PlayStation 5 Slim £20 discount today

Get the scoop on Sony's new PS5 Slim, already discounted for Black Friday. But act fast - offer expires at midnight!

Sony's upcoming PS5 Slim has already received a Black Friday discount, despite the fact that it has just started taking pre-orders. The new, slimmer version of the PlayStation 5 comes with a detachable disc drive and has been criticized for not being significantly smaller than the original. However, Currys has unexpectedly put the PS5 Slim up for pre-order with a £20 reduction, using the code SLIM20, bringing the price down to £459 from the original £479. This discount is particularly noteworthy as it is rare to see hardware that hasn't even been released yet receive a discount. The PS5 Slim comes with a disc drive, DualSense wireless controller, and 1TB of storage, just like its predecessor. While Currys seems to be the only retailer offering a standalone discount for the PS5 Slim, Very is offering a bundle that includes Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway for £479. Despite the modest discount, it is still significant given that the console is brand new and only available for one day. This unexpected discount is a testament to the unpredictable nature of Black Friday sales.
