There was a time when PlayStation 5’s were simply just hard to find, but quite surprisingly, Amazon just rolled out an early Black Friday discount on the most affordable edition. Right now, the PlayStation 5 Slim is down to just $424 (originally $499), and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition is just $374 (originally $449), which represents a 15% discount on either.

Whether you opt for a disc drive or the all-digital PS5, it’s the lowest price we’ve tracked. Considering the PS5 Pro just launched, it’s not shocking to see a discount, but this is a tremendous savings that makes the affordable PS5’ – and the ones that are easier to display – even more affordable.
It also might be a sign that more PlayStation discounts are ahead of us as we officially hit Cyber Week. Additionally, if you’re a Prime member, you’ll score free, fast shipping and can get to playing – Astro Bot, anyone? – even faster.
Black Friday PS5 Slim deal
While the PlayStation 5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Edition are much smaller than the original PS5, there is no reduction in power. So suffice it to say, you’ll get an excellent gaming experience on either of these consoles, including smooth playback and impressive graphics … especially for optimized titles.
The real win here, especially with this deal, is a bigger bang for your buck, considering the 15% instant discount on both models. Plus, you’ll have a much easier time finding a home for these next to, under, or near your TV. You also get the excellent DualSense controller in the box with either.
You can see TechRadar Gaming’s full review of the PS5 here and why it earned four and a half stars. However, if you want to score the PS5 at a discount, you’ll want to act fast, as there is no telling how long this deal will last.
