11:00 o’clock: If you’re looking for a new electricity provider, then the bundle from E for SIMPLE is a good choice. Here you can now get the console as a bonus for a new contract.
10:30 am: Something is happening at myToys. On the one hand you can now buy a PS5 with FIFA 23 in a bundle via the partner program there. However, this is quite expensive at around 949 dollars.

On the other hand, another regular bundle has also appeared at the retailer, which is sold by myToys itself at a regular retail price. It’s not available yet. So keep an eye on the shop now to be among the first in the digital queue.
9:10 am: In the past few weeks, registered PSN users have been able to order the consoles more frequently from PlayStation Direct. In the closed sale you can then get a PS5 directly from the manufacturer without any stress.
The prerequisite for this is an invitation, which is usually sent out in the afternoon or evening of the previous day. So it might be worth taking a look at your e-mail inbox. By the way: After a closed sale, there is often an open sale at Sony. So keep your eyes open and follow the link:

8:45 am: Are you currently not only looking for a new games console, but also a fresh mobile phone tariff with the latest mobile phone? Then you should stop by O2 now. Because here you have the Sony Xperia 1 IV with PS5 along with an O2 Free M contract.
8:00 a.m.: A new week has begun and the proverbial cards have been reshuffled. Where is Sony’s coveted next-gen console dropping first this week?
As always, Amazon is a prime candidate. The hoped-for Prime Day drop did not materialize last week. However, PS5 bundles are still listed on the site. So it could be that something could happen here in the next few days.

GameStop is also a hot candidate. The international chain for gamers made new contingents available in some countries last Thursday, and Germany could soon follow. After all, it’s been a while since the last sale at GameStop.

You should keep an eye on the large German chains Saturn and Media Markt, but also on the comparatively small German retailers Euronics and Cyberport. A drop is becoming more likely here with each passing day.

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.

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 Europe, Italy, France or UK
Of course you can also look across 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.
