With the announcement of the new Sony PlayStation 5 Pro gaming console coming on Thursday, Nov. 7, the standard PS5 (disc and digital editions) are in stock and marked down — ahead of Sony taking pre-orders for the PS5 Pro on Thursday, Sept 26.

On sale for $51 off at Amazon, ahead of Prime Day, the PS5 “Slim” is one of the best gaming consoles you can buy in 2024 — especially for its new sleek and futuristic design that’s about 30% smaller and 18% lighter than the original generation.

Both console editions are also on sale at Target and Walmart.

The disc edition-compatible PS5 console features support for up to 120FPS and a 120Hz output for 4K Ultra HD displays. This means you’ll never miss a beat when you game. There is “RayTracing” too which will create true-to-life images for an immersive gaming experience. The included “DualSense Edge” wireless controller offers haptic feedback and features adaptive triggers so you can get tactile feedback from your favorite games. The Sony console itself also has backward compatibility, which means you can play any PlayStation game you already own — saving you from starting over with your gaming library.

Additionally, the PS5 is the only way to play hit games, like Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Astro Bot, and other titles.
