While the PS5 Pro will launch next month, there are some banging PS5 console deals currently running on the PS5 Slim model over at PlayStation Direct that may be more up your street if you've been eyeing up a way into PlayStation this generation.

Right now you can buy the PS5 Slim for $449.99 (was $499.99) at PlayStation Direct and the PS5 Digital Edition for $399.99 (was $449.99).

If you're looking to get a sports-focused bundle, then you're in luck too with the PS5 Digital Edtion NBA2K25 Bundle for $449.99 (was $499.99) at PlayStation Direct.

The UK also has some big savings. The PS5 is now £429.99 (was £479.99) at PlayStation Direct, along with the PS5 Digital Edition for £339.99 (was £389.99).

Even away from the Amazon Prime Day deals, these offerings are great and budget-friendly if you're not prepared to invest in a PS5 Pro, saving you at least $50 / £50 respectively ahead of the holiday season.
