The PS5’s new, slimmer design features the earlier version’s power and capabilities but in a more modern, streamlined form factor. Now through June 12, you can get one with a sweet $50 discount, bringing the Digital Edition down to $400 and the normal version to $450.
Sony’s PS5 is the best overall pick in our guide to the best gaming consoles because of its vast library of great games and incredible DualSense controller. Any gamer who has kept track of its release knows it used to be highly sought after, with extremely limited stock that sold out immediately. Luckily, years later, it’s no longer in short supply, and now you can even buy the digital version on sale for a limited time. PS5 deals don’t come by often, so I recommend acting while this one’s active.
Get $50 off the PS5 Slim
Sony PS5 Slim
The PS5 is one of the best consoles thanks to its powerful hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Though it costs $50 more than the digital-edition PS5, this model lets you play game discs. This slim version of the console is also slightly smaller than the original and has 1TB of storage.
Sony PS5 Slim (Digital Edition)
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is for downloadable games only and costs $50 less than the standard PS5 with a disc drive. A disc drive add-on can be bought separately should you wish to use physical discs at a later date for an extra $80.
Though you can purchase a PS5 Slim Disc Drive separately to add onto a Digital Edition console afterward, I highly recommend paying for the normal version if you ever plan to play physical game copies. It’s only $450 for the original version, whereas the Digital Edition’s $400 plus the $80 Disc Drive afterward would bring the total up to $480.
You can buy both versions with discounts from Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. These retailers don’t advertise an end date to their deals, but a cut-off date of June 12 is listed on the PlayStation website.
