The PlayStation 5 Slim has been hard to come by since its release, spurring some shoppers to pay over-market prices from other sellers. But for now, there seems to be ample supply during PlayStation’s ongoing Days of Play sale.
Currently, the PlayStation 5 Slim is 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 (originally $449.99).

As mentioned, consoles tend to sell out quickly, so keep an eye on stock if you plan to buy, and consider acting quickly. The PlayStation store is the only one offering the PlayStation 5 with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Bundle for $449 at the moment, with Best Buy’s supply already running dry. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member and you buy the console or a PS VR2 headset through Sony, Sony will include 12 months of Netflix Premium as long as you make the purchase between May 29 and June 12. The offer applies to new and existing Netflix subscribers.
If you already have the older PS5 and are wondering about upgrading to the slim version, keep in mind that it offers more than just a sleeker design (about 30% slimmer, according to IGN’s review). The PS5 Slim also has 1TB of internal storage space, which results in an additional 181GB of usable space when compared to the original PS5. This addresses two of the biggest cons of the original PS5: the bulkiness and lack of storage space compared to the Xbox Series X.
The PS5 Slim can be oriented both horizontally and vertically, but if you choose the latter, you’ll need a vertical stand, which costs $29.99.
