Can someone explain the differences between the PS5 and PS5 slim?
Aside from the size difference there is 1tb of storage rather than 825gb.

- Less heat
- Bigger Storage (825gb vs 1TB)
- 2x USB C's on the front vs 1x A, 1x C on the Fat PS5
- Smaller form factor

Mainly you're getting a new game (digital), new controller (important due to stick drift) and refreshed 1 year warranty on a new console

I upgraded my PS5 right before Xmas when they were offering $400 trade in. The Slim does generate less heat so it should extend the lifespan. Plus you're getting a renewed warranty, if you planned to buy spiderman 2 it's an added bonus....or you could try to sell the code and make most of your money back.

Main differences are the USBs at the front of the unit, and I did notice that the fans doesn't sound like an airplane taking off for intense games.
I much prefer the original model with plenty of space between all its contents inside. Slim is a compressed, super miniaturized revision.
Like a pc to laptop. If anything the slim would have heat issues not the original.

Stick to your original ps5. Gamestop is not trying to do you any favors here or ever.

agree. Was going to go for the slim but got the fat one for $335 at Target. It's dead silent besides when you insert a disc. Plus it looks sleek in black and designed better than the slim.

I've had my ps5 since it launched - have there been any complaints about the slim? Might be a nice "upgrade" for a fresh console (not that I've had any issues with mine)
I bought the slim disc bundle yesterday and the console froze up twice before it even finished updating. Had to turn around and swap it out.

I did this trade in a few days ago. The slim PS5 is really loud compared to the original. You can Google this. I'm definitely disappointed in that regard.
Thanks for the info. Still PTSDed from my PS4 Pro.

I have never heard my PS5 which is whisper quiet (excluding drive).

Just waiting for the PS5 Pro anyway.

I'll pay $600 for your old PS5, plus shipping... if you haven't updated since early 2022.

If your old firmware is on 4.51 or earlier, shoot me a DM. I'll alternatively send you $200 and a new-in-box PS5 with a newer firmware and the Horizon bundle. I'm a serious modder and want multiple units to tinker with.


Gamestop doesn't care what firmware you're on and gives you the same price.

Afraid this is going to be a big No for me. The deal is good and worth the trip.However I have blacked out my ps5 with really cool side plates and bought a charging fan dock. Neither of these items will work with the slim. I actually got used to the size of the console and made a shelf especially for it to sit on next to my tv. Other side of the tv has a shelf I made for the Series X. Don't get me wrong. It's a good deal. I haven't had any problems with my Ragnarok bundle one. If you occasionally clean the fans and dust them off they will work for years to come. My ps4 pro is still going strong. Looks brand new still.Doesnt sound like a jet engine either. It was the one that came bundled with Modern Warfare when they still bundled physical disc's in their bundles.Dont let the fact that gamestop refurbished and used consoles are the worst place to shop. This is a brand new retail boxed unit from the manufacturer fully waranteed. For anyone who hasn't bought accessories or better plates than the factory ones this makes total sense. Spiderman 2 is tempting but I allready have Remastered and Miles Morales from the Miles Morales Ultimate edition when it went on sale at Best Buy. I have both those game on my pc as well. Plus my backlog library has gotten way out if hand to the point that I've had to force myself to stop buying new games and play the ones I allready have. That was going pretty well for me but then Helldivers 2 released and well you can guess the rest of the story.

Great deal for a PS5 for those looking at PS5 outside of the holdiays. Good for kids going on spring break right now. Slimmer console, more power efficient with the free game. New revisions allow for a future mod to add the disc-drive later.

That credit is just about worth the toilet paper it's printed on.

Can you elaborate how you managed to get it for 335?
