Amazon France has opened a very interesting promotion that will allow us to buy a PS5 Slim with optical drive for 474.99 euros, one of the lowest prices this console has had since launch. The offer is temporary, meaning it will only be available for a limited time or while supplies last, but units were available at the time of writing.

If you want to get a unit, you can do so without any problem because It is possible to buy on Amazon France from Spain and get the product with all guarantees, I can confirm this as I actually pre-ordered a Mega Drive Mini 2 this way and the product arrived in perfect condition on the due date.

Also, you won’t have to worry about your PS5 Slim working properly or a language problem because you can choose Spanish during the configuration process. However, keep in mind that shipping costs are 11.94 euros, an acceptable amount considering how good the offer is and that this version not only has an optical drive but also a 1TB SSD.

I looked at several Spanish dealers and at the moment I haven’t seen any similar offer, so it is clear that this is a specific measure of Amazon France. However, this does not mean that we will not see similar offers in Spain in the short or medium term, as happened, for example, in the summer of last year.

Consoles always eventually come down in price over time, although this is true in the case of the PS5 reality has completely changed, because it was the first console to go up in price years after launch, and because Sony refuses to lower its price. Its dominance in the current generation of consoles allows it to do pretty much anything it wants, and that’s ultimately not good for the consumer.

I don’t think the price of the PS5 Slim will drop permanently until the PS5 Pro arrivesand the truth is that I also seriously doubt that this will happen, because it is possible that Sony will choose to launch the PS5 Pro at a high price so that it does not have to reduce the price of the Slim version either.
