The PlayStation 5 does not seem to be in short supply everywhere.
But there is a simple reason that it is not sold out there.
In Germany and in many other countries, PlayStation fans wait every day for an opportunity to buy the new PS5.
Unfortunately, Sony's next-gen console is sold out most of the time *.
If you want to catch a PS5, you have to keep a close eye on the online shops.
The console is currently not on display in stores, although some lucky customers seem to have been lucky on site when asked.
In some other countries the situation is very different.
There are sometimes stacks of unsold PS5 consoles in the shops.
However, there is a catch.
There is still plenty of PS5 available in Istanbul: That's why nobody is buying it
Strictly speaking, there are several catches: On the one hand, the shop in question is located in
Istanbul Airport
.
Before you look around for a plane ticket, which is a bad idea anyway in view of the coronavirus pandemic, there is one much bigger disadvantage: As
GamePro
reports,
the PS5 costs a whopping 1 in this business
.
099 euros
.
After all, it is a special price - the regular price is 1,199 euros.
Some travelers who stopped at the airport in Istanbul have already stumbled upon the consoles and shared their discovery on Twitter, among others:

PS5 is generally more expensive in Turkey
In Europe, the PS5 normally costs 499 euros.
The price of 1,099 euros is much overpriced in comparison, even by Turkish standards.
There the console usually costs 8,299 Turkish Lira, which is the equivalent of
just under 850 euros
.
Even for locals, the price in the shop at the airport is around 250 euros more expensive, which is why the stack of PS5 boxes will probably remain untouched for a long time.
The more than 1,000 euros may seem like a lot, but there are much more brazen offers.
For example, an ad for a PS5 that is in an impossible condition has appeared in the Facebook Marketplace.
The asking price?
Over $ 1,000.
