The PS5 Digital Edition has just dropped to £429.99, a genuine £90 saving on a console that rarely gets discounted this much.
That’s down from this PS5’s usual £519.99 price, a 17% saving at JoyBuy. This price is far lower than what you’d pay on Amazon.
This PS5 Digital Edition slim console just dropped to under £430
This PS5 Digital Edition slim console has just dropped to under £430, making now a great time to snap one up before the price changes.
Going digital doesn’t mean giving up the option of physical games down the line, since Sony sells a detachable disc drive separately for £99.99 that clips straight onto this exact model whenever you decide you want one.
That flexibility extends to storage too, with the console now shipping as standard with a full 1TB SSD rather than the odd 825GB drive found in the original release, leaving roughly 800GB of usable space once the system software takes its share.
Connectivity has quietly improved as well, with two USB-C ports built into the front of the console instead of the single one found on the original model, handy for anyone charging a pair of DualSense pads or a PSVR2 headset overnight.
All of that speed is put to work by the DualSense controller itself, whose adaptive triggers and haptic feedback turned something as simple as Astro’s Playroom into a demonstration of what next-generation gaming was supposed to feel like.
Our expert reviewer Chris Smith put the PS5 through months of testing and concluded that it remains this generation’s console king, thanks to its combination of raw power, a refined interface and the best library of exclusive games around.
That combination of raw power and polish is exactly what makes a fully specced 1TB PS5 Digital Edition at £429.99 one of the more sensible entry points into this generation right now, particularly for anyone happy to stream and download rather than collect physical discs.
The option to add that detachable disc drive later means this deal doesn’t lock you into a digital-only future, making it just as sensible for someone who wants to wait and see before committing properly to physical media.
