If you want to find out where to buy a PS5 Slim, then we have you covered. The new model promises a more compact size and new face plates, along with a detachable disk drive which you can buy separately.
The PS5 Slim is available in bundles across retailers in the US and UK now that the latter’s release day has arrived (November 29), and we’ve herded up the best and most convenient bundles or console deals and prices at the biggest retailers to get you to the right place as quickly as possible.
Stock seems to be holding firm and we’re hopeful that all of those frustrating PS5 restock issues we experienced when the console initially launched are firmly in the rear-view mirror – but having seen the lack of PlayStation Portal restock, we’re mindful of being overconfident.
And don’t forget, that’s not all the new PS5 gear and hardware coming out soon. If you’re looking to up your audio game then you should consider a Pulse Explore earbuds pre-order (arriving in December 2023) or a Pulse Elite headset pre-order (arriving in February 2024). That will really elevate your new PS5 Slim experience.
Anyway, let’s get to it, below are a host of options for you to buy a PS5 Slim or pre-order one from reputable retailers.

Pre-order PS5 Slim – FAQs
How much is the PS5 Slim?
The PS5 Slim will retail for the exact same price as it’s larger predecessor. That is $499 for the disk-drive edition in the US, and £479.99 in the UK for the full fat version, and £379.99 for the Digital Edition.
What are the specs of the PS5 Slim?
Simply put, the PS5 Slim will have exactly the same specs as the original, launch PS5. Nothing has changed apart from the design, weight, dimensions, and footprint of the console – as well as that detachable disk drive of course.
Should you buy a PS5 Slim?
The PS5 Slim is an aesthetic update to the console with one extra – the detachable disk drive. Otherwise, there are no hardware or spec changes. As a result, if you have an existing, launch PS5 model, unless you really like the new design or really want the detachable disk, there’s no reason to go for the PS5 Slim.
For those who are looking to get their first PS5 console then it’ll depend on your preferences of how the two different kinds look, and whether you’ll utilize that disk drive.
The PS5 Slim will become the only model on offer at some point but before then there’s no major factor separating it from the ‘regular’ model.
