Where to Buy a PS5 Before a Possible Price Hike – IGN
Following Microsoft’s out-of-the-blue announcement that it is raising Xbox console prices, people online started to worry about a similar possible price hike for the PS5. It’s already happened in other countries, after all. For anyone looking to pick up a PS5 console sooner rather than later, we’ve gathered up all the major retailers that currently have PS5 consoles in stock at MSRP.
At the moment, PS5 Disc, PS5 Digital, and PS5 Pro consoles are still widely available at a variety of different retailers, which we’ve broken down in a bit more detail below.

The standard PS5 Slim console with a disc drive is available for $499 at a variety of different retailers. It also comes with a DualSense Wireless Controller, 1TB SSD, and Astro’s Playroom pre-installed for you to jump into right off the bat.

If you’d prefer the all-digital version of the console, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition is available from select retailers for $449. This comes with the same items and features listed above with the standard PS5, but without the disc drive.

This is the ultimate version of the PlayStation 5. While it doesn’t have a disc drive, the digital PS5 Pro provides a performance and graphics boost to the console. That kind of power comes with a hefty price tag, though. At $699, this PS5 is a costly one, but if you’ve had your eye on the upgrade and don’t mind dropping that kind of cash, you can still find it at several different retailers.
If you’re still hoping to pick up an Xbox console at its old price, there are a few still available at a couple of retailers, but they won’t stay at these prices much longer. You’ll want to act fast to pick up the ones still left.
If you want to track down even more PlayStation items, it’s worth having a look at our breakdown of the best PS5 deals to see the latest discounts available. With prices on a variety of gaming items increasing, there’s no better time than now to take advantage of the offers available.
