PS5 Astro Bot Bundle Holds Strong at £329 Amid Price Hikes in the UK Today
You can get ahead of Sony’s new high price for the digital PS5 by getting this Astro Bot console bundle for only £329, saving you £160 compared to buying them individually.
Sony has officially raised the price of the PS5 Slim Digital Edition by £40, bringing it to £429.99 as of today. But if you're looking to grab a console right now, and dodge the sting of that hike, EE has a bundle that seriously stands out. For £329, you get the console plus Astro Bot, a game still going for £59.99 on the PlayStation Store. That’s a total saving of £160.
Discounts this deep on current-gen hardware don’t come around often, especially not in today's economic climate. Sony chalks the price bump up to inflation and currency fluctuations, but for players looking to buy smart, this bundle feels like a win. Other retailers like Currys and Argos had a similar deal available for around £10 more, but have run out of stock already today. It's likely both won't restock these SKUs at the old price, making EE's the go-to bargain. If you’ve been holding out for the right moment to jump in, this might be it. It’s still in stock as of writing, but deals like this don’t tend to hang around, especially in the current market. EE could also end up adjusting the price tag as well in light of the unpredictable landscape of pricing. If you've been on the fence about buying a PS5, before these new prices take hold across UK retailers, we recommend grabbing one of these bundles as soon as possible to get as much value as you can. Speaking of the PS5 disc drive, the announcement also stated its UK price will be going down from £99.99 to £69.99. Like with the aforementioned console, the pricing change hasn't seemed to have gone through with retailers yet, but we will update this article as soon as they do.
