Christmas is fast approaching and you only have a small window left to fill the space underneath your tree. Fortunately for you, one of the best possible gifts right now is cheaper than ever, as Sony’s PS5 Slim brandishes a beautiful discount that saves you up to 17%.
The cheapest way to grab the console is through the $374 Digital Edition, but you’ll run the risk of getting it after the holidays. Not only does the $424 Disc Edition justify its price tag by adding in compatibility for much-loved physical media, but you’re guaranteed to get it with plenty of time to wrap it up. It’s also $1 cheaper than its Black Friday price, sweetening the deal.
Reduced to £370 for digital and £462 for the included disc reader, there are plenty of price cuts in other regions, and all arrive before the big day. Check out your local deals by hitting the button below.
PlayStation 5
Play has no limits. Choose your next adventure from a vast library of PS5 and PS4 titles including recent releases, innovative indies, big-budget hits, and Ubisoft+ Classics.
While CDs have become glorified coasters to some and their boxes nothing more than paperweights, there are plenty of people who still value good, old-fashioned physical media. When asking Club386 readers whether they prefer digital or discs, I saw an outpouring of love for the traditional approach.
Some cite their adoration for Collector’s Editions to display on their shelves. Others are content maintaining access to their games, fearing the digital rug-pull of a publisher removing their title from a storefront. One thing is clear, though: everyone with a disc drive benefits from the second-hand market, trading games in for credit or cash they can put towards their next adventure.
No matter which model you go for, just make sure you give Astro Bot a shot. It’s The Game Awards’ Game of the Year for a reason, standing tall in a stacked category filled with fantastic entries like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metaphor: Refantazio, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
