Amazon Prime Day* is in full swing and there’s something for gamers too. If you already have a PS5 or other console, here are the best games on Prime Day. If you’re still playing with current generation consoles, you’re now spoiled for choice:
Either treat yourself to the current PS5 in the Prime Day Top Deal and save a lot of money, or wait for the new PS5 Slim, which was announced yesterday.
The bundle with the ‘FIFA’ successor costs only 499 euros during Prime Day, saving you no less than 120 euros on the normal price. You can get it cheaper for another 10 euros on eBay* – The console is currently not even cheaper without a game. If you want to know what the new PS5 looks like, what it will cost and what else is new, you’ve come to the right place.
PS5 Slim: the leaks of the past months have come true
It was actually an open secret that Sony would introduce a slim version of their current gaming console at the end of this year. But no one could have imagined that this would happen so early and during Amazon Prime Day.
What’s new with the PS5 Slim? The new PS5 is 30 percent smaller and 18 to 24 percent lighter, making it appear significantly slimmer. You can once again choose between a Disc Edition with Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and a Digital Edition without drive. But with the new PS5 you can easily upgrade the drive later with the Digital Edition. A practical solution for indecisive players. The cover of the console will also be modular, which you can replace with cover plates in different colors.
How much will the new PS5 cost? The PlayStation 5 with a new design will cost 549.99 euros (Disc Edition) or 449.99 euros (Digital Edition) in Europe. So you do not have to accept a price increase again. Since the new PS5 will gradually replace the old version, you might be able to get a real bargain on the old model in the coming weeks.
When will the new PS5 be available? The PS5 Slim will be sold in the US from November. Sony will then gradually expand sales to the remaining continents. It’s not yet known when we can expect this in Europe, but we imagine it could be around Christmas time.
Please continue reading for the exact technical data Sony’s official press release to dig. We are curious whether the slim PS5 will perform as well as the current model and what Sony has in store for gamers in the near future. You can also look forward to new versions of the Xbox, which according to leaks could be coming to us in the coming months.
