Many users still want to buy a PS5. There have been sales (drops) again, but Amazon has been absent so far. MeinMMO explains what you need to know if you want to buy a PS5 from Amazon.
Where could you buy a PS5? Some are currently desperately trying to purchase a PS5. Either they want to buy the console for themselves or as a Christmas gift. However, even at this time, the console is hardly available. In the last few weeks, there have been several major offers, so-called drops:
- There was a large quantity of PS5 consoles available at the retailer Otto
- Also, MediaMarkt and Saturn offered many PS5 consoles.
- Even Sony itself had a sales event with PS5 consoles in its own shop.
However, many users are still looking for a console and all eyes are currently on the wholesaler Amazon. Because there have been no consoles here for weeks. But there are reasons to believe that there could soon be consoles available here.
Amazon has not sold a PS5 for over 50 days
What is the situation? The current situation is unclear. While Amazon has sold consoles in the UK and France in recent days, the German Amazon site remains empty. Amazon sold the last PS5 consoles in Germany on October 27 – that was almost 2 months ago.
How do I know that Amazon might drop soon? There is primarily one indication that suggests that Amazon might drop soon. And that is a small Prime hint that appears on the PS5 page at Amazon. This hint can also appear at night. The drop then often happens the next day.
This hint applies to both the PS5 with disc and the PS5 Digital Edition. Additionally, there are several bundles available on Amazon that could also be available.

Why might there be PS5 consoles at Amazon today? PS5 hunters already know that Amazon has specific days and times when it offers consoles:
- So far, you could purchase PS5 consoles either on Wednesday or Friday. Since Friday is Christmas Eve, Wednesday is the most likely.
- Amazon usually drops between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. There have been no offers on Amazon in the afternoons.
If you want to buy a PS5 console from Amazon, you should keep an eye on the promotional page for the PS5 on Amazon. Once the Prime hint appears there, you can be sure that Amazon will drop very soon.
What do I need to consider? Prime customers get priority during the PS5 sales at Amazon. This means that you need a Prime membership to be able to buy a PS5 from Amazon. Either you are already a Prime customer or you sign up for the free trial for 30 days.
