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. If you want to prepare effectively for the next restocking (which will probably take place this Tuesday morning), you can always consult the various tips, techniques and buying advice on our article below:

The month of May starts with bad news that can be found in a CNBC article. 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 market for home consoles and graphics cards.
