Are you looking for a new mobile phone contract in addition to the PS5? Then you should stop by Media Markt and Saturn. The dealers offer the console as a disk version bundled with the games God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West and a mobile phone contract. You can choose between six tariffs. You can find all further information about the offer in our article on the tariff bundles at Media Markt and Saturn.

O2 also offers the PS5 together with a mobile phone contract. If you are looking for a new energy provider instead of a mobile phone contract, the offer from E wie SIMPLIFIED could be something for you. There you get the console as a premium for the electricity contract.

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.

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.

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. Instead of 399 dollars, there are now 199 dollars as an additional payment. In addition to the console, you also get two DualSense controllers

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.

If you want this console, however, we advise against a contract offer, because as you can see from our Xbox Series X/S purchase guide, the Series S is already available individually at good prices. In addition, it is permanently available.

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.
