Looking for the least expensive PlayStation 5 console you can your hands on? As part of its US Anniversary Sale, AliExpress is offering an imported Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition gaming console for $383.71 shipped after $80 off coupon code "MAYUE008". Alternatively, you can get the Digital Edition for $353.05. This is a brand new and retail boxed product that is stocked in a US warehouse and qualifies for local delivery, which means it ships free and arrives quickly.
This genuine PlayStation console is imported from another country, however it will play in the US without any modifications. That's because region locking is determined by your PlayStation account, not by your system hardware. You'll also be able to select English as your default language just like any console you buy here. Note that imported consoles have an overseas warranty that won't be honored here in the United States. Fortunately, AliExpress has a 15-day free return policy and guarantees a refund if your order doesn't arrive within 20 days.

Is It Safe to Buy From AliExpress?
AliExpress as a whole is a legitimate website, but since it is a marketplace comprised of individual sellers, you have to make sure that the vendor you're buying from is reputable. In many cases, the easiest way to do so is to look at the seller's rating and history. In terms of the products we've listed in this article, while it's true that some of the sellers may not have many reviews, AliExpress has reached out to us and personally vetted these vendors, which is why we feel comfortable promoting them. AliExpress also offers a 15 to 90 day free return policy depending on the product.

The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted, but at least you can save on a used one. Amazon Resale (a rebranded Amazon Warehouse) currently has Used: Like New condition PS Portals in stock for only $150.23 shipped. It retails for $199 new, so that's a substantial 20% in savings. A Sony warranty may or may not be included, but Amazon Resale items benefit from the same 30-day return policy you get for buying a new item. We expect this item to sell out pretty quickly.
SteelSeries is also taking 35% off both PS5 and Xbox editions of its SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Destiny 2: The Final Shape Edition wireless gaming headsets.
