Sony promised that its
slimmed down PlayStation 5 console would be available to purchase in time for the holidays, and sure enough it's now listed at several retailers. Even better, Sony and its retail partners are offering some sweet bundle deals. Specifically, you can pick up a 'PS5 Slim' with either
Spider-Man 2 or
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III included.
First things first—while we and others are calling the lighter-weight console a PS5 Slim, Sony is not. Instead, Sony simply states it is a "new look for the PS5 console" that will replace the bigger models it's been churning out since the PS5 released three years ago. Recent
teardown videos highlight the size difference, and also the fact that the newest iteration doesn't sport a die shrink like every previous Slim refresh did.
Nomenclature out of the way, now is your chance to score the latest revision and get a free game to boot. The
PS5 Slim + Spider-Man bundle is available for
$499.99 at Best Buy. There's also a
listing on Amazon, but right now it's only be sold by a third-party seller and for $100 more.
The bundle includes the latest iteration of the PS5 with a detachable Blu-ray disc drive, horizontal stand (vertical stand is not included), 1TB of storage, wireless DualSense controller, various cables and documentation, and a digital voucher to claim Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
You can also score a
PS5 Slim + Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle, priced at
$499.99 on Amazon (same price on
Best Buy, in case it sells out). Likewise, this bundle offer also includes the refreshed PS5 with features and goodies, but it comes with a digital voucher for
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III instead of
Marvel's Spider-Man 2. So it basically boils down to which game you prefer. Either way, this is a better deal than buying a non-bundle, as there's no difference in pricing.

We really like the Razer Hammerhead Pro HyperSpeed earbuds (see our
review), and this is the first discount for them that we've seen.
