In case you’ve been holding out on picking up a PS5 for the first time, or doing a cheeky upgrade to the slightly slimmer, higher-capacity new model PS5, PlayStation Australia has kicked off a week-long deal on the disc-based console.
Even better, is the discounted RRP has already been further undercut by retailers like Amazon, so while Sony is advertising a temporary low price of $724.95, you can actually get it for as little as $685 shipped which might not be the insane lows we’ve seen in the “old” PS5, it’s definitely some of the best sale activity yet on the slimmer version.

In our review of the slimmer model PS5 we said, “For the vast majority of existing PS5 owners, the new slimmer model isn’t going to inspire any real need for an upgrade – but that’s hardly the point. PlayStation’s not only taken the opportunity to squeeze the immense size of the console down to a more reasonable volume, but added some welcome improvements along the way, meaning those looking to pick up a PS5 for the first time or add another to their household are getting an even better version of an already-great machine.”
