Where to find a PS5 in store?
It is also one of the quite viable solutions for the purchase of a Playstation 5: go to the store to try to find a pack. If this option is not necessarily the most efficient in terms of time and CO2, it can possibly allow you to find the rare pearl, namely a PS5 or PS5 + Horizon Forbidden West pack. Indeed, since the sale of this lot including the Guerrilla Games game and the console, it is possible to find PS5s in stores, provided you show a good dose of luck. At the moment, we know that Fnac sometimes offers the Sony console in stores, you just have to go there and ask a salesperson. But beware, PS5 stocks in stores are never guaranteed.
Where to buy a used PS5?
If you are looking at all costs to get the Playstation 5, know that you can find it every time on the Rakuten site. Indeed, the e-merchant specializing in resale very often offers copies of the Digital or Standard console alone. It should be noted that these offers come from individuals, who offer the console well above its selling price. Indeed, to buy a new PS5 in store, it is necessary to count between 399 € for the Digital, and 499 € for the Standard. Keep these amounts in mind when visiting the Rakuten site. These purchases are reserved for highly motivated players who wish to avoid the great waltz of drops and restocking.
After a month rich in stock for the Sony console, restocking is slowing down, except for a few copies put on sale by Auchan on Monday. But the situation is a good omen for potential buyers of the Playstation 5, who are seeing an increase in the “drops” of the console.
