If you’re in the market for a PS5 console, now might be the best time to get one, as the price of the PS5 Slim just dropped to its lowest ever.

There’s been a lot going on when it comes to PlayStation 5 consoles lately, as not only has Sony started taking pre-orders on its mid-generation PS5 Pro, the publisher also celebrated PlayStation’s 30th anniversary with a PS1-inspired edition.

Getting your hands on either isn’t an easy task, as the PS5 Pro shocked fans by launching at a towering £699.99, while the anniversary edition sold out almost immediately – with many of them ending up on eBay and being sold by scalpers for up to £8,000.

The silver lining to all this is that the ordinary PS5 Slim is now much cheaper at a bunch of UK retailers, including Argos, GAME, and Currys, two weeks ahead of the PS5 Pro launch.

Right now, you’ll find the cheapest PS5 Digital Edition Slim at John Lewis, where the console has been slashed to £334.

That’s a saving of £55 from its original price of £389, and it comes with a controller, but there are other retailers that also have similar prices on the PS5 Slim, if stock starts to run out.

Currys have the console at £339, while GAME and Argos have cut the price down to £339.99.

As always, there is no indication of how much stock each retailer has, so any and all of them might sell out at any time.

These prices are much lower than last year’s Black Friday sale, when the PS5 Slim was on sale at £459, before the console had even launched.

The PS5 Pro comes out November 7, but it’s still a bit surprising that the retailers cut the price of the PS5 Slim so much, just a month before the shopping holiday of the year that is Black Friday.

It may be intended to time in with the launch of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, which comes out on Friday, October 25 (although there is a trick to playing it earlier).
