Anti-Prime Deal: Get a PS5 Slim and One of My Favorite Games for $106 Off With This Walmart Discount
Astro Bot is easily one of the best showcases of the PS5 Slim’s features and performance. Score both the game and the console together for just $453 today at Walmart.
If you’ve been on the fence about jumping into the current generation of 4K console gaming (or have been waiting for a good time to add a Sony PlayStation 5 to your gaming arsenal), today is a good day to make your move. As part of its anti-Prime Day counteroffensive, Walmart has the PS5 Slim console with Astro Bot bundle (packing in one of my favorite games on the platform) for $453, a massive $106 discount.
The PS5 boasts impressive graphic horsepower, and the slim variant on offer packs that power into a smaller, more shelf-friendly package. This is also the version that retains its optical disc drive, so you’ll still be able to borrow physical games from friends or save money by picking up pre-owned copies of older favorites.
However, the features that most capture my attention are packed into the console’s included DualSense wireless controller. The controller features haptic triggers, an evolution of the familiar rumble feedback that adds variable resistance and feel to the left and right trigger buttons. It’s the sort of thing you have to feel to truly understand. Fortunately, the adorable Astro Bot — one of the showcases of everything the console and controller’s haptics can do — is included in the bundle.

Astro Bot is the sequel to the pack-in Astro’s Playroom, building out the world of PlayStation’s cutesy robotic mascot with platforming stages that showcase the PS5’s motion controls, haptic feedback, touchpad and more. If the PS5 supports a feature, Astro Bot puts it through its paces. The gameplay is easy enough for novices or younger gamers to enjoy, while the visuals, clever mechanics and challenge modes kept me, a well-seasoned gamer, delighted for hours on end. Not just a glorified tech demo, this game is also a love letter to PlayStation’s storied 30-plus year history with cameo appearances by dozens of characters from beloved first- and third-party titles.
Why this deal matters
Walmart’s PS5 Slim and Astro Bot bundle offers a significant discount, saving you approximately $106 compared to purchasing the console and game separately at their regular prices. This substantial saving means you’ll have enough extra cash to grab two additional games from Sony’s extensive PlayStation catalog, immediately expanding your gaming library and your fun.

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers
Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?
The answer is already here — eSIM.
Why eSIM Is So Convenient
eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel
Now your internet travels with you.

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.
Why It Matters Most in Summer
During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.
eSIM solves this problem:

* activation in 1–2 minutes
