As of July 29, there’s a sweet deal on the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition. Priced at just $399, it’s $50.99 cheaper than its original $449.99 tag at both Amazon and Walmart. If you prefer the version with a disc drive, that’s available too for $449, marked down from $499.99 at the same retailers.
PlayStation’s summer sale is in full swing until August 5, or while stocks last. If you’ve been eyeing the PS5, now might be the perfect time to snag one. During Amazon Prime Day, our readers showed a lot of enthusiasm for the PS5 even though it wasn’t discounted. So, we’re excited to share that you can now score some savings. Whether you’re shopping directly from PlayStation or browsing through various retailers, Amazon and Walmart seem to be in fierce competition to give you the best bargain.
Both these retail giants have trimmed their prices by 99 cents more than others, offering the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition for an even $399, down from $449.99. If you’re still set on a console with a disc drive, Amazon and Walmart have you covered at a price drop of $449, from the usual $499.99.
You might find that opting for the disc drive model offers more bang for your buck, particularly since Sony has increased the list price by $50 on the digital-only slimmed-down version. Regardless of your choice, both editions match the stellar performance of the original PS5, albeit in a more compact design. According to PCMag’s review, which aligns with our admiration for the original console, you’ll also enjoy a boost in storage with 1TB in the PS5 Slim, compared to the 825GB found in some older PS5 models.
If you’re still on the fence about the PS5 Slim, it might not hurt to hold out for the anticipated PS5 Pro announcement.
