The PlayStation 5 Slim hardly ever sees a price cut. For AliExpress’s big 16th anniversary event, the console is listed at a seriously competitive price-an ideal opportunity if you want to save money on one of the best living-room consoles.
AliExpress 16th anniversary deal on the PlayStation 5 Slim
From 16 to 25 March, AliExpress is running a set of particularly strong offers to mark its 16th anniversary, with the PS5 Slim featured in both versions.
Starting this Sunday night at midnight, Sony’s console drops to €432 instead of €549 for the Standard model by using the code FRAS60 or ASFR60. And if you pay via PayPal, you get an extra €33 off, bringing the price down to €399.
The PlayStation 5 rarely goes on promotion, and when it does, stock tends not to last long. If you want to take advantage of this reduced price, it’s worth ordering quickly.
AliExpress also includes several order benefits: free, fast delivery; a free 15-day return with a full refund; the option to pay in instalments at no extra cost; and a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
The ultimate living-room console
The PlayStation 5 launched in 2020, but since November 2023 it has been replaced by the PlayStation 5 Slim. This version keeps the same core experience in a smaller, modular design, and it comes in two editions: one with an integrated Blu-ray disc drive (Standard) and one without (Digital).
PS5 Slim Standard vs Digital: which model suits you?
If you want to play physical PS5 or PS4 games, or watch Blu-ray films, the Standard edition is the obvious choice. As its name suggests, the PS5 Digital only lets you play digital games downloaded from the PlayStation Store. That said, you can still buy a disc drive later and attach it to the PS5 Digital edition if you change your mind.
Performance, storage and the game catalogue
Beyond the disc drive, both editions share the same technical foundations. You get outstanding 4K visuals at 60 FPS, and up to 120 FPS in a small selection of games-ideal for making the most of the latest blockbuster releases. The ultra-fast SSD also keeps loading times almost non-existent.
As for storage, the Standard version has 1 TB capacity (848 GB usable), while the Digital version offers 825 GB (667 GB usable). Another major strength of the PlayStation 5 is its broad library, packed with exclusives. Iconic series include Uncharted, Horizon, God of War, and The Last of Us.
Sony’s console also comes with the DualSense controller, widely praised for its comfort and the features designed to boost immersion: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D audio.
The PS5 can also be paired with the PS VR2, a virtual reality headset that lets you enjoy highly realistic gaming experiences. If you’re looking to buy one of the best living-room consoles in 2026, this is a deal worth snapping up.
