If you’ve been holding out on picking up a PS5, upgrading to the Slim model or nabbing a PlayStation VR2 (especially now that they’ll be PC compatible), your time might be coming soon with Big W’s latest catalogue arriving at Aussie doorsteps early and revealing some pretty hot deals on PlayStation hardware.
You’ll be able to get the new “Slim” PS5 console for sub-$600 if you’re happy to go digital, or just under $700 with a disc drive, with prices among the best we’ve seen yet on the newer iteration of the PS5.
The PlayStation VR2 is also going for a bargain at $699, a clear $180 saving. Take a look at the official hardware deals coming up when the catalogue starts on June 11th:
Naturally, we’d expect these deals to be reflected at other retailers around the same time, so we’ll update as more appears. You can check out our roundup of the rest of the gaming deals in Big W’s upcoming Big Whopping Toy Sale Catalogue right here.
In my review of the recently-released, slimmer PS5 console I said, “For the vast majority of existing PS5 owners, the new slimmer model isn’t going to inspire any real need for an upgrade – but that’s hardly the point. PlayStation’s not only taken the opportunity to squeeze the immense size of the console down to a more reasonable volume, but added some welcome improvements along the way, meaning those looking to pick up a PS5 for the first time or add another to their household are getting an even better version of an already-great machine.”
