The Costco deal is $55 more but includes an extra controller so basically the same when it comes to overall deal.
https://slickdeals.net/f/18720481

Unsure why this is getting downvoted as it matches the pricing frorm yesterday's +124 Frontpage deal. It only takes an extra minute or two to sign up for a free IGN account.
https://slickdeals.net/f/18722797

edit: now that the NBA2K26 game is included for free, I'd rank this "IGN" deal better than the Costco deal.

That's an interesting way of viewing it but seems to leave out a key consideration... Technology prices generally come down over time. Without a doubt, most of the components needed to build a PS5 are cheaper today than they were in 2020

Less than 10% off of launch MSRP is a deal... Sony has already bragged multiple times about how much profit they're making this console generation. Greed is ruining everything

The PS5 Slim bundle is being framed as a solid value, especially the 1TB disc version with NBA 2K26 included. The price is seen as competitive versus recent inflation and other retailers, and the bundle can land under $400 after reselling the game. The disc bundle also gets the nod over the 825GB digital model because of the extra storage and drive. The main drawback is PlayStation Direct checkout trouble, with repeated transaction errors and promo code issues. A good fit if you want the disc model and can get the site to cooperate.

Common Questions (5)

  • No, checkout can fail with the message, "Unfortunately we are unable to process your transaction. Please visit one of our retail partners." Switching browsers can help; one order went through on Safari after failing on Chrome, and another succeeded when retried a few hours later.

    GreyOstrich3026MattThaAsianNavyGame2439NavyGame2439

  • Yes. The 825GB discless PS5 launched at $399 in 2020, which is roughly $470 in today's dollars, so $374 is a solid discount versus launch value. The main caveat is that the 1TB disc version is often the better buy if you want more storage and a disc drive.

    inthepipefivebyfivenitestalrly723

  • The 1TB disc NBA 2K26 bundle is the better value for most shoppers because it adds 175GB more storage and includes an extra game. The non-bundle disc model is the newer CFI-2100, which is reported to run a little cooler and quieter with a matte finish, so it mainly makes sense if you care more about those small hardware changes than the extra storage and game.

    AquaMorning6225AquaMorning6225BoastfulDesk991

  • Yes. After reselling the included NBA 2K26 code, the 1TB disc bundle can come out to under $400 all-in, making it effectively cheaper than the sticker price suggests. One checkout example also showed $549.99 subtotal, $125 off, $0 shipping, and $34 tax for a total of about $458.99.

    CornPopThuggzMattahotwheeler69

  • The voucher is only valid on playstationdirect.com, and the fine print says it cannot be combined with a promo code. If the bundle price is already lower than the coupon-adjusted price, it can still be worthwhile, but the voucher and promo generally appear to be mutually exclusive.

At launch the 825gb discless version was $399 in 2020. All in all taking into consideration inflation itself, it would be ~$470 today so this is a fairly decent deal. Although I would suggest ponying up the additional cost to get the larger one terabyte version with a disk drive.

Just got it. $375 is a solid deal, considering the crazy price increases we've seen. I'll support this, but I'd never support purchasing at the higher tariff price.

Haha it's not about cost of components. It's about maximizing the consumers willingness to spend

Not really lol. Components come down in prices over time.

This is a bad way to look at it. All other consoles came down in price 5 year after release. PS5 and xbox series is the only one that increased. I remember getting ps4 and ps3 for 200 bucks. PS4 was 400 at launch and ps3 was 600.

I agree, I am sure that the price increase was more about maintaining their profit margins than it was about avoiding selling at a loss. I just wouldn't judge whether or not it was a "deal" based on the 2020 price and adjusting for inflation. It's more a deal if you really want to have one, and this is cheaper than you can get it anywhere else. Glad I got mine around BF last year.

You would think, but we're still dealing with global supply chain issues, inflation and of course, tariffs.

The 399 model was very hard to get a hold of at launch and even in the years after - Most PS5s available were the disk version.

Crazy to think I got the Slim 1TB disc spiderman bundle for only $350 minus coupons and rewards at staples for a final price of $270. And this was only in Feb of 24. I think still blaming supply chain issues is a bunch of crock. Inflation and tariffs definitely.

Nah these companies are just greedy. Economy is as good as ever and they saw consumers willingness to spend 2x/3x the price for scalped consoles and GPUs and it set the market baseline.

As a business why would you make 10 dollars when you could make 20 dollars
