It looks like eBay has teamed up with PlayStation to help give it some much-needed boost and reach its absurd sales target for the PlayStation 5 to end the current fiscal year.
A little over two months after it first released the slimmer version of the PS5, eBay is starting the year with a massive discount for the industry-leading console.
This offering puts this coveted console at its lowest price over, making it the perfect time for enthusiasts to upgrade their setup, especially ahead of the release of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on January 19.
Released in late 2023 as a sleeker alternative to the original PlayStation 5, the PS5 Slim has quickly gained popularity among gamers for its compact design and high performance. eBay’s promotion should only help Sony move more units of the new console now that it has officially replaced the older version.
Running from January 5-10, users can input the code “JANJOY15” to get a 15% discount on the PS5 Slim, among other products, on the platform. This discount code applies to both the disc-based and digital-only versions. The disc version of the PS5 Slim, initially priced at £437.85, is now available at a reduced price of £437.95, while the digital-only version, originally £350.92, can be purchased at an even lower cost thanks to the same code.
It’s essential for buyers to input this code at checkout to benefit from the discount. eBay has made it user-friendly by automatically inserting the code during the payment process for eligible products. This promotion is not just limited to the PlayStation 5 Slim but extends to a range of other products from selected sellers, offering buyers a chance to make significant savings on various items.
The PS5 Slim, already known for its impressive features such as super-fast loading times and 4K resolution gameplay, addresses one of the main critiques of the original PS5 – its bulky design. The Slim model’s more compact form factor makes it a more convenient and aesthetically pleasing option for gamers. The console maintains the same high-quality performance as the original PS5, ensuring that players do not have to compromise on gaming experience for the sake of design.
Moreover, the PS5 Slim is available in two versions – one with a disc drive and the other as a digital-only console. This variation caters to the different preferences of gamers, with the digital-only model offering an even more space-efficient design by eliminating the disc drive.
This eBay promotion, with a minimum purchase requirement of £15, allows a maximum discount of £75 per redemption. Each registered user can redeem the code up to three times, making it an attractive deal for those looking to make multiple purchases.
The combination of the PS5 Slim’s improved design, advanced features, and eBay’s limited-time offer makes it quite the particularly tempting option for those in the market for a new gaming console.
Of course, if you already own a PS5, we recommend holding out for the mid-cycle refresh. The long-rumored PS5 Pro was recently hinted at by a massive leak stemming from Insomniac Games’ data breach before 2023 ended. Sony isn’t expected to reveal the PS5 Pro until much later this year, presumably less than two months before its official launch.
