The article discusses the availability and promotions for the PlayStation 5, including the upcoming PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim. The PS5 Pro is open for pre-order, with significant trade-in discounts available at GameStop. Additional offers include a Netflix subscription promotion for PS Plus members and discounted prices at various retailers. As stock improves, alternatives for purchasing include local stores like Media Markt and Saturn, as well as second-hand options for savings.
The PlayStation 5 is currently offered in two variants: the PS5 Slim and the upcoming PS5 Pro. Although the PS5 Pro is not physically available yet, pre-orders are already open. As the release of the Pro version approaches in November, prices for the PS5 Slim are steadily dropping.
PS5 Updates as of October 30
Trade-in Promotion for PS5 Pro: Pre-orders for the PS5 Pro can now be placed at various retailers, including Sony, at a price of €799 (excluding additional drives). GameStop is offering a fantastic deal where you can trade in your old PS5 for up to €350 off the new PS5 Pro.
The trade-in process at GameStop works as follows: Bring in a PS5 or PS5 variant (with or without a drive) to receive a discount on the PS5 Pro based on the version you’re trading in. For the best savings, trading in a PS5 Slim with a drive is recommended. Note that you will need to pay a portion of the purchase price in advance to benefit from this deal, and the discount varies with the console’s condition. Ensure your console is in good shape, and include all accessories like controllers and cables. Each person is limited to one console exchange.
If you’re looking to upgrade from your old PS5 to the Pro version, GameStop currently has the most advantageous offer available. You can pick up your PS5 Pro starting November 7, the official release date.
Great Offers from Cyberport: Cyberport is another retailer worth considering for PS5 deals. Occasionally, they offer the PS5 Slim with a built-in drive for as low as €409.90, a saving of €140 from its recommended retail price of €549.99.
The next best deal is available from Galaxus, priced at €416.89, which is still competitive.
Sony’s Netflix Promotion: This popular offer has returned! You can receive a complimentary Netflix Premium subscription valued at nearly €240 when you purchase a selected PlayStation product through the PlayStation Direct store. This promotion is valid until October 31 and is exclusively for PlayStation Plus members.
If you’re a PS Plus member, you can obtain the Netflix subscription for free with a purchase of either a PlayStation Slim (with or without an extra controller) or a PlayStation VR2 set. Notably, this time, refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles are also part of the promotion, priced between €459 and €650.
To take advantage of this offer, log in to your PSN account on the PlayStation website, then add your desired product to your cart. According to Sony, you’ll receive an email within one to two business days after your purchase containing all the details to redeem your 12-month Netflix Premium subscription. This promotion runs until October 31, 2024, or while supplies last.
Deals at Discount Retailers: Netto is currently selling the PS5 Slim for €489, which is still a solid price compared to the €549.99 recommended retail price.
PS5 Pro (Anniversary) Purchase: Pre-sales for the PS5 Pro began successfully at the PlayStation Direct Shop in September, with the Anniversary edition selling out quickly. To celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, this version features a stylish retro design. Depending on your luck, you might still find one available.
Be cautious of third-party sellers on platforms like eBay, as they may charge exorbitant prices. Instead, check reputable sites such as Otto, Amazon, Coolblue, Media Markt, and Saturn for PS5 Pro pre-orders now available.
Explore Cheaper Reseller Options
After initial supply shortages, Sony’s PS5 is now widely accessible throughout Germany. If a retailer momentarily runs out of stock, it typically becomes available again within days. Thus, avoid purchasing at prices exceeding the recommended retail price of €499 for the PS5 and PS5 Slim without a drive, and €549 with a drive.
While the above offers are excellent, you can often find further savings by purchasing used consoles. Resellers like eBay, asgoodasnew, or ReBuy frequently have consoles with minimal wear at prices ranging €100 to €150 lower than the standard rates. It’s worth checking out.
