The PlayStation 5 Slim has been hard to come by since its release, spurring some shoppers to pay over-market prices from other sellers. But for now, there seems to be ample supply during the Christmas holiday from major retailers.
Currently, the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition is on sale for $374 (originally $449.99) after a $75 discount from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition is also available for $399 (originally $449.99). The physical disc version is also available at its lowest price of $424 (originally $499.99) on Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
As mentioned, consoles tend to sell out, so keep an eye on stock if you plan to buy, and consider acting quickly. Depending on how close you are to an Amazon warehouse, you might have the option to get it delivered before Christmas. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target all offer shipping that can arrive before Christmas for both versions of the console. (Of course, you can always go pick it up in person if you want.)
If you already have the older PS5 and are wondering about upgrading to the slim version, keep in mind that it offers more than just a sleeker design (about 30% slimmer, according to IGN’s review). The PS5 Slim also has 1TB of internal storage space, which results in an additional 181GB of usable space when compared to the original PS5. This addresses two of the biggest cons of the original PS5: the bulkiness and lack of storage space compared to the Xbox Series X.
The PS5 Slim can be oriented both horizontally and vertically, but if you choose the latter, you’ll need a vertical stand, which costs $29.99.
