Black Friday 2024 PS5 Media Markt Angebot: My Hunt for the Holy Grail (and How You Can Score One Too!)
Hey everyone! So, Black Friday 2024 is looming, right? And you know what that means? The mad dash for the elusive PS5! Last year was a total disaster for me. I missed out on the MediaMarkt deals completely. I was glued to my phone, refreshing the page every five seconds, only to see "ausverkauft" staring back at me. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. So this year, I'm coming prepared, and I'm sharing my battle plan with you all. Let's make sure you don't end up empty-handed.
My Black Friday PS5 Blunders (and What I Learned)
Let's rewind to Black Friday 2023. I thought I had it all figured out. I even set multiple alarms! I was like a hawk, ready to pounce. I knew about the MediaMarkt deals, of course—they usually have some pretty killer Black Friday offers. But I made some major rookie mistakes.
First, I didn't check the MediaMarkt website before Black Friday. I should have checked their previous Black Friday sales to get an idea of what to expect. Knowing what they offered last year might've helped me plan my attack. Seriously, do your research! Check out previous years' Black Friday deals to see the kinds of bundles or discounts MediaMarkt typically offers. This will give you a realistic expectation.
Secondly, I relied solely on the MediaMarkt website. This is another mistake. I should've checked price comparison websites like idealo.de, and also looked at other retailers like Amazon.de to compare prices. Maybe a slightly different retailer would have had better stock.
My Biggest Regret?
Not setting up price alerts! This was my biggest failure. There are tons of tools and browser extensions that will alert you when a product price drops. This way, I wouldn't have needed to refresh the page constantly. Learning about these is key to winning the PS5 game, trust me! Sign up for email alerts too!
Conquering Black Friday 2024: My Refined Strategy
This year? It's a different story. I've learned my lesson. Here's my foolproof plan to snag that PS5 from MediaMarkt (or elsewhere):
- Early Bird Gets the Worm (or PS5): I'm setting multiple alarms—even a backup alarm for my backup alarm!. The best deals usually go quick.
- Multiple Browsers and Devices: No more relying on just one device! I'll be using my phone, laptop, and my wife's tablet. More chances for success.
- Price Alerts are Essential: I’ve already signed up for price alerts on several websites. This saves precious time and reduces my stress.
- Plan B (and C): I'm not just sticking to MediaMarkt. I'll be checking Amazon, Saturn, and other major retailers. Diversifying my search greatly increases my chances.
Beyond the PS5: Smart Black Friday Shopping
Remember, Black Friday isn't just about the PS5. Many other great deals are out there, so keep your eyes peeled. Maybe you can upgrade other tech too—gaming headphones, monitors, etc.
Don't forget: Set a realistic budget and stick to it. Black Friday deals can be tempting, but impulse buys can be a major pain later.
Good luck, everyone! Let's conquer Black Friday 2024 together! And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally get my hands on that PS5. Wish me luck!
