Sony is launching the PS5 Pro in November, alongside significant discounts on the PS5 Slim. Pre-orders are underway, and Media Markt is offering VAT-free prices for the Slim version.

In November, Sony is set to unveil the PS5 Pro alongside the PS5 Slim, marking the arrival of a premium console version. With pre-orders already generating excitement, it’s advisable to secure your PS5 Pro at the earliest opportunity. Additionally, you can take advantage of enticing discounts on the PS5 Slim during this promotional period.
PS5 Update as of October 24
VAT Offer at Media Markt: If you’re looking to buy the PS5 Slim without any bundles, Media Markt is the optimal choice right now. The retailer is currently eliminating VAT, which translates to a 19% discount on many products, including the popular Sony console. You can purchase the PS5 Slim Digital Edition for €377.31 and the disc version for €461.35.
For those with the MediaMarkt app, the discount offers will be available starting October 24 at 7:00 AM. Those without the app can access the deals by 8:00 PM the same day. The promotion concludes on October 28 at 7:00 AM.
Sony’s Netflix Offer: Following its initial success, Sony is once again offering select PlayStation products through the PlayStation Direct store, which includes a complimentary Netflix Premium subscription valued at nearly €240. This promotion is exclusive to PlayStation Plus members and runs until October 31.
If you possess a PS Plus membership, you can receive the Netflix subscription with the purchase of either a PlayStation Slim console (with or without an extra controller) or a PlayStation VR2 set. For this round, refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles also qualify, with prices ranging from €459 to €650.
To claim this deal, log in to your PSN account on the PlayStation website, add your chosen Sony product to your cart, and you’ll receive an email within one to two business days post-purchase containing your 12-month Netflix Premium subscription details. This offer is valid until October 31, 2024, or while supplies last.
Current Trade-In Offer for the PS5 Pro: Pre-orders for the PS5 Pro are now live at various major retailers, including Sony, starting at €799. However, GameStop is offering substantial savings for those who trade in their old PS5 console.
With GameStop’s trade-in promotion, when you exchange your PS5 or a PS5 console—whether it includes a drive or not—you can receive up to €350 off the new PS5 Pro based on the version you trade in. The promotion allows you to secure your console just in time for its release.
Trading in a PS5 Slim with a drive offers the highest savings. While you will need to pay a portion of the purchase price upfront, the discount you receive will be influenced by the condition of the console. Ensure your device is in good condition, with all accessories included, as only one console can be traded per individual.
If you’re considering an upgrade to the PS5 Pro, GameStop currently presents the best deal, making it an ideal opportunity for pre-ordering. The PS5 Pro will be available for pickup starting on November 7, the official launch date.
Great Deals on eBay: On eBay, you can find the PlayStation 5 at competitive prices once again. Currently, the PS5 Slim with a drive is listed for €479. The seller, ‘sbdirect24’, has a solid reputation with around 95% positive feedback and has previously offered the PS5 at excellent prices.
If that listing goes out of stock, Netto is also offering the console for €489, which remains a good bargain compared to the standard price of €549.99.
PS5 Pro (Anniversary Edition): Pre-orders for the PS5 Pro launched successfully at PlayStation Direct in September, with the Anniversary Edition selling out rapidly. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, this stylish retro version is designed to commemorate the milestone.
Out of PlayStation Direct, more offers are surfacing on eBay and other platforms. However, exercise caution against purchasing from scalpers, as they tend to price items excessively high.
Instead, check out retailers like Otto, Amazon, Coolblue, Media Markt, and Saturn for PS5 Pro pre-orders.
