Buy PS5: MediaMarkt and Saturn as console giants: when will there be supplies?

When was the last time the PS5 was available to buy? The latest drop on MediaMarkt and Saturn took place in two parts. The last replenishment at MediaMarkt was on March 23. On Saturn, the crash took place on March 28. This was because both dealers were struggling with major technical issues and therefore Saturn was only able to start a few days later. But there were also difficulties. In the event of a crash, these links are important:

When could there be a recharge? MediaMarkt and Saturn normally replenish them once a month. However, this number has decreased in recent months, so the next drop could come a little later. However, technical issues with the last drop sparked all sorts of speculation. It is possible that not all shares have been sold yet and another drop is imminent.

In addition, many experts expect a new sales campaign directly at the branches. That could be as far before Easter. No consoles have appeared here for a long time, so a local drop is quite conceivable.

The PS5 is not sold online at MediaMarkt and Saturn on a fixed day of the week. The weather also varies a lot. There were descents in the early morning, but also in the afternoon.

Buy PS5: Tips for buying consoles from MediaMarkt and Saturn

You should keep these tips in mind: At MediaMarkt and Saturn there is a so-called shopping cart trick.

In the next drop, sometimes exactly these people have an advantage and could attack before the official drop.

Also, drops at MediaMarkt and Saturn tend to take place in waves. Therefore, there are often two waves that take place a few minutes apart. Also, there are usually always supplies at MediaMarkt and Saturn, not just one of the two retailers. If you missed the drop at MediaMarkt, you should keep an eye on Saturn.
