The situation on May 9th:

07:43 am: Last week there were signs of an upcoming PS5 sale from some retailers. The main focus is on Amazon. There was already a drop there last Wednesday. Since the retailer hasn’t offered the console in the Disk Edition in the recent past, it’s speculated that Amazon still has the PS5 in stock. Another sale is expected as early as this Wednesday. Also, keep an eye out for the infamous Prime alert, which usually reveals upcoming sales on Amazon.

If you are on the waiting list at an Expert branch, you also have a good chance of finally getting your hands on the console. Last week, a market in Verden was supplied with the PS5. There was no open sale because the consoles only went to customers who had already reserved them.

At the beginning of the month, retailers such as Otto, Media Markt and Saturn are again hot contenders for an upcoming PS5 drop.

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?

May brings new opportunities. Even though the big retailers have been selling the PS5 en masse, they’re hot contenders again this month. However, relatively small retailers such as Medimax, Expert and Cyberport have not been supplied for a long time, which is why you should keep an eye on their websites and branches.

Pre-order campaigns at Media Markt and Saturn

At Saturn and Media Markt there were recently signs of a PS5 sale. In the retailer’s online shop, the note “This item will be available again soon” can be seen next to the PS5. In addition, there was a pre-order campaign in some Media Markt branches in Austria last week. In the past, these were indicators 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.

The PS5 manufacturer Sony also sells the PS5. In exclusive PlayStation Direct sales you have the chance to buy a console. Although the actions in recent weeks have been anything but smooth, they have taken place exceptionally often. So the next exclusive sale 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.

Additional chances via sweepstakes

You also currently have the chance to get hold of a PS5 via competitions. Amazon Prime Video is giving away five PS5 bundles with Horizon Forbidden West on its own Instagram channel.
