Buy PS5: Order the console from Amazon, Otto and Sony
The time has finally come. You can now order the Playstation 5 from almost all well-known online retailers. For example, you can get them from Amazon (view here) and Otto (disc edition and digital edition) in a bundle with the hit game God of War: Ragnarök. Shipping costs of 5 euros are added everywhere, since the game is USK 18 and there must be an age rating.
If you don’t want to play God of War: Ragnarök (but you should, trust us), you can now even do so directly from Sony order a PS5 without a game (watch at Sony).

- Total costs after 24 months: 944.51 euros
According to idealo.de, the PlayStation 5 Disc Edition currently costs at least 619 euros RRP and a second controller at least 61 euros. If these values are now subtracted from the total cost of 944.51 euros (after 24 months) for the tariff, 264.51 euros remain.

Buy PS5 on the gray market – on eBay
A big problem regarding the availability of the PS5 lies with the so-called scalpers. These are bots that continuously scan shop pages and purchase consoles as they become available. The bot operators want to continue buying consoles on trading platforms like eBay thanks to the artificial scarcity at a profit. Of course, while the method may seem morally questionable, buying the console at a premium on eBay is an option. However, we recommend that you study the offers carefully for the seriousness of the dealer, the origin of the hardware, the guarantee/warranty and the delivery date.
The eBay prices provide an indirect impression of the relationship between supply and demand. We monitor the eBay prices closely, several times a week we determine the best price from reputable eBay dealers for consoles with the condition “new” and the “Buy It Now” option that can be delivered from Germany. From this it can be deduced how far away the PlayStation 5 is from being widely available. Unfortunately, scalping seems to continue to pay off.
PlayStation 5 availability: The current situation
Although the PlayStation 5 went on sale in November 2020, it is still not available across the board. In the last few weeks there have been at least occasional “drops” where the console was available several times in limited contingents for a short time (usually just minutes) from various online retailers.
PS5: NextGen console price increase here
