Shortly before Prime Day, Amazon is reducing the price of the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition by 16 percent. Is there a hidden bargain for gamers here?

According to Amazon, the PlayStation 5 was purchased a total of 4,000 times last month. Sony’s console is still popular despite the announcement of the PS5 Pro. No wonder, because the company is charging a happy 799 euros for the more powerful version, which Sony says will be launched on November 7th.

PlayStation 5 Slim: Amazon is undercut

If you can’t or don’t want to spend that much money, Amazon is offering a deal for the PlayStation 5 Slim in the Digital Edition shortly before Prime Day. Instead of the RRP of 449.99, the mail order company is selling the gaming console for 379 euros – a discount of 16 percent.

Deal Check: Amazon does not get the high score for the best price here. The console was only available for 359 euros at the end of August. Otherwise, the price has remained stable above the 400 euro mark in recent months, as long as the offer is not to be sniffed at. However, it is currently even cheaper on Ebay: With the voucher POWEREBAY6 The price drops by six percent from 399 to 375 euros.

Although Amazon and eBay do not offer the best prices ever, the offers are certainly competitive when you look at the last few months. If you have a little patience, you can wait and see whether the prices drop further on Prime Day – but there is no guarantee that this will happen.
