The PS5 is available cheaper at many retailers on Black Friday. Sony is also launching the PS5 Slim at the same time. There is a lot to be said for going straight to the new console.

- You can get the PS5 with a Black Friday discount at many retailers.
- The console is so popular that it is already sold out at many retailers.
- As an alternative, the new PS5 is available in the slim version.
The PS5 was released in November 2020, but due to low availability in recent years, Sony’s console is still as popular as it was on the day it was released. This becomes clear again, especially on Black Friday. The big retailers engage in a real price war at the sales event and undercut each other. The strategy is working so far. There are only a few offers left for the PS5. Often it is sold out or only available at the regular price.
Before you buy a discounted bundle that you’re not actually interested in or get the console at the recommended retail price, you should consider an alternative: the PS5 Slim. Sony has secretly launched the narrower, new version of the next-gen console to coincide with Black Friday. So far it is only available from a few retailers. Media Markt and Saturn are also there.
Removable drive
1TB storage space
Slimmer design
Media Markt is one of the few providers that already has the PS5 Slim in its range. There you can get the console for a recommended retail price of 549.99 euros. There is currently no cheaper offer.
More storage, slimmer design and removable drive
Although the PS5 Slim is not currently offered at a bargain price, it may well be worth buying. Because the new model offers some advantages compared to the disk and digital edition. The most obvious is the slim design. The PS5 takes up significantly less space. Despite the compact size, you don’t have to miss out on short loading times and high-resolution 4K gaming with up to 120 frames per second.
The removable drive is a real innovation. The side panels can be easily removed and reveal the integrated Ultra HD Blu-ray drive. You can then remove this easily and without any tools if necessary. This is how you quickly transform your PS5 into a purely digital version. Gamers with large game collections will also be pleased that the PS5 Slim offers a terabyte of memory. The SSD of the Standard and Digital Editions is only 825 gigabytes in size.
Current PS5 offers
If the PS5 Slim is currently a bit too expensive for you, you can still benefit from these PS5 offers with the disk and digital variants. However, you shouldn’t think about it for long, the offers can quickly be sold out.
