Save some cash: As of July 29, both Amazon and Walmart are offering the PlayStation 5 Slim digital edition for a cool $399, down from its usual $449.99. And if you’re eyeing the version with a disc drive, it’s priced at $449, discounted from $499.99, at these same retailers.
The much-anticipated PlayStation summer sale has arrived, running until August 5, or as long as supplies last, so now’s the time to snag a discounted PS5 Slim. Our readers were keen on the PS5 during Amazon Prime Day, even though there weren’t any major discounts at the time. That’s why we’re thrilled to share when there’s actually a chance to save some money and where to find the best deals. While you can explore the sale across multiple platforms, Amazon and Walmart are fiercely competing to offer the rock-bottom price.
These retail giants have knocked off 99 cents from the competition, letting you grab the PlayStation 5 Slim digital edition for a straight $399, instead of $449.99. For those who favor physical media, you can pick up the PS5 Slim with a disc drive for $449, reduced from $499.99, at both Amazon and Walmart.
On a side note, don’t miss checking out the latest buzz about the Nintendo Switch 2: release dates, games, pricing, and more.
In comparison to the original PS5, you might find the disc drive model more enticing, considering Sony increased the digital model’s price by $50 for the slim version. Despite the presence or absence of a disc drive, the PS5 Slim delivers much of the superb performance of the original console but in a more compact form, as detailed in a review by our sister site, PCMag. Plus, the PS5 Slim comes with an impressive 1TB of built-in storage, a bump up from the 825GB found in some earlier PS5 models.
Thinking of holding out for something bigger? The PS5 Pro announcement may be just the thing to wait for if the PS5 Slim hasn’t quite won you over.
