PlayStation 5 consoles were some of the most highly sought-after and popular deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023. While these sales have come to an end, the good news is that the discounts are still available. You can still get a fantastic deal on the PS5 or PS5 Slim just in time for Christmas, with top bundles costing $499. These bundles feature Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or Spider-Man 2 at no extra charge, offering potential buyers savings of $70 compared to purchasing the items separately.

Where to Buy a PlayStation 5 Slim
PS5 ‘slim model’ is the brand new PlayStation 5 console that will become the widely available version of the console from now onwards. It’s 25% smaller than the original console and features a larger 1TB SSD alongside a custom disc drive slot that can be removed or added to whenever you like. If you buy the digital edition, the attachable disc drive is also now available for $79.99.
These new PS5 slim disc edition bundles come with a digital code for either Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (PS5) or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PS5). Since the bundles cost the same as the MSRP of the PS5 Slim, you’re effectively getting a PS5 game for free with your purchase. The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is also available to buy for $449, but there aren’t any bundles featuring a free game just yet.

Where to Buy a Standard PS5
It has been notoriously difficult to get your hands on a PS5 since its late 2020 launch due to industry-wide chip shortages and scalpers reselling consoles for nearly $2,000. However, the supply has finally caught up with demand for the most part, and now it’s far more common to see the consoles in stock in-store and online at most retailers. The best deal right now is similar to the Slim bundles we’ve mentioned and features Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at no additional cost.
The standard PS5 disc edition is 25% larger than a PS5 Slim, has a 825GB SSD, and its disc drive is not removable. We’ve also discussed the best places to buy the Nintendo Switch if you’re interested.
How to Trade in Your Old PlayStation Consoles
If you’re looking to trade in your old PlayStation consoles, you can do so at select retailers in-store and online. The most widely available retailers are GameStop and Best Buy. Additionally, you can trade your used devices online at retailers such as Amazon and Microsoft. Some retailers will offer you cash for your used goods, while others may provide you with a gift card that can be used in-store and online.
Where to Trade in PlayStation Games
Similarly, you can trade your existing games in at specific retailers. The most widely available retailer accepting used video games is GameStop, but they are notorious for giving you pennies on the dollar for your pre-owned titles. However, if you’re looking for an easy way to offload some of your library for cash or in-store credit, this is a convenient option. Alternative, you can trade in your used games online through Amazon in exchange for an Amazon gift card.
