I have a PS4 Pro and almost exclusively only play Gran Turismo 7 on it. Loving the new Spec II update which makes it the game it should always have been.

Almost pulled the trigger on a PS5 a couple of months ago when the disc edition was £389 for a few weeks before going back up in price.

With the imminent release of the PS5 Slim and with Black Friday coming up I expect another good deal soon.

Deciding whether to go for the disc edition as means I can buy used games cheaper than digital only from Sony or whether to just buy a digital edition on the basis I don’t play many different games.

I wonder whether it is worth it at all for £350-£400 to play Gran Turismo 7 on a PS5 rather than PS4 Pro…

I looked on EE’s website for this deal, but unfortunately they had sold out. So, I googled PS5 bundles and found that very are doing the same bundle but for £10 more.

Modern Warfare 3 is released this Friday and is £61.99 on Amazon. A PS5 disc edition console is currently £479 so a total of £541.

Thanks to your replies I have ordered the PS5 disc edition MW3 bundle from John Lewis for £410 including delivery on Friday saving £131 in total. I think can upgrade my ps4 version of Gran Turismo 7 to the ps5 version for free.

Great saving and was happy to take the plunge at that price! Continuing my running owning every PlayStation since the original PS1…

For anyone currently after one of these, Smyths has these as a black friday item at £379 for the disc edition without any games, probably clearing out stock before new version comes out.

There is a huge surplus of PS5 stock apparently. And now retailers may be stuck with the old model as the slim starts coming in. Under £400 is an absolute bargain though.

GT7 isn’t visually much better on PS5, but the loading times are incredible, well there aren’t any. Everything loads instantly. I’ve found that on every game. From being switched off to actually racing is less than a minute.

Probably most people will be more than happy with a nice price discount on the behemoth vs the nicer size of the Slim model. Actually, a lot of purchasers (Christmas present buyers) may not even know about the Slim model coming down the line.

I got the PS5 and Spider-Man deal from EE for £410, I’m sure I saw it for less than that somewhere on Friday, but many places now sold out.

I ordered from EE yesterday, arrived today via DPD, just checked the box and it’s a PS5 slim too.

Sadly I have to give it to the wife now so she can wrap it for Xmas.

Yes it wouldn’t bother me, the slim doesn’t have anything to offer over the OG apart from its smaller size.
