PS5 the console returns to Micromania stocks live

PLAYSTATION 5. The PS5 is back! Several restockings have taken place this week, and the console is more available than ever. You still have to stay among the first informed to get a copy. Live stocks and all our buying advice a little further down.

[Mis à jour le 30 mars 2022 à 12h29] It is with heavy hearts that we had to say goodbye to the Playstation 4 a little less than a year and a half ago. Seven years of good and loyal service concluded with a transfer of power to its little sister the Playstation 5. Except actually, not really. The release of Sony’s latest console took place under special conditions, in the midst of a global pandemic and in the midst of an international shortage of semiconductors. As a result, the PS5 came out of stock. A status that she has not left for 18 months, making her purchase relatively complicated and making it one of the most sought-after items of the moment. But we are now in March 2022, and the console seems to be coming back strong. Restocking is increasing at retailers, while anti-scalper measures are beginning to have their effect. As a result, the console is more than ever in stock, with copies on the German Amazon site and at Micromania this Wednesday.

Our update on PS5 stocks from Wednesday March 30:

  • 12:28 p.m.: Out of stock at Micromania
  • 11:28 a.m.: last pack available on Micromania
  • 11:01 a.m.: The queue is long but the console is still available.
  • 10:52 a.m.: The console available at Micromania !
  • 09:23: Out of stock at Amazon DE
  • 09:01: Amazon DE relisted the console, available without the need for a Prime subscription.
  • 09:00: The PS5 is long overdue. However, it can be found used and at a high price on the site. Rakuten.

Finding a new Playstation 5 is therefore a bit of a feat. You have to be available when a restocking occurs, validate your basket quickly, deal with the heavy traffic on the sites… To avoid all this, there is always another solution, get the second-hand console. The PS5 is relatively easy to find on resale sites, like Rakuten here. Only, resellers are having a field day on the price of the console, sometimes resold for more than double its new value. Honest deals can slip between the lines, though, so here are the two best new and used PS5 deals on Rakuten. As a reminder, the console is sold new for €399 for its Digital version and €499 for its Standard version.
