Tipp: If you want your PS5 right away and don’t want to wait for your pre-order, then you should keep an eye on the delivery dates of the various retailers. In the case of Media Markt and Saturn, you can now and then buy bundles directly from your local retailers.

Alternatively, you can occasionally get the PS5 from resellers like ReBuy or eBay. Even if the price set by Sony for bundles with games like God of War Ragnarök or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is 612 dollars, the consoles from resellers may cost more. Here it is worthwhile to compare the prices of the offers.

Alternative: PS5 as a premium at a tariff

You can also get the PS5 in a bundle from Freenet. The bundle with the disk version of the console, two controllers and the Sony Xperia 10 IV has a total value of around 1,048 dollars.

With the offer you have the choice between tariffs from O2, Telefonica, Vodafone and Telekom. The minimum contract term for all tariffs is 24 months and a connection fee of EUR 39.99 is due in all cases.

Depending on the contract selected, the bundle can save one or two dollars compared to the individual price of hardware and tariff. The advantage of these offers lies in the fast shipping. Because you don’t have to wait until the end of January for your PS5.

You can get the PS5 directly and for just one euro in a bundle from Saturn and Media Markt. The “Magenta Mobil M 5G” mobile phone tariff includes 20 gigabytes of data volume with 5G and a flat rate for telephony and SMS in all German networks. If you switch, you can even get 50 dollars back with an SMS to 22234 with “Bonus”.

As already mentioned, there is a one-time device price of one euro for the PS5. The mobile phone tariff costs EUR 39.96 per month with a contract period of at least 24 months.

At Flymobile you are currently getting the PS5 as a bonus for a new mobile phone contract with Ay Yildiz. The Ay Allnet Max tariff gives you a telephone flat rate in all German mobile and landline networks as well as the Turkish landline network. 120 minutes are included for calls to the Turkish mobile network. In addition, there is 42 gigabytes of LTE data volume with up to 25 Mbit/s.

The asking price is EUR 49.98 per month for a minimum contract period of 24 months. This price remains the same after the 25th month. There is no connection price, you only have to pay 3.99 dollars for the console. The total costs amount to around 1,203 dollars if you add up the monthly costs.

Minus the console price of 699.90 dollars, you get monthly costs of around 21 dollars for the tariff alone. This is cheaper than the provider currently offers the same tariff on its own site – with only 30 gigabytes of data volume.

With every tariff you get a 24-month price guarantee. This also corresponds to the minimum term of the tariffs. Further details can be found in the offers themselves, which you open via the banner integrated above. On the Sparhandy page, click on the black button “View all tariffs” at the bottom.

Starmobile has a very special offer for anyone who still needs a PS5 and maybe a new smartphone. There you can get the console as a digital edition together with the Samsung Galaxy A13 in the Magenta Mobil M Young tariff. The only condition: You must be under 28 years of age to secure the offer.

At Starmobile to the PS5 offer*

You pay a one-time fee of 99.95 dollars and a connection fee of 39.95 dollars for the devices. The minimum contract period is 24 months. During this time, 39.95 dollars per month are due. From the 25th month, the discount increases to 49.95 dollars. In the tariff you get a monthly data volume of 30 gigabytes of LTE as well as a telephone and SMS flat rate in all German networks.

There’s a catch, though: to get the PS5, you’ll need to submit your initial vendor bill to Starmobile’s website or email it. Only then will you receive the console and no earlier than 35 days after activation. Don’t wait too long either, as the console expires 12 weeks after activation.

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, 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?

Since the two big retailers are still focusing on online sales, it’s even more likely that you’ll be able to buy or reserve the PS5 at smaller electronics stores. The same applies here: call in advance and find out more so that you don’t take the trip in vain.

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.

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 a 60 euro credit for the PlayStation Store.

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 only want the console, 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. Here, however, you should pay attention to the prices. Under no circumstances should you spend more than 700 dollars on used models, even if they are still in very good condition. After all, you can get the console new and in the original packaging at prices between 600 and 650 dollars.

At ReBuy buy the PS5*

AsGoodAsNew also offers you used consoles in good condition again and again. However, you should also take a close look at the price here.

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.
