My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: PlayStation 5 Slim
The PlayStation 5 Slim has been hard to find since its release, prompting some buyers to pay inflated prices from other sellers. But for now, it looks like there will be plenty of deals to be had during the ongoing PlayStation Days of Play sale .
The PlayStation 5 Slim is currently on sale for $449 (originally $499.99) after a $50 discount from Amazon , Walmart and Best Buy . The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition is also available for $399 (original price $449.99).
As mentioned, consoles tend to sell out quickly, so keep an eye on stock if you’re planning on buying and consider acting quickly. The PlayStation Store is the only one currently offering the PlayStation 5 with the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle for $449, and Best Buy’s stock has already dried up. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber and purchase a PS VR2 console or headset through Sony, Sony will give you 12 months of Netflix Premium if you make your purchase between May 29 and June 12. Offer applies to new and existing Netflix Subscribers.
If you already have an older PS5 and are wondering about upgrading to the slim version, keep in mind that it offers more than just a sleeker design (it’s about 30% thinner, according to IGN’s review ). The PS5 Slim also has 1TB of internal storage, giving it an extra 181GB of usable space compared to the original PS5. This addresses two of the original PS5’s biggest drawbacks: bulkiness and lack of storage space compared to the Xbox Series X.
The PS5 Slim can be oriented either horizontally or vertically, but if you choose the latter, you’ll need a vertical stand , which costs $29.99.
