

Keep an eye out for the infamous Prime alert, which usually gives away upcoming sales on Amazon. Most recently we looked at a bundle with the game Horizon Forbidden West.

As before, all dealers became interesting again at the beginning of the month. In addition to Amazon, Otto, Media Markt and Saturn are again considered hot contenders for an upcoming sale.

The big wave of PS5 sales last week 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.

If a retailer has the PS5 back in stock during the course of the day, you will, as always, find out promptly here on Netzwelt in this article.

Where could more PS5 consoles be sold?

All major retailers sold the PS5 rapidly in April. Relatively small retailers such as Medimax, Expert and Cyberport may now follow. You should therefore keep an eye on the websites and branches.

Pre-order campaigns at Media Markt and Saturn

Saturn and Media Markt recently showed signs of another PS5 sale. Despite the big drop in the last week, the retailer’s online shop again shows the message “This item will be available again soon” next to the PS5. In the past, this was an indicator of an upcoming sale.

A visit to Otto and MyToys could also be worthwhile. Both dealers have PS5 sightings at irregular intervals and you should also keep an eye on the subsidiary Baur.

While PlayStation Direct sales have been far from smooth over the past few weeks, they’ve been happening exceptionally often. So the next exclusive sale from Sony itself could be just around the corner. So register quickly.

E as in Simply Continue the only safe candidate

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 dollars 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 dollars 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 you are also satisfied with a used PS5, you can buy the console from ReBuy. The prices are currently but rather an impertinence. Depending on the optical condition, you pay 739 dollars to 799 dollars for the disc version and 719 dollars to 789 dollars for the digital edition. New consoles on eBay are currently cheaper.

AsGoodAsNew also offers you used consoles in good condition again and again. There are currently no consoles in stock, but it’s still worth taking a look. If only because you can then activate the purchase alert for your preferred version. This way you will be informed immediately of new availability.
