The PS5 Slim is $50 off for October Prime Day 2024

<p>The October version of <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Prime Day[/url] has arrived, but some of the best deals are already selling out. Case in point: both variants of the PS5 Slim have dropped by $50, but at least one of them is not currently available at Amazon. Thankfully, rival retailers are picking up the slack.&nbsp;</p>
<p>To back up: The PlayStation 5 is still a hot commodity nearly four years after its debut. While the $700 <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/sony-unveils-its-ps5-pro-console-which-will-cost-you-a-whopping-700-151636487.html">PS5 Pro[/url] is perhaps a little too on the pricey side, the svelte PS5 "Slim" line have all the power of the original PS5 units but in a more slender form factor. Given how chunky those first models were, that's nothing to sniff at.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Normally starting at $449, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition (the one without a disc drive) has dropped to $399, while the regular edition <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0w2MUYzOUg_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiZTg2MzBhMWUtZWJkYy00Y2VjLWI4NzQtZDJkMGUxZTFmNDViIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ0w2MUYzOUgiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&amp;signature=AQAAAU4Sm1urJbNftEUu0JI0YE6QlMK7d3hFZqX7S7iHWxzY&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CL61F39H" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL61F39H?th=1">can be yours for $449[/url].

<p>If you buy the Slim Digital Edition and later decide that you'd like a disc drive so you can use Blu-rays, DVDs or physical editions of games on your PS5, you can pick up an <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/sony-is-releasing-a-smaller-ps5-with-a-detachable-disc-drive-in-november-162625078.html">$80 attachment[/url]. However, it's worth noting that the add-on has been going in and out of stock in anticipation of the PS5 Pro, which doesn't have a disc drive built in but is compatible with the attachment.</p>
<p>There's a large library of <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/the-best-ps5-games-for-2024-top-playstation-titles-to-play-right-now-144653417.html">great PS5 games[/url] at this point, thanks to killer first-party titles such as <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/marvels-spider-man-2-review-the-rare-game-thats-both-bigger-and-better-140002497.html">Marvel's Spider-Man 2[/url] and the utterly terrific <a data-i13n="cpos:8;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/astro-bot-ps5-review-one-of-the-best-games-sony-has-ever-made-120014494.html">Astro Bot[/url]. Sony is remastering some major games that debuted on PS4 for the console too, including both chapters of <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/the-last-of-us-part-2-remastered-review-the-roguelike-no-return-mode-steals-the-show-150006382.html">The Last of Us[/url] and <a data-i13n="cpos:10;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/horizon-zero-dawn-remastered-arrives-october-31-on-ps5-and-pc-052407167.html">Horizon Zero Dawn[/url]. There's a huge selection of great third-party games to jump into as well, like the latest EA Sports FC, Madden NFL and NBA 2K games for sports fans, <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/elden-ring/">Elden Ring[/url] and <a data-i13n="cpos:12;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/why-baldurs-gate-iii-is-an-accidental-ps5-console-exclusive-200521291.html">Baldur's Gate 3[/url]. And let's not forget the small matter of a new Call of Duty game <a data-i13n="cpos:13;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-trailer-for-call-of-duty-black-ops-6s-zombies-dlc-has-risen-191550462.html">dropping in a few weeks[/url].</p>
<p>So, if you do pick up a PS5 Slim, you'll have a ton of games to buy and check out. That said, a PS Plus Extra or Premium subscription might be what you want, as that will give you access to a large library of titles right out of the gate.</p>
