EB Games have started their PlayStation sales, and generally the prices on their eBay store will also update accordingly. Posting early for OzBargainers to plan their purchase once the system syncs

Has it though..
its interesting how the old ps5 with disc drive and stand had gone up in value again they seem to be selling for between 500 and 800 bucks now. Brand new though they seem to be listing them for 950 to 1000 or more.
is this because of the jailbreak scene or just that the og models are more rare?
since they don't manufacture the old ones since slim came out aye.
I’m semi tempted on the Pro at that price
PS5 Pro and disc drive bundle at $999 and I’m 50% of the way in clicking the “Buy” button.
Link?
Link?
No link, not an actual deal (yet).
Still a lot of money to spend on a console with only a few years left in its life. Especially only to get a few more pixels and/or frames.
Yeah but gta 6! Oh wait …
Yeah by then if microsoft are smart they bring out a more powerful 'pro' system.
Probably get it for the PS7 Pro
few years left in its life.
Based on what?
The PS5 was released in 2020 and game production for the PS4 only just stopped this year.
Using that same logic, when the next console generation is released, the PS5 should still be relevant for 4-5 years following that.
If you buy games for previous gen then yeah your point is fair. In my experience most offload their console to buy the latest version and play the games they were meant to be played.
Real “wait for switch 2” vibes from back in 2020
This is enough for me to pull the trigger.
What PS5 exclusives are really worth playing? are not the newer games just "remakes" with maybe better graphics to Ps3/Ps4??
is it worth the wait when the PS6 cums out, then get a PS5 when there are more titles to play?
Returnal (best PS5 exclusive game IMHO), GoW Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West.
Returnal is not that great man. Horizon is just too easy. Gow is good tho.
Recturnal is amazing
@CptnObvious: forgive me but the idea of a guy delivering amazon packages while looking after a toddler does not sound like an appealing game
@smartProverble: You are thinking of another game. This is recturnal. It makes your bottom tingly when you beat a boss.
All of the games listed here are also on PC now. The 2 exclusives I can think of on top of my head are GT7 and Astrobot.
Nah even GT7 is on PS4, and plays great.
Ragnarok and Forbidden West are both on PS4 also.
Other than Returnal the only one I can think of is Ghostwire Tokyo.
If you still have a PS4 backlog then you may as well just wait until at least GTA 6 (or something that actually sells the system to you)
I recently upgraded only due to getting a 30th Anniversary Slim, really not that impressed coming from a PS4 Pro.
If you have a massive high end TV capable of the max PS5 specs then maybe it's worth the upgrade though…?
Maybe a bad example, but after 150 hours in F1 23 PS4 I switched to the PS5 version of F1 24 and it looks and plays exactly the same (27" 4K HRD monitors) lol (apart from being quieter).
When researching it seems most cross-gen releases are not that much different PS4 Pro vs PS5, so mainly only a handful of true exclusives.
Ghostwire is also on PC and Xbox.
Console prices have forever increased in price after COVID, so it doesn’t really matter whether you buy a PS6 or PS5, since both will remain expensive.
IMO, see if you can get a PS5 for cheaper from the second hand market.
What does the SSNOW code do for all stock?
It’s a spend and save code offered by eBay
I waited so long for a sale before I bought my Pro. After 2 weeks of Days of Play, with no sign of a sale in sight in Australia, I just bit the bullet. Bought it for RRP.
This one hurts
same, but i will never pay rrp, bought 3 months used 800
lamest console ever. My NBN was down for like 3 days. Ahh, okay no worries ill just play ps5 single player games. Nope, cant even launch anything without active internet connection.
Running doom on msdos still holds up better than a ps5…
You couldn't hot-spot from your phone for 2mins? Yeesh
If you're playing something you purchased—either a digital or disc version—it should work fine. I’m guessing you were trying to launch one of the free games from your PSN subscription, and it didn’t work. In general, the PS5 is a better version of the PS4, so if you're enjoying your PS5, you should be happy that it runs more games more smoothly.
just activate your account offline gaming mode in settings
Thanks OP. Been waiting to get the Pro for less than 1K.
Same here. This will have to do.
Absolute legend @BargainsGrabber
I was going to get the $599 trade deal yesterday but this is much better.
A noob question. Is it worth getting a pro when i have an old sony tv 75X8500G? Thanks in advance
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x850g
Peak brightness and black uniformity were the only problems with that TV being an IPS panel.
Should that stop you from purchasing the Pro? Not IMO.
Thank you!
I still see PC gaming as the most popular and versatile. Deals like this look tempting just to try out exclusive games.
And the most expensive. I miss PC gaming, but the ease of consoles does it for me.
yes, I blame it on crypto miner and AI boom, make graphic card very expensive

Member when the OG ps5 with disc and Spiderman 2 physical was $504 including shipping?
Have a Switch for kids - 10 and 7. Keen to buy this to get into playing myself but would it be too early for the kids? 7 year old now mostly plays games on the Mac - mostly Roblox but seems keen to get more into gaming
More like too late. My brothers kids are around that age and have no issue with the PS5. Do it!
shame can't stack with trade in deal
Thanks BG! Cancelled my Amazon PS 5 order to get this one.
I've bought the 4Gamers vertical stand, from Big W, for the PS5.

Seems pretty good. Nice and sturdy. Also cheap!
Its started.
