Hunting for the best deals and finding the best PS5 price remains a hot topic in South Africa. While retail prices remain mostly unchanged, MobiTraderSA continues to make gaming affordable.
The introduction of the new PS5 Slim was expected to decrease the price of the first generation console, but PS5 prices in South Africa have gone up due to the economy and poor performance against the American Dollar exchange. Read more about the price increase on the PlayStation blog page.
While some retailers such as Takealot have run multiple specials on the older model, saving rarely make the PS5 price affordable for most South Africans.
At the time of launching in 2020, the price of the PS5 in South Africa was R9,999 for the PS5 Digital and R11,999 for the Disc Edition. In 2024, you can expect to pay around 10% more for the same console. The first generation PS5 Digital sells for R10,999 at popular retailers such as Game while the PS5 Disc Version price comes in at R12,999.
The newer PS5 Slim prices are higher, starting from R11,999 for the PS5 Digital and R13,999 for the PS5 Disc Version. Updating the PS5 Slim Digital to the Disc Version would set you back an additional R2,799 to R3,499 depending on specials in South Africa.
