Not confined to one retailer, Walmart is extending an offer that includes "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III," bundling an accessible accessory for a total of £495 (converted from $609). Contradicting earlier rumors of a US-exclusive launch, bundles with "Modern Warfare III" are also popping up in Canada, tagged at an equivalent price of £499 (converted from $650 CAD). Last month, Sony tantalized fans with news of a November release for these slimmer editions, leaving many anticipating the moment they become available on Sony's official online store.

Highlighting a significant 30% reduction in overall volume, these latest PlayStation 5 units are impressively 18% to 24% lighter than their earlier counterparts.

The New Era of Gaming with PS5 Slim

The digital-only version of the new PS5 retails at £366 (converted from $450), reflecting a modest hike of £41 (converted from $50) from the previous model. This allows users the future option to add physical game disc or Blu-ray capacity with a separately sold disc drive priced at £65 (converted from $80). Sony has indicated plans to phase out the original PS5 consoles once existing inventories run out, signaling a limited window for those interested in the more affordable digital option.

For those opting for the PS5 Slim, additional accessories such as a vertical stand priced at £24 (converted from $30) may be purchased. Alternative plastic clips can also be acquired for better horizontal placement. Sony aims to not just appeal to gaming audiences but to provide a selection that meets a variety of preferences and requirements in today's dynamic gaming world.
