Following the PlayStation 5 console price hikes that took effect on April 2nd, many speculated it would be months before another significant discount appeared. Surprisingly, just a few weeks later, Sony’s official online store is offering the slim PS5 model without a disc drive for an impressive $399. This marks a substantial $200 saving compared to its price at other retailers. While this price point was more common in late 2025, it’s quite an unusual find in the current market.
This particular discounted bundle mirrors other slim digital PlayStation 5 consoles, including the PS5 system, a DualSense controller, a power cable, and an HDMI cable (note that the vertical stand is sold separately). Additionally, it comes with exclusive Fortnite cosmetic items redeemable within the popular free-to-play third-person shooter. As previously mentioned, this digital-only console lacks a built-in disc drive, though a compatible add-on can be purchased for $79.99 and easily attached to enable playback of physical games or 4K Blu-ray discs.
