You can purchase a refurbished PS5 from Sony starting at $399, saving at least $100 on any purchase. The price of the PlayStation Portal and all PS5 consoles will rise by up to $150 tomorrow, April 2nd. To avoid the extra cost, consider buying a PS5 now, especially if you don’t mind a refurbished unit. Get a slim PS5, with or without a disc drive, for less than the retail price by choosing a refurb model from Sony’s PlayStation Direct, starting at $399 for the Digital Edition and $449 for the version with a disc drive—each $100 less than the April 1st retail price. Plus, the original model with a disc drive is available for $399. Avoid paying extra by going for these deals before retailers increase prices on April 2nd, potentially saving you $200—money you can spend on games and accessories. However, if you have gift cards or other reasons to buy elsewhere, proceed as you see fit.
For traditional retail purchases, the slim Digital Edition with 825GB storage is $499 at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Sony, and GameStop. The disc drive version is $549 via these retailers today. Unfortunately, refurbished PS5 Pro units aren’t available, so you’d need to buy new, priced at $749 ($899 after April 2nd), in its 2TB configuration, from Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Sony.
Save on the PlayStation Portal by purchasing today, as the price will rise from $199 to $249 tomorrow. Available at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Sony, the device has had improvements since its 2023 release, now allowing cloud-based streaming and higher-bitrate 1080p resolution for subscribers with suitable Wi-Fi.
