The highly sought-after PlayStation 5 Slim has become significantly more accessible to UK gamers, with substantial price reductions hitting both the Digital and Disc editions across multiple retailers.
What's New with the PS5 Slim?
Sony's redesigned console maintains the powerhouse performance of the original PS5 but comes in a more compact form factor that's approximately 30% smaller. The new model also features increased internal storage, jumping from 825GB to a much more practical 1TB SSD.
Current Deal Breakdown
Major UK retailers including Amazon, Very, and Currys have slashed prices on both versions of the console. The Digital Edition has seen particularly attractive reductions, bringing it closer to the £400 mark, while the Disc Edition offers greater flexibility for those who prefer physical media or want to play 4K Blu-ray movies.
Key Retailer Offers:
- Digital Edition: Significant savings from original RRP
- Disc Edition: Competitive pricing across multiple outlets
- Bundle opportunities: Some retailers offering game inclusions
Why Choose the PS5 Slim?
The newer model doesn't just offer a smaller footprint - it includes several practical improvements. The stand has been redesigned, and perhaps most notably, the Disc Edition features a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive, offering future flexibility.
With exclusive titles like Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and the upcoming Wolverine game, there's never been a better time to join the PlayStation ecosystem. These price reductions make the barrier to entry lower than it's been since the console's initial launch.
Gaming enthusiasts should act quickly, as stock of the redesigned consoles at these reduced prices may not last long given the increased demand during the current shopping period.
