The PS5 Slim consoles have a $50 discount ahead of Prime Day.

The PS5 Slim is on sale for Prime Day, offering those who have been waiting to make the leap to next-gen consoles a promotion worth considering.

Prime Day is approaching, but you can already take advantage of some interesting deals. A clear example is the PS5 Slim variants, which have seen a $50 price reduction. If you’ve been reconsidering making the jump to the current generation of consoles and find the price of the PS5 Pro a bit steep, this discount is worth considering. The digital edition, which does not include a disc drive, is priced at $400, while the regular edition is available for $450.

The PS5 Slim variants offer the same performance as the original models but in a slimmer design. Given the bulkiness of the earlier models, this reduction in size is noticeable.

Furthermore, if you decide to purchase the digital edition and later want to use Blu-ray discs, DVDs, or physical game versions, there is an accessory you can buy for $80. However, it’s important to mention that this accessory has been selling out quickly due to the anticipation surrounding the PS5 Pro, which does not come with a disc drive natively but is compatible with the accessory.

The game library for PS5 is quite extensive at the moment, featuring standout titles such as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the acclaimed Astro Bot. Sony is also remastering key games that were released on PS4, including both chapters of The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. Additionally, there's a great availability of exciting third-party games, including the latest titles from EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and NBA 2K for sports fans, as well as Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3. Let's not forget the arrival of a new Call of Duty game in the coming weeks.

So, if you decide to get a PS5 Slim, you will have an extensive selection of games to explore. Moreover, considering a subscription to PS Plus Extra or Premium could be an excellent idea, as it will provide you with access to a large library of titles from the very beginning.
