Have you heard? Sony’s PlayStation 5 (PS5) Slim is hitting shelves just in time for Christmas.
With a 30% reduction in volume and 18-24% reduction in weight compared to previous models, this streamlined console arrives in a slim disc and digital edition.
The technical guts, on the other hand, remains the same. Meaning neither gaming performance nor storage has been impacted negatively.
Here’s everything you need to know about the hottest stocking stuffer of 2023.
When will the PS5 Slim be released in Australia?
The PlayStation 5 Slim will officially be released in Australia on December 6th. But you won’t have to wait an entire week just to claim yours ahead of the holidays.
Currently, pre-orders are open through major tech/gaming retailers (see: below).
Considering the almost-comical supply shortage we experienced with the regular PlayStation 5, it might be worth running instead of walking for this one…
How much will the PS5 Slim cost in Australia?
The standard prices for the PlayStation 5 Slim and associated accessories across the nation are as follows:
- PS5 Slim Disc Edition — $799.95
- PS5 Slim Digital Edition — $679.95
- PS5 Disc Drive — $159.95
- PS5 Slim Vertical Stand — $49
These figures obviously deviate either way depending on the forthcoming sale promos as well as whether the PlayStation 5 Slim has been bundled with DualSense Wireless Controllers, brand new titles such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and so forth.
