The PlayStation 5 is available in two models: the PS5 Slim and the upcoming PS5 Pro, which can be pre-ordered now. Strong promotional offers exist for both versions, especially with the PS5 Slim seeing price drops. The best current Slim deal is on eBay, while GameStop offers significant trade-in discounts for the PS5 Pro. Additionally, users can find competitive prices at Cyberport, Netto, and local retailers like Media Markt and Saturn.
The PlayStation 5 is available in two models: the PS5 Slim and the PS5 Pro. While the latter isn’t physically on sale yet, you can already pre-order the PS5 Pro. There are some compelling deals for the PS5 Pro, and with its release approaching in November, the PS5 Slim is also being offered at lower prices.
PS5 Updates as of November 1
Best Slim Deal on eBay: If you’re looking to snag a PlayStation 5 at the best current price, head to eBay. MediaMarkt is selling a PS5 Slim without a disc drive for €449 through their official account. While this might not seem particularly cheap, there’s a way to further reduce the cost.
By entering the voucher code ‘PRESALE’ during checkout, the price drops to €404.10. This voucher code is valid until November 13, 2024.
Trade-In Promotion for the PS5 Pro: You can now pre-order the PS5 Pro from various retailers, including Sony, for €799 (without an additional disc drive). However, GameStop is offering a fantastic deal where they will significantly reduce the price if you trade in your old PS5 console.
Here’s how the trade-in promotion works at GameStop: You can trade in either a PS5 or a PS5 console, with or without a disc drive, and receive a discount of up to €350 on the new PS5 Pro, depending on the version you are trading in. The following console variants are eligible for trade-in:
You will save the most by trading in a PS5 Slim with a disc drive. To take advantage of this offer, you must make a partial payment of the purchase price upfront, according to GameStop. The discount will also depend on the condition of the console; naturally, it should be in good shape and include accessories like controllers and cables. Additionally, you can only trade in one console per person.
If you were planning to upgrade from your old PS5 to the new PS5 Pro anyway, GameStop currently has the best deal for you. You won’t find better savings on a PS5 Pro pre-order anywhere else. You can pick up your PlayStation 5 Pro starting November 7, the official release date of the console.
Affordable PlayStation at Cyberport: Cyberport’s online store is a hidden gem when it comes to great offers on the PlayStation 5. From time to time, the retailer offers substantial discounts on the console. Right now, you can get the PS5 Slim with a built-in disc drive for just €409.90, saving you €140 compared to the MSRP of €549.99.
The next best price comes from Galaxus, listed at €413.99, which is still a solid deal.
PS5 Deal at Discount Store: A good offer can also be found at Netto, which is selling the PS5 Slim console for €489. While this is still a decent price compared to the MSRP of €549.99, it’s a worthwhile option.
Secure the PS5 Pro (Anniversary Edition): The pre-sale for the PS5 Pro started successfully at the PlayStation Direct store in September. As expected, the Anniversary Edition sold out quickly. For PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, the console and other versions also come in a stylish retro design. With a bit of luck, you might still be able to grab a copy.
Aside from PlayStation Direct, offers are appearing more frequently on platforms like eBay and others. However, it’s strongly advised to avoid purchasing from these third-party sellers, as many are scalpers asking exorbitant prices.
Instead, check Otto, Amazon, Coolblue, MediaMarkt, and Saturn, where you can also pre-order the PS5 Pro starting now.
Even Better Deals from Resellers
After initial shortages, Sony’s console is now widely available throughout Germany. If a retailer is momentarily out of stock, you typically only need to wait a few days for it to return to shelves. Therefore, it’s best not to purchase offers that exceed the MSRP of €499 (for the PS5 and PS5 Slim without a disc drive) or €549 (for the PS5 and PS5 Slim with a disc drive).
With the offers mentioned earlier, you’re already on the right track, but you can save even more by buying a used PlayStation 5. Resellers like
