[Mis à jour le 28 avril 2022 à 12h02] The Playstation 5 is not far from celebrating its eighteenth month on this Earth. A turbulent existence, marked from its inception by supply disruptions and production problems that greatly impacted the home console market. The fault of the coronavirus pandemic which has severely handicapped the electronic chip market, and at the same time that of gaming, computing and the automobile.

How to buy a PS5?
Getting a PS5 is a far cry from the usual stroll through supermarkets or just ordering on the internet. Since the release of the console in December 2020, its situation remains very specific. Released directly out of stock and in the midst of a global pandemic, the PS5 quickly became an object of legend. Rare were those who could obtain another and rarer still the copies available for sale. Since then, hunting the Playstation 5 has almost become a sport, with its rules, its players and its referees. If you want to learn more about the different tips you need to know to buy your console, the slide below is for you.
The used PS5 at a high price
Finding a used PS5 may still be the best way to get Sony’s latest console today. Unfortunately, the second-hand market is about as prolific as the new market, with copies of the console going on sale at prices sometimes beyond double the original retail price. As we recall, the PS5 is sold by Sony for €399 for its Digital version, and €499 for its Standard version. Second-hand purchases are therefore reserved for buyers wishing to obtain the console at all costs, regardless of the price.
