PlayStation 5 Slim Is Now $75 Off
The PlayStation 5 Slim currently costs $424 (down from $499.99), which is the lowest price ever sold on Amazon, according to price trackers (buy it at GameStop for an extra $25 off ). The new PS5 Slim retains much of the same design as the original, with distinctive curved white panels, glowing light strips around a black center, a familiar power button, two USB ports and a Blu-ray drive. The big change is that there are now two USB-C ports on the front instead of one USB-A and one USB-C, which should be more future-friendly. You can install Slim both horizontally and vertically. However, because it’s thinner, it’s not as stable when held upright without a stand , which will cost you an extra $30.
Storage has also taken a good hit. The PS5 Slim now comes with a 1TB SSD, giving you 848GB of usable storage – significantly more than the original model’s 667GB. Plus, it still has an M.2 SSD slot, so you can easily expand your storage if you need more space in the future. In terms of performance, the PS5 Slim features the same AMD Zen 2 processor, RDNA 2 GPU, and 16GB of GDDR6 RAM as the original model, so you’ll get the same fast performance and graphics capabilities that support ray tracing and can output up to 8K . In terms of gaming performance, the PS5 Slim runs games smoothly in Fidelity mode, which offers rich graphics at 30 frames per second, and Performance mode, which delivers speeds up to about 60 frames per second, according to this PCMag review . The DualSense controller remains unchanged and continues to impress with adaptive triggers and motion controls, although battery life is still around 10 hours, which is fairly average.
