Black Friday is in the air, gently blowing breezy deals our way. Case in
point? The PS5 Slim is available for $75 off at Amazon, Walmart, Sony and
other retailers. This brings the price of the disc-based version down to $425
and the digital-only model down to $375. This is a fairly budget-friendly way
to see what all the PS5 fuss is about.

Despite the moniker, thereΓÇÖs nothing slim about the specs. This is a
regular PS5, with the same horsepower as the original unit. However, the PS5
Slim is 30 percent smaller and around 25 percent lighter. When it comes to
tech, smaller is typically a good thing.

Both versions ship with a DualSense controller and a 1TB SSD. These consoles
also come with AstroΓÇÖs Playroom pre-installed, which is the precursor to
the incredible Astro Bot. They donΓÇÖt, however, come with a vertical stand.
ThatΓÇÖll cost extra. The digital-only model, obviously, doesnΓÇÖt ship with
a disc drive, though thereΓÇÖs a standalone drive available for those who
would rather make that decision later.

Otherwise, this is a PS5. ThereΓÇÖs no other way (right now) to play games
like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. It also runs
cross-platform hits like Star Wars Outlaws and Elden Ring, in addition to
pseudo-exclusives that made their way to PC like God of War Ragnar├╢k.

This sale is not for the recently-released PS5 Pro, so you wonΓÇÖt get all of
those graphical upscaling bells and whistles. However, that new console is a
whopping $700, whereas these PS5 Slim consoles are just over half that.
