You can save $50 on a PlayStation 5 Slim


Prime Day doesn’t usually come with any game console deals — but if you’re in the market for a PS5, a $50 discount on the PlayStation 5 Slim has been on offer since earlier this month and is still available at several retailers.
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is starting as low as $399 ($51 off) at retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. You can find the same for the PS5 Slim with a disc drive, which is starting at $449 at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
The consoles still aren’t cheap, per se, but they’re as cheap as you’ll find for machines that can play the latest titles with up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second.
Of course, reaching the upper threshold on either of those metrics is highly dependent on the game you’re playing and what you’re willing to sacrifice. You can get a faster frame rate by switching to performance mode in many games or go for the most impressive visuals by switching to a mode that prioritizes fidelity or resolution. Rarely will you get both.
That’s where a PS5 Pro would help, but we’re still a month out from its arrival, and that thing is also $700 — before you factor in the optional $80 disc drive, by the way. If you can’t see yourself waiting that long or paying that much, one of the current PS5s is still a great buy. They’ll continue supporting all the same games and accessories, so you shouldn’t feel much apprehension picking one up this late in the game.
