Today is your last chance to enter a PS5 before the Sony price increases come into force
Sony announced a price increase of $ 50 on all PlayStation 5 “Slim” models in the United States from tomorrow August 21. The upcoming prices for a digital PS5 edition, the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro are $ 499.99, $ 549.99 and $ 749.99, respectively; However, you can avoid paying higher prices by collecting a PS5 on Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart today.
The disc based on the disc is already exhausted on Amazon, and your options can become even more limited the more you wait. Currently, you can get the PS5 Digital Edition for around $ 449 on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target, while the standard PS5 can be obtained for around $ 499 at Best Buy, Walmart and Target. You can also recover the new PS5 Pro for about $ 699 on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target.
The three PS5 consoles can play the same game library, but have slight differences. The PS5 Digital Edition offers a selection of rearranged port and has no integrated record player, which means that it can only play digital games downloaded from the PlayStation store. (Sony sells an optional external reader that you can add after the fact for $ 79.99 if you want to play physical games or BLU rays.) The PS5 standard based on disk offers the same technological specifications, but with an internal disk player.
The PS5 PRO, on the other hand, has a better GPU, a faster memory, an improved rays layout, support for Wi-Fi 7 and an increase fueled by AI. It does not have an internal disc, but it is compatible with the external disk reader developed for the original PS5. It also comes with 2 TB of internal storage instead of the SSD 1 TB found in non -pro models, so you have an additional space to store digital games. The reinforced system has no exclusive titles, but some PS5 titles have received updates to be more beautiful.
The Sony prices increase less than a month after Nintendo has introduced a similar increase of $ 30 on the original models of Switch Nintendo. Nintendo has also recently increased the prices of certain Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, but Sony says that “the recommended retail prices of PS5 accessories remain unchanged”. The prices adjustments of the two companies are attributable to the prices on international goods, which were announced for the first time in April and continued to change in response to the policy of President Donald Trump.
