Amazon is currently offering a fabulous deal on the digital edition of the PlayStation 5 Slim console, offering one of the cheapest prices around. The PS5 Pro may be on sale soon, but if you don’t fancy splurging £700 on the new console, the Slim is a great budget-friendly alternative.
For a limited time, Amazon is offering the PS5 Slim for £334, down from £389.99, giving you a lovely £56 saving. John Lewis is also selling the console at a discounted price of £334, and it’ll cost you the full original price of £389.99 if you buy it directly from PlayStation.
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition Console is an all-digital version of the original PS5 console with no disc drive. Simply sign into your PlayStation Network account and go to the store to buy and download games – within seconds you could be playing the latest releases, such as the highly-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
The console provides gamers with ‘powerful gaming technology’ that’s packed inside a sleek and compact design. It offers ‘near instant’ load times for installed PS5 games, and allows players to enjoy ‘smooth and fluid high frame rate gameplay’ at up to 120fps for compatible games, with support for 120Hz output on 4K displays.
The PS5 Slim comes with a DualSense wireless controller which offers haptic feedback, allowing you to feel the effects and impact of your in-game actions through the dynamic sensory feedback. In supported games, the console offers Tempest 3D AudioTech3, immersing you in the game you’re playing with sound coming from every direction.
If you use the PS5 Slim with an HDR TV, supported games will display an ‘unbelievably vibrant and lifelike’ range of colours. That’s not all, as the console offers a ‘new level of realism’, with rays of light individually simulated, creating true-to-life shadows and reflections in supported PS5 games.
The PS5 Slim is an Amazon’s Choice product and has an overall rating of 4.6 out of five. One delighted customer awarded it full marks and commented: “I bought the PS5 for my brother and it’s been an incredible purchase. The graphics are stunning, with super smooth gameplay that truly enhances the gaming experience. The load times are practically non-existent, and the console’s performance is top-notch.
“The design is sleek, and the build quality feels solid and durable. My brother is absolutely thrilled with it, and it’s been a hit in our household. If you’re looking for a high-quality gaming console, the PS5 is definitely worth it.”
A second wrote: “Works perfectly and audibly quieter than the original PS5 – I would know because I have one… Would recommend to anyone looking for a spectacular gaming experience.”
Another thrilled buyer added: “Sleek, quiet and great performance. Takes up little space too, and the load times are really fast. Well worth the upgrade from my PS4. Highly recommend.”
Sadly one gamer isn’t completely satisfied with the PS5 Slim, as they explained: “Its storage, though fast, is limited, and with modern games requiring significant space, the need for external storage can arise quickly.”
