Astro Bot, one of the most acclaimed PS5 games of 2024, is now available in a bundle with a digital PS5 at an unbeatable price. The game, which took many by surprise last year, has received rave reviews from critics.
Renowned platforms like Eurogamer awarded the game a perfect score of 5 out of 5, lauding its creativity, craftsmanship, and universally enjoyable gameplay. If you've been considering upgrading your old, bulky PS5, this could be the perfect deal for you.
The Astro Bot bundle is currently available on PlayStation Direct for £339.99, essentially offering the game for free. The package includes a slim digital PS5 with a 1TB SSD, representing excellent value for money.

However, bear in mind that as it's a digital console, you won't be able to play discs unless you purchase an additional disc drive for an extra £100. You'll also need to download the game, so ensure you have an internet connection.
On the bright side, the bundle comes with free express delivery, meaning you can expect the console at your doorstep the next day.
However, if you're looking for some alternatives - you can get them right now. You can get the PS5 Pro from EE for £659 in a new price drop. And if you've been thinking about getting Astro Bot, Amazon is selling the game for slightly under £50.
The PS5 Slim is celebrated for its performance and, operating identically to its predecessor, it allows you to indulge in all your favourite PS5 games but in a more streamlined form. However, a word of caution: if you're keen on playing discs, you'll require a disc drive with this PS5 variant, and the availability of the disc drive attachment is somewhat scarce, so keep this in mind when planning your purchase.
This mirrors the predicament that potential PS5 Pro buyers may encounter. The console comes with 1TB of built-in SSD storage, enabling you to have your top games at the ready for immediate play, and experience seamless, dynamic gameplay at up to 120fps for compatible games, with support for 120Hz output on 4K displays.
However, the PS5 slim isn't the latest or most advanced console and if you're a slightly more dedicated gamer who prioritises performance, we suggest opting for the PS5 Pro, which is available from EE right here.
The PS5 Pro boasts marginally superior and faster hardware for gamers seeking enhanced resolution and framerates - and it's certainly worth the investment if you can afford it.
