Right now, you can currently save $50 on the digital and disc-based versions of the PlayStation 5 Slim. This is the first discount we’ve seen on the standalone version of Sony’s new console, and worth checking out if you missed out on one of the console’s various bundle deals.
The disc-based version of the slim PlayStation 5 was $499.99 at launch, but is currently discounted to $449.99 at GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon. However, if you’d prefer to pick up the digital-exclusive version of the PlayStation 5 Slim, you can find the $449.99 console on sale for $399.99 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
These trimmed-down PS5s are equipped with the very same hardware as the older models that will eventually be phased out, but they have a smaller footprint overall and are around two pounds lighter, depending on whether the disc drive is attached. Both consoles are aesthetically similar to the original design, but both feature a small black channel that cuts through both sides.
