Yes, please. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. (Image credit: Sony/Team ASOBI ) I closely follow PS5 deals for this very website, and even I'm surprised by this banger. Amazon is currently selling a newly minted PS5 / Astro Bot bundle for AU$679, which is astounding value. The PS5 Slim (with disc!) generally RRPs for AU$799, and Astro Bot itself rarely drops below the AU$89 mark. The maths is kinda obvious on this one. On any normal day you'd be spending up to AU$908.95 for what's in this bundle, though more realistically, AU$888.95, since Amazon usually sells Astro Bot for AU$89. It also helps that Astro Bot is a brilliant game. Our review goes so far as to claim it could "possibly surpass" Nintendo's 3D Mario games (I would remove the "possibly" from this, though I realise that's controversial). This isn't technically a record low for the PS5 itself: it was down to AU$629 in November last year. But that was a standalone disc unit with no game bundled in. When the cost of Astro Bot is factored in, I'd go out on a limb and say this is the best PS5 deal I've ever seen. You may like Sony just dropped new PS5 Astro Bot console bundles with the best savings I've seen in a year The best PS5 bundles and deals in March 2025 PS5 Slim (disc) with Astro Bot bundle: was AU$724.95 now AU$679 at Amazon This is a brilliant price for a PS5 Slim disc model and Astro Bot. The total value on this would be AU$908.95 when the RRPs of both bundled items are taken into account, so it's a whopping discount by every measure. It helps a lot that Astro Bot was the best PS5 exclusive of 2024. Yes, it may come to PC some day, but right now, you'll need a PS5 to play it. The PS5 digital edition also has an Astro Bot bundle for AU$579. Considering the PlayStation Disc Drive usually retails for AU$159, I'd strongly advise going for the disc version instead. If you'd prefer to walk into a store and buy this bundle, JB Hi-Fi is also offloading it for AU$679. It's a big morning for PS5 deals. Amazon just kicked off its Big Smile sale and is discounting its digital gift cards. It's well worth a look, especially if you're looking to buy a big blockbuster game digitally and want an extra AU$20 store credit. There's also some decent discounts on recent blockbusters, such as: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2: AU$109.95 AU$59 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: AU$109.95 AU$59 Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more Contact me with news and offers from other Future brandsReceive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsorsBy submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.
