Sony is launching the PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim in November, with pre-orders already available. A promotional offer allows PlayStation Plus members to receive a free Netflix Premium subscription with selected PlayStation purchases until October 31. GameStop is offering significant discounts on the PS5 Pro for trade-ins. Meanwhile, various retailers, including eBay and local stores like Media Markt, have competitive pricing for the PS5. Additional savings can be found through second-hand purchases and bundles with tariffs.
Sony is set to launch an upgraded version of its PlayStation 5 console, the PS5 Pro, this November. Along with the highly anticipated PS5 Slim, it’s essential to secure your pre-order for the PS5 Pro early to ensure you don’t miss out. Additionally, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of significant savings on the PS5 Slim during this busy launch period.
Latest PS5 Updates as of October 23
Special Sony and Netflix Offer: A popular promotion is back! Purchase a selected PlayStation product from the PlayStation Direct store and receive a complimentary Netflix Premium subscription valued at nearly €240. This offer runs until October 31 and is exclusive to PlayStation Plus members.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, you can claim your free Netflix subscription when you buy either a PlayStation Slim console (with or without an additional controller) or a PlayStation VR2 bundle. This promotion also now includes refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles, as stated on Sony’s official website. Prices for these products range from €459 to €650.
To participate, simply log in to your PSN account on the PlayStation website before adding the desired item to your cart. After your purchase, expect an email within one to two business days with details to redeem your 12-month Netflix Premium subscription. Note that this offer is valid only until October 31, 2024, and is subject to stock availability.
PS5 Pro Trade-In Deal: Pre-orders for the PS5 Pro have opened with major retailers, starting at €799, but GameStop is providing a fantastic deal. They are offering considerable discounts for those who trade in their old PS5 consoles.
At GameStop, when you trade in a PS5 or PS5 console (with or without a drive), you can receive a discount of up to €350 on the new PS5 Pro. This trade-in option is available for various console versions.
For the best savings, consider trading in a PS5 Slim with a drive. GameStop indicates that you may need to pay a portion of the new console’s price upfront to take advantage of this offer. The final discount depends also on the condition of your traded console, so ensure yours is in good shape with all necessary accessories included. Additionally, note that only one console may be traded in per person.
If you’re looking to upgrade from your old PS5 to the PS5 Pro, this is an excellent opportunity to secure the best price available. You can pick up your new PS5 Pro starting November 7, which is the official launch date.
eBay Bargains: For a limited time, great deals on the PlayStation 5 are also available through eBay. The slim model with a drive is listed at €479 by the seller ‘sbdirect24,’ who maintains a 95% positive feedback rating. This seller has consistently provided competitive prices in the past.
If that listing sells out, Netto is also offering the console for €489, significantly lower than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of €549.99.
Get the PS5 Pro Anniversary Edition: The PS5 Pro’s presales kicked off successfully at the PlayStation Direct Shop in September, and the Anniversary version has already sold out quickly. To celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, this variant and others feature a stylish retro design. There might still be a chance to secure one if you’re lucky.
Be cautious with purchases from third-party sellers outside of PlayStation Direct, as many are scalpers demanding exorbitant prices. Instead, consider pre-ordering the PS5 Pro from reputable sellers like Otto, Amazon, Coolblue, Media Markt, and Saturn.
Affordable Reseller Options
After initial shortages, Sony’s PS5 is now widely available across Germany. Should a retailer run out of stock, you typically won’t have to wait long for replenishments. Therefore, it’s wise to avoid paying over the recommended retail prices of €499 (PS5 and PS5 Slim without drive) or €549 (PS5 and PS5 Slim with drive).
If you’re open to saving a bit more, check out used PS5 consoles available on platforms like eBay, asgoodasnew, or ReBuy. Many of these are priced €100 to €150 lower than new models but are in excellent condition.
PS5 Bundled with Tariff Packages
Through Sparhandy, you can purchase a PS5 alongside a selected tariff plan. With six packages available
