Buy PS5: where to find consoles in April 2021 The current situation
Buy PS5
Update April 9th: Despite various rumors in the past few days, there are still no subsequent deliveries of the PS5 in sight. In the meantime, however, a new PS5 bundle with Spider-Man: Miles Morales has been advertised on Amazon, but it was not yet active and has already disappeared again. At Amazon, the offers usually start in the morning. But there is no fixed time. You can find helpful links to all shops that offer a PS5 below in the text.As of April 5th: Are you one of those unlucky players who still couldn't buy a PS5 (buy now)? You are not alone. We remember the queue in the Euronics shop at the end of February, when almost 130,000 people were hoping for the chance to load the new Sony console into the virtual shopping cart ...
How many devices were actually available, we do not know. Quotas of available PS5s have been in the three-digit range since the beginning of the year. The probability of getting a console in the normal way, unless you scan the usual shops, is therefore still low. Various websites have now started a live blog to inform desperate PS5 fans about current availability.
Sony was surprised by the demand for the PS5, it said a few weeks ago. Well, we can't think of anything anymore. More and more fraudsters are trying to get the money out of desperate buyers. And the fake pages are becoming more and more professional. After the announcement that Sony intends to sell PS5 consoles itself in the future, a website in particular attracted potential buyers. It is playstation-sony.XX (we do not include a direct link) but not an official Sony site! Overall, please be careful: if an offer is too good to be true, it usually is.
Unfortunately, we can't help you there either, in our editorial team there are still people without a Playstation 5. Perhaps the bot can help you as it searches German retailers for new PS5 availabilities. Or you can follow various Twitter accounts that draw attention to new offers. Until then, all you have to do is take a look at the usual shops and a quick mouse finger to forestall the scalpers.

The PlayStation 5 remains out of stock at most major retailers across the U.S.
Restocks at Newegg and GameStop sold out earlier this week and a rumored drop at Target on Thursday never materialized.
More consoles could be released before the end of the week, because Best Buy restocked its supplies each Friday for six straight weeks in February and March. The streak came to an end on April 2, however, and it remains to be seen whether the retailer will revert to type.
Here's a breakdown of the latest PS5 stock information from Target, Walmart, GameStop, Antonline, PS Direct, Amazon and more.
