After months of speculation, Sony Australia has finally revealed local pricing and availability for the upcoming PS5 Slim, with pre-orders now open across a variety of retailers.
Releasing just in time for the holidays on December 6, the slimmer PS5 will once again be available in 'Disc' and 'Digital' configurations, only now there's a twist —thanks to the new PS5's modular design, the Digital version can be upgraded with an external disc drive which can be purchased separately.
It's also worth noting that while the original PS5 shipped with 825GB of SSD storage, the new 'Slim' model will come with a 1TB SSD.
Pricing for the standard PS5 Slim with one DualSense controller has been set at AU$799 with one DualSense controller, and AU$889 with two DualSense controllers.
As for the PS5 Slim Digital Edition, that starts at AU$679 with one controller, and goes up to AU$769 with two controllers.
Meanwhile, the optional PS5 Slim Disc Drive has been priced at AU$159. Our advice? Get the standard version then source a cheap second controller elsewhere.
The new 'Slim' PS5 is available to pre-order now in Australia from a number of major retailers, including the likes of Amazon and JB Hi-Fi. Additional details below.
