A fantastic opportunity to acquire the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital console, bundled with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, is currently available at PlayStation Direct for just $400. This offer is expected to sell out quickly, especially given Sony`s impending price adjustments.
Effective August 21, all PlayStation 5 console models in the US will see a $50 price increase. This means the PS5 Slim Digital, currently priced at $450, will rise to $500.
Launched in May, this Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 bundle was already an exceptional deal at its $400 promotional price. With a current estimated value of $520, purchasers save $50 even if they don`t factor in the game. Once the new console prices take effect, the savings jump to a substantial $100 when compared to buying the standalone console. The inclusion of Black Ops 6 simply sweetens an already attractive proposition.
It`s worth noting that the standard PS5 Slim bundle, previously available for $450, is no longer in stock at retailers. As a limited-time promotional offer, the Call of Duty bundle is unlikely to have its price increased, but it`s also highly improbable that it will remain available once the broader price changes are implemented.
The PS5 Slim Digital Call of Duty Black Ops 6 bundle comes with a digital voucher for the game, a white DualSense Controller, a USB-C charging cable, an HDMI cable, and a power cord. Should you wish to position your console vertically, the necessary stand is sold separately for $30. Additionally, for those who purchase the Digital edition but later desire to play disc-based games, a separate disc drive can be bought for $80.
New PlayStation 5 Hardware Prices (Effective August 21):
- PS5 Slim: $550 (previously $500)
- PS5 Slim Digital: $500 (previously $450)
- PS5 Pro: $750 (previously $700)
Until August 21, select retailers like Amazon still offer the PS5 Pro for $699 and the PS5 Slim (with disc drive) for $500, reflecting their current, lower prices.
