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. That may prove especially true in light of Sony's recent PS5 price hike in Australia: effective immediately, the new RRP for PS5 in Australia is AU$829.95 for the disc edition, and AU$749.95 for the digital edition.

While that price hike was announced in mid-April, it's yet to be reflected on the shelves of Aussie retailers or online shopfronts. Indeed, the recent Astro Bot PS5 bundle can still be had for as little as AU$724 in some places, so it may be wise to snap up current stock before retailers see fit to follow Sony's advice. The PS5 Pro hasn't received a simliar price hike, but remains very expensive at AU$1,199.

By the way, the digital PS5 and the PS5 Pro don't come with a disc drive, so you'll need to buy the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 for AU$124.95 to tack onto the side.

If you want a console right now: all relevant retailers are listed below, as well as the respective bundles available.

Best PS5 deal right now

PS5 Slim (disc) with Astro Bot bundle
PS5 Slim (disc) with Astro Bot bundle: AU$799 at Amazon

Though it was down to AU$699 earlier this month 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$938.95 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, but stock on that is scarce at the moment. If you have a Big W outlet nearby, it's worth checking if they have stock of this bundle for AU$2724, though it doesn't seem to be available online.

As far as online outlets are concerned, Amazon reliably has PS5 stock, and it tends to be a little beneath the RRP most of the time, if only by a couple of bucks. Prices tend to fluctuate, so if you're not happy with today's price, check back tomorrow.

This big Aussie retailer can usually be relied on to have stock in-store. If you're looking for the Astro Bot PS5 bundle for AU$724, Big W still seems to have some small in-store allocation.

EB Games is another good option if you'd prefer to buy your console at a bricks and mortar store, though their online offerings tend not to see the (admittedly small) discounts seen on dedicated online shopfronts.
