Buy PS5: PS5 Pro for under 500 euros – this is how you take advantage of the crazy promotion

PS5 October 16, 2024 at 8:22 am

While a retailer reduced the PS5 Pro by almost half before the release, you can now also get the PS5 Slim particularly cheaply. We’ll show you the best deals.

The PlayStation 5 will finally get the long-awaited high-end console version in November with the PS5 Pro alongside the PS5 Slim. Because the rush for the first pre-orders in September was already great, you should secure your PS5 Pro as early as possible. During the hype surrounding the “new” console, you will also benefit from significant price reductions for the PS5 Slim.

Current trade-in promotion for the PS5 Pro: While you can now pre-order the PS5 Pro from many major retailers, including Sony itself, for at least 799 euros, GameStop is halving the price of the highly sought-after console if you trade in your old PS5 console at the retailer.

The trade-in campaign at GameStop works like this: You trade in a PS5 or PS5 console with or without a drive at the retailer and – depending on the console version you trade in – you get a discount of up to 350 euros on the new PS5 Pro that you have you can secure it at GameStop on time on release day. You can exchange the following console variants:

• PS5 with drive: PS5 Pro only costs 479,99 Euro
• PS5 without disc drive: PS5 Pro only costs 519,99 Euro
• PS5 Slim with drive: PS5 Pro only costs 449,99 Euro
• PS5 Slim without drive: PS5 Pro only costs 489,99 Euro

You’ll save the most with this promotion if you trade in a PS5 Slim with a drive. According to GameStop, in order to take advantage of the offer, you have to pay part of the purchase price in advance. In addition, the reduced price depends on the condition of the console. It goes without saying that it should be in as good a condition as possible and all accessories such as controllers and cables should be present. Furthermore, only one console may be exchanged in this way per person.

So if you wanted to switch from your old PS5 console to the new PS5 Pro anyway, then GameStop currently has the best deal for you. Nowhere else can you save so much when you pre-order the PS5 Pro. You can pick up your PlayStation 5 Pro from November 7th. On this day the console officially appears in stores.

Secure PS5 Pro (Anniversary): Pre-sales for the PS5 Pro started successfully in the PlayStation Direct shop in September. As expected, the anniversary version of the PS5 Pro in particular sold out quickly. For PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, the console and other variants are also available in a stylish retro look. With a bit of luck you can still secure a copy.

Aside from PlayStation Direct, more and more offers are currently appearing on eBay and Co. We strongly advise against purchasing from these third-party providers. The sellers are scalpers who charge outrageously high prices.

Instead, check out Otto, Amazon, Coolblue Media Markt and Saturn. You can now also pre-order the PS5 Pro there.

Mega-Deals on Amazon: Once again you can get the PlayStation 5 in various versions cheaper on Amazon. You can secure the console individually or in a bundle with a second controller at a bargain price. Sales and shipping take place through Amazon itself. Your delivery should therefore arrive as quickly as possible.

Even cheaper offers from resellers

After the bottlenecks at the beginning, Sony’s console is now easily available throughout Germany. If the PS5 is temporarily sold out at a retailer, you usually only have to wait a few days until it is back on the shelves. You should therefore no longer take advantage of offers that are above the RRP of 499 euros (PS5 and PS5 Slim without drive) or 549 euros (PS5 and PS5 Slim with drive).

With our offers above you are already well advised, but you can save a little more money if you buy your PlayStation 5 used. Resellers like eBay, asgoodasnew or ReBuy often offer consoles with minimal signs of use, but they are often 100 to 150 euros below the original price. It’s worth a look.

You don’t want to buy your PS5 online, but rather from a local retailer so that you can take the device home straight away? You have the best chances at Media Markt and Saturn.
