PS5 Disc Edition incl. 2nd controller at the green electricity tariff
The PS5 is still practically sold out everywhere and is being traded at moon prices on eBay (check the current availability here). So-called tariff bundles offer one way to secure the NextGen console. Most of them were also out of stock in the last few weeks, but now there is one again. You currently have the chance to contact the electricity provider “E wie einfach” (electricity discount subsidiary of E.on) the PlayStation 5 (disc edition) including 2nd controller and 2 years of PlayStation Plus as a bonus at the electricity tariff. In addition to the regular costs of the tariff (monthly basic price + price per kWh consumed) there is a one-time additional payment of 349 euros on.

24 month price guarantee: the electricity price remains unchanged for at least 24 months
PS5 in the green electricity tariff: How do I get the NextGen console?
If your old electricity contract is about to expire, you have to instruct “E like simple” to oversee the change at least one month before the end of the contract period. This works over the phone or online in the customer portal.
You will get the PlayStation 5 earlier, however: After the successful contract confirmation of the delivery by “E wie einfach” and the payment of the one-time additional payment, the console will be sent to you, even if you still get electricity from the old provider. Note: The earliest delivery date is only End of January 2022.

PlayStation 5 at E how easy: is the offer worth it?
Unfortunately, we cannot calculate exactly whether a change to “E wiesimple” is worthwhile for you, since various factors such as the state, household size and your own electricity consumption play an important role when it comes to electricity offers. In an example calculation for a three-person household in Berlin, we got a slightly higher price per kWh (34.66 cents) with a comparatively mediocre basic fee (25.60 euros per month). Our tip: Take a look at your current annual electricity bill and compare whether it is worth changing provider in terms of total costs for the next 24 months if you deduct the costs for the PS5.
The biggest advantage here is, of course, that you have the Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition (RRP 499 euros), a second controller (RRP 69.99 euros) and 24 months of PlayStation Plus (RRP 119.98 euros) for a one-off payment of 349 euros. If you had to change your electricity provider anyway, the offer could be worthwhile.
