At Conrad, the PS5 was available in a bundle on Friday. While the console is now sold out, it’s worth keeping an eye on the electronics retailer.

Update from 11/21/2022, 2:09 p.m.: Recently, many were able to buy a PS5 from Conrad. However, the console is now sold out here. However, as things currently stand, this does not mean that you should not keep an eye on the electronics retailer for the next few days.

A November 4th drop currently seems quite realistic – even if many from the PS5 hunter scene had completely written off the dealer until recently and basically declared it dead with regard to the PS5. But dead looks different – the 3 drops in the week that is now ending have impressively proven that.

In short: Be sure to keep a close eye on Conrad in the new week that has just begun. It’s quite possible that something else will follow here. And if you generally don’t want to miss a drop and always want to be up to date on the current supply situation for the PlayStation 5, then be sure to take a regular look at our PS5 live ticker.

Buy PS5: Order the console bundle now with FIFA 23 from Conrad

Update from 11/11/2022, 9:00 a.m.: The electronics retailer Conrad is currently offering the PS5 again – in the Official FIFA 23 Bundle (Disc Version) with Gran Turismo 7. This is already the 3rd drop at Conrad this week. The price is quite steep at €888.00, but can be reduced by €88.00 with the code “PS5DEAL”. So you get a 10% discount and then pay €800. There are currently 44 (as of now) bundles available. Delivery should be next week between Monday and Wednesday.

By the way, if you don’t want to miss a drop in general and always want to be up to date on the current supply situation of the PlayStation 5, then you should definitely take a look at our PS5 live ticker regularly.

Update from November 10, 2022, 6:50 a.m.: After the drop on November 7th, Conrad is currently selling again – since yesterday evening. You can still get that there official FIFA 23 bundle (disc version) with Gran Turismo 7 for €888.00. The price is quite hefty, but it can be reduced by €88.00 with the code “PS5DEAL”. Delivery should take place between Friday and Monday.

Update from November 8th, 2022, 9:36 am: After the drop, Conrad has calmed down again. And whether anything will change at all is questionable due to the company’s realignment (switching to “business-to-business” sales).

According to the current status, Conrad will only continue to operate the branch in Wernberg-Köblitz. All other branches are already closed or will be closed in the course of 2022. In short: The retailer could be completely eliminated as a PS5 source – at least with regard to local campaigns. It is also not really possible to assess how future online drops will look at the moment. There has been at least a sign of life from time to time in the last few months.

In short: Conrad has rarely been relevant in the past when it comes to PS5 sales. And given the restructuring, the situation there is unlikely to get any better. However, we would not categorically rule out further online drops here.

Update from November 7th, 2022, 2:45 p.m.: By the way, you can at the PS5 sale by Conrad Save a whopping €88 with the code “PS5DEAL” (many thanks to user nr141 from foraum.de).

Update from November 7th, 2022, 12:50 p.m.: Huge surprise at Conrad! There you can get the official FIFA 23 bundle with the PS5 disc version and Gran Turismo 7 for €888.00. Delivery should be between Tuesday and Thursday next week. The remaining number of console bundles is displayed on the page – and as you can see: there are always enough buyers at this price.

Original message from 08/12/2022: Hamburg, Germany – Who would have thought it? The dealer Conrad Electronic has sold the PS5 before, but was never known as a regular or important replenishment guarantor. In addition, the general future of PS5 drops from this retailer has been uncertain lately. In short: Conrad currently had almost no one else on the screen. But now, out of nowhere, a new sales campaign actually came up, where you can still dust off the coveted Sony console.

Buy PS5: Conrad rears up again in August – sells console in a bundle

When was the last time you could buy the PS5 from Conrad? The last time Conrad offered the PS5 locally in its branches. The campaign started at the beginning of April 2022, but consoles were still available in some markets on April 28th. available. At that time, a bundle consisting of the disc version of the PS5 together with the games FIFA 22 and Horizon: Forbidden West was offered for €689. By the way, there hasn’t been an online sale since the launch of the PlayStation 5.

What’s the current status of PS5 supplies at Conrad? The coveted PS5 console has been available online from Conrad since the evening of August 11 and can still be ordered as of now (6:45 a.m.). You will get a PS5 bundle there from PlayStation 5 with drive and the three games FIFA 22 (PS4), Horizon: Forbidden West (PS5) and Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) for €699.00. Shipping is possible, delivery should be between 15.08. and the 17.08. take place. You can also pick up the bundle at a nearby Conrad branch. According to the advert on the Conrad website, more than 230 bundles (of just over 1,000 at the start of the campaign) are currently still available.

Buy PS5: Conrad’s future as a PS5 source is questionable – these are the backgrounds

What about the future of the PS5 at Conrad? On August 11, 2022, Conrad reared its head again and is still hot today when it comes to fresh PS5 console supplies. But how long that will remain or when you can next buy the PlayStation 5 there (if at all again) cannot be estimated at the moment. The reason for this: a decided reorientation of the company.

That changes with Conrad: Conrad will according to their own statements namely no longer operate its branches in the previous format and, above all, no longer in the previous number. The company will focus more on B2B (i.e. on “business to business” sales). However, the mail order business is likely to continue.

According to the current status, only the branch in Wernberg-Köblitz will continue to be operated in the previous format. All other branches are already closed or will be closed in the course of 2022. So Conrad could probably soon be dropped as a PS5 source – at least in the form of local markets. It is therefore very unlikely that a local PS5 sales campaign will take place there again. It is also not really possible to assess how future online drops will look at the moment.

By the way, not only Conrad is currently interesting. If you don’t want to miss any drops and always want to be up to date on the current supply situation for the PlayStation 5, then you should definitely take a regular look at our PS5 live ticker.
