If you aren’t interested in fighting the crowds for a new PS5 Slim model, keep in mind that the Spider-Man 2 bundle with a standard PS5 console is readily available via the retailer links listed below for the same $499.99. It may drop further in price during the holiday season, though stock may be limited:
Also keep in mind that a custom Spider-Man 2 PS5 console bundle was produced that features a complete symbiote takeover on one side of the console, which is creeping ever closer to the Spider-Man icon on the other side. The controller features a similar hybrid design, though the symbiote has almost fully bonded. The console will also come with a digital voucher for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Standard Edition. The aforementioned console covers were also made available for those who have a standard PS5. At the time of writing many of these options are unavailable at retailers, but you can check out the current status via the following links.
- Spider-Man 2 PS5 Console on Amazon / Controller / Console Covers may or may not be available here at some point.
- Spider-Man 2 PS5 at Walmart / Console Covers / Controller
- Spider-Man 2 PS5 at GameStop / Console Covers / Controller
- Spider-Man 2 PS5 at Best Buy / Console Covers / Controller

- Note that PS5 console covers won’t work with the new Slim model, so if you manage to get the Spider-Man 2 covers you’ll want to stick with the original console.
What’s New With the PS5 Slim?
“To address the evolving needs of players, our engineering and design teams collaborated on a new form factor that provides greater choice and flexibility,” said Sony in its announcement on the PlayStation Blog. “The same technology features that make PS5 the best to play are packed into a smaller form factor, along with an attachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive and a 1TB SSD for more internal storage. The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte. If you purchase the PS5 Digital Edition, you can add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, as it will also be sold separately for $79.99.”
