11:30 am: FIFA 23 was released last week and on the occasion of the well-known release you could get hold of the PS5 including the new sports game from many retailers. Many fans are now speculating on Twitter that a similar situation could arise at the end of October.

The reason for this is the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on October 28, 2022. Then the sequel to the reboot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) should come onto the market.

Since the Call of Duty series is as popular with players as the FIFA series, many fans are expecting a PS5 bundle with the shooter game to be released with the release of the new Call of Duty title. And just like now with FIFA 23, such a bundle could then be offered by various retailers at the end of October.

So our tip: Keep an eye on the big retailers like Otto, Amazon, Media Markt and Saturn around October 28th. If such a bundle is sold at the start, then most likely from October 24th via pre-order or at the latest from the release day.

10:50 am: In a tea shop, you wouldn’t exactly expect a cheap offer for the PS5, which is out of stock almost everywhere. It is all the more surprising that the tea dealer MyBioTea is currently selling the PS5 (Digital Edition) in a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West for 559.99 dollars.

MyBioTea has offered this bundle several times in the past. Considering the recent price increase of the PS5, the price is quite cheap, especially compared to many offers from resellers such as eBay and other selling platforms.

Keep in mind that the MyBioTea offer will only be sent to you from October/November 2022. So you may have to wait a few weeks for your console after purchase. At the time of this announcement, two copies are still available. If they are sold out, you can still pre-order the bundle. However, shipping could then be pushed back even further.

10:20 am: Several indications currently indicate that there will soon be a PS5 sale at Otto. It’s all about the bundle with the console and the recently released sports game FIFA 23. By the way, you can get a detailed impression of the game in our FIFA 23 test.

9:55 am: At Amazon you can currently register for a bundle of the PS5 console (Disc Edition) and Horizon Forbidden West. After a while, Amazon will send you an email with a link you can use to buy the bundle. So it’s a hassle-free way to pre-order.

9:10 am: It may also be worth taking a look at the Media Markt and Saturn online shops at the moment. Even if both dealers usually bring new offers online towards the end of the month, they have surprisingly dropped quite a few times at the beginning of the month.

8:38 am: October is here and after yesterday’s bank holiday, chances are there will be more PS5 deals today. After Müller, Euronics and Amazon posted new offers in the last few days, other retailers could follow suit today.

We recommend that you keep an eye on Otto and myToys in particular. In the past, both shops have often provided new bundles at the beginning of the month.

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.

With the dealers GameStop and Expert, it is currently worth visiting branches near you if you want to buy a PS5. The past few weeks have shown that Sony’s deliveries here have often been sold directly in the markets. There has been no online sale there in recent weeks.

Just stop by the nearest branch and speak to the staff. Alternatively, you can call the market beforehand. With Expert you can also be put on a waiting list.

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.

More hot drop candidates

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. There are only 249 dollars as an additional payment. In addition to the console, you also get PS Plus for a year and the game Horizon Forbidden West.

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 dollars per month.

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 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 dollars to 799 dollars for the disc version and 719 dollars to 789 dollars 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 dollars.
