Is the PS5 Slim worth it over the original PS5?

If you are buying new, yes: it is smaller, has a 1TB SSD and the same performance. If you already own a PS5, there is little reason to switch.

Does the disc drive come attached?

Yes, the bundle ships with the disc drive fitted, and you can remove it later to use the console as a digital edition.

Is a vertical stand included?

Not always. Check the box contents; Sony sells the stand separately in some regions.

Can it play PS4 games?

Yes, most PS4 discs and digital games run on the PS5, and many get performance boosts.

The PS5 Slim console with disc drive, one DualSense controller, an HDMI cable, a power cable, the stand where included, and a copy of NBA 2K26.

When is the best time to buy this bundle?

Sports-game bundles tend to drop after the NBA season starts and during Black Friday sales. Track the price history before buying.

Our take on the Sony Playstation 5 Slim Disc Bundle Nba 2K26 Game

This is the slim PS5 with a disc drive, bundled with a copy of NBA 2K26. The slim model is about 30% smaller than the original PS5 and has a 1TB SSD, up from 825GB. The disc drive can be detached, and the console runs PS5 games at up to 4K 120Hz on supported TVs. It is the standard pick for shoppers who want physical discs and a current-gen console in one purchase.

What reviewers say

Owners of the slim PS5 generally rate it highly for its smaller size, quieter running and larger SSD. The detachable drive and the need to buy a stand draw some complaints, and the bundled sports game is seen as a nice extra rather than a reason to buy.
