Big news for gamers looking to buy a PS5: the console is available in two bundles sold by Cdiscount. We take stock of the inventory.
[Mis à jour le 25 mai 2022 à 13h46] New restocking on the PS5 planet this Wednesday morning. Amazon and CDiscount start the ball rolling by offering the console alone for the first, and the console in packs for the second. It includes the PS5, games, controllers, accessories and a one-year subscription to the new Playstation Plus. Offers that are likely to go extremely quickly, but bode well since the console is more and more present on the market. If you haven’t managed to get the console, stay tuned, we’ll keep you informed in the minute of new restocking.
Besides CDiscount, Micromania also offered the console this Wednesday. As always, the video game e-commerce giant was taken by storm by buyers. The home and product pages soon turned into giant queues. We have a small trick to help you in such situations. To avoid queues on the product pages, you can add the Playstation 5 or a particular pack to your wishlist. This list can be found on your profile, and allows you to add the products concerned directly to your basket. You can thus save precious minutes during your purchase.

It is also possible to regularly find stocks of PS5 at Rakuten. However, the console is sold there at a high price. We only recommend this option if you really can’t get your hands on the PS5 at its base price (when it is available).

The month of May starts with bad news that can be found in an article by CNBC. In a recent interview with Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, the newspaper posed the sore question, and asked for an estimated duration of the shortage of semiconductors which penalizes the computer markets, home consoles and of the automobile. The answer is not very reassuring:We believe the global semiconductor shortage will extend into 2024, despite our previous estimates (2023), as shortages are now hitting equipment and some production lines will be under severe strain.“Bad news for the home console and graphics card market.
