Buy or pre-order PS5: The current situation

4/27/22 3:45 p.m Short PS5 hope at Otto. Because Twitter bots have briefly displayed replenishment at the Hamburg mail order company. Unfortunately only a false alarm, but something seems to be moving on the overview page of the online shop. We keep our eyes open.

4/27/22 3:00 p.m If you are looking for a PS5, you will quickly find yourself looking on Ebay, where so-called scalpers sell their “excess” consoles for a lot of money. In the worst case, you can fall for fraudulent offers. However, this does not have to be the case, because at ReBuy or AsGoodAsNew you can even buy used goods from reputable dealers with a guarantee.

4/27/22 1:00 p.m After two major drops, calm is returning to the PS5 market. Now may be the best time to register for PlayStation 5 sweepstakes and maximize your chances of success. A raffle by Sony is currently rewarding the most creative cosplayers. Anyone who slips into the role of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West can win fan packages.

04/27/22 10:35 am Euronics provides the console now in the game bundle! The queues are live and all you have to do is solve a little math to get in the queue. If it didn’t work out at Amazon, you might have better chances here!

4/27/22 9:46 am Amazon Germany is now also starting to sell the PS5. You can currently get the Digital Edition for EUR 399.99. If you see the console as unavailable, stay tuned and refresh the page. Apparently, Amazon is only gradually activating the contingent.

A notice: Amazon France is currently showing that the PS5 will no longer be delivered to Germany. This can change again with the next “drop”. So just keep trying.

4/27/22 9:20 am Good news for our friends in the UK! Has been running for a few minutes Amazon UK a new drop. Customers can currently buy the disc edition there at the normal price of £449.99, around EUR 532, and the Digital-Edition for 359.99 pounds, around 426 dollars. Will Amazon Germany soon follow suit? We’re keeping an eye on the situation.

8:30 am: Wednesday is already off to a promising start. After the first signs of a drop in France attracted attention yesterday, Amazon Germany also seems to have received consoles. The reason for the assumption is the notorious “Prime hint” and has already indicated imminent availability in the past. It shows up in the PS5 Disc Edition bundle with Ratchet & Clank, for example, but also in the regular digital version.

Yesterday, hints from French Twitter users had already given hope that Amazon France could make new PS5 consoles available for purchase today. The sale should take place between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. in the online shop. As in the German offer only for Amazon Prime users.

If you don’t already have a membership, you can Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days. If you want to order the console from Amazon France, think about what you have to consider when buying a PS5 abroad.

Even if Amazon is only providing new PlayStation 5 consoles for French users for the time be ing, it is quite possible that the German online shop will follow suit soon. In any case, you should keep an eye on Amazon Germany on April 27th.

Apparently, new PS5 bundles have been spotted on Otto’s website. Although these were only seen for a short time, they indicate that these bundles could go on regular sale in the near future. Maybe today.

The bundle seen is a package with the PS5 console for 649 dollars including the games Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring.

Other hot April 27 contenders to keep an eye on:

Euronics: Several hints over the past few days suggest that a batch of new consoles will be available soon.

myToys: After a long time, there were two short drops again today. Maybe those aren’t the only ones.
Amazon: According to reports, a sale will start tomorrow between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. on Amazon France exclusively for Prime customers. A comparable campaign could follow for Amazon Germany.

If there is a drop at one of the retailers, you will, as always, find out promptly here on Netzwelt. By the way: Tomorrow we will of course provide you with all the important information about buying the PS5 at this point.

Where could more PS5 consoles be sold?

Keep an eye on Otto this week as well. The dealer has still not been supplied with consoles after more than two months. So it’s only a matter of time before you can buy the PS5 there. Amazon is also considered a hot tip this week.

After Media Markt and Saturn offered the PS5 in the branches in the last few weeks, a drop on the websites of the two providers could now be imminent.

Euronics has been a reliable go-to for the PS5 over the past year. This year, however, the dealer only offers the console sporadically. It’s been a while since the last big drop. The chances are therefore good that a delivery will be made here again soon.

Pre-order campaigns at Media Markt and Saturn

The PS5 is always available at Media Markt and Saturn. That’s why you should keep an eye on the dealers. Not only could there be a drop, there is also a chance that unclaimed consoles or canceled pre-orders will be put back on sale.

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

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. Just because it’s refurbished doesn’t mean you can expect low prices. Depending on the optical condition, you pay prices from 739 dollars to 799 dollars for the disc version and 719 dollars to 789 dollars for the digital edition.

Also at AsGoodAsNew you will always find used consoles in good condition. 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 the version you would like to buy. This way you will be informed immediately of new availability.
