Buy or pre-order PS5: The situation on May 3rd
7:35 am: Since April was used by all major retailers to sell the PS5. Let’s currently turn our attention to smaller retailers such as Expert and Cyberport and Medimax. The latter has not been supplied with the console for a long time. So it’s only a matter of time before the retailer offers the PS5.
Despite last week’s big sell-off, PlayStation Direct and Amazon remain interesting. Amazon only offered the digital version of the console when it was last sold. Since Wednesday is the classic drop day for Amazon, the disc version of the PS5 could be sold tomorrow.

While PlayStation Direct sales have been far from smooth over the last few weeks, they have been exceptionally frequent. So the next exclusive sale from Sony itself could be just around the corner. So register quickly.

Pre-order campaigns at Media Markt and Saturn
The PS5 was only recently sold online at Media Markt and Saturn. But it can’t hurt to drop by a branch. Again and again buyers report to have seen a console in stores. There is also a chance that unclaimed consoles or canceled pre-orders will be put back on sale.

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. 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.

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. You can win a console at Freeletics if you take part in the 30-day challenge and get as fit as Aloy.
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.
