Chats with emojis are also more fun than before on the PS5. We’ll tell you how to send emojis on the console.

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 dollars. 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.

PS VR2 im Horizon-Bundle: Do you already own the PS5 and have you already played most of the games for the console? Then the PS VR2 could perhaps bring a breath of fresh air. With the virtual reality glasses and the corresponding controllers, you can get right into the action and get a completely new feeling of playing. You can try this out directly in the exclusive game Horizon Call of the Mountain. Sony offers it in a package with the PS VR2.

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 dollars, 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 dollars 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 dollars 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 dollars.
