Nowadays it's easy to pick up a PS5 console or bundle in Australia, whether you're after the standalone disc or digital version, but getting them cheaper than RRP can sometimes be a challenge. Last year we saw the standalone PS5 go for as little as AU$649, though on most normal days you can expect to save around AU$40 if you shop around. With the PS5 Pro vying for bucks as well, there's every possibility the PS5 Slim will be subject to even steeper discounts during the course of 2025.

The RRP for the PS5 in Australia is AU$799.95 for the disc model, and AU$679.95 for the digital model. The PS5 Slim has launched alongside its new digital (and more expensive) iteration, with older models now mostly supplanted at the big reputable outlets. The design on these is slightly smaller, shedding 30% of the form factor from the vanilla model.

As for the PS5 Pro, that launched in November 2024 and will set you back a rather eye-watering AU$1,199.95. The stock issues that blighted the PS5's launch hasn't occurred with this mid-gen refresh, presumably because it's prohibitively expensive. Read our PS5 Pro review for a closer look, and to see whether it's right for you or not.

By the way, like the digital PS5, the PS5 Pro won't come with a disc drive, so you'll need to buy the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 to tack onto the side.

Though it was down to AU$699 last week and has gone as low as AU$679, this is still a reasonable price for a PS5 Slim disc model and Astro Bot. The total value on this would be AU$908.95 when the RRPs of both bundled items are taken into account, so it's a whopping discount by every measure. It helps a lot that Astro Bot was the best PS5 exclusive of 2024. Yes, it may come to PC some day, but right now, you'll need a PS5 to play it.

The PS5 digital edition also has an Astro Bot bundle for AU$579. Considering the PlayStation Disc Drive usually retails for AU$159, I'd strongly advise going for the disc version instead.
