Good news: the period of waiting patiently (or otherwise) for PS5 restocks is over! 2023 saw the stock problems basically go away, and we're expecting that to continue into 2024 as well. That's right folks: if you want a PS5, only your budget stands in the way.
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. Still, throughout last year we saw semi-regular and substantial discounts on PS5 in Australia.
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.
The good news? If you buy a digital PS5 and change your mind, there's now a Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 available that you can tack onto the side.
If you want a console right now: all relevant retailers are listed below, as well as the respective bundles available.
