Mascom International stocks the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition at KSh 110,000, brand new and sealed, with a built-in Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, a 1TB SSD and 4K output at up to 120Hz. This is Sony's smaller redesign of the PS5, about 96mm tall lying flat and roughly 3.2kg, keeping the same AMD processor, 10.3-teraflop graphics and 16GB of memory as the original. The PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition reads PS5 discs, supported PS4 discs, Blu-ray films and DVDs. Visit our showroom in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, to see one running a game.
Designed for families and players who like owning games on a shelf, the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition handles new releases, older PS4 favourites and 4K film nights from one box. Many Kenyan homes run on capped or shared internet, and a large game download can take days. A disc solves part of that problem, because the game installs from the disc and only the patch comes over the network. Friends in Nakuru or Eldoret can swap finished games instead of paying full price each time, and reselling a disc returns part of what it cost.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that leave warranty claims vague, Mascom International sells the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition factory sealed, with a 12-month warranty handled in Nairobi CBD. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers choose the disc model because the drive is already built in, saving KSh 7,000 over buying the digital console and adding the KSh 17,000 PS5 Disc Drive later. Come test the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition at our Kimathi Street store, or order on WhatsApp and settle the bill only after the console reaches you.
Common Questions About the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition
What is the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition price in Kenya?
The PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition is priced at KSh 110,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and factory sealed. You get the console with its Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, a DualSense controller, HDMI, power and USB-C cables, and a 12-month warranty. Payment happens on arrival, after you check the box. The PlayStation 5 Slim 30th Anniversary Edition and the PlayStation 5 Slim Wolverine Edition each cost KSh 113,000, just KSh 3,000 more, while the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition costs KSh 10,000 less at KSh 100,000.
PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition or PlayStation 5 Pro: which should I buy?
Choose the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition for full PS5 gaming and disc playback at KSh 110,000, and the PlayStation 5 Pro at KSh 190,000 only if you own a large 4K TV and want sharper, smoother visuals. The Pro carries a stronger graphics chip and improved ray tracing, but it ships without a disc drive. Physical games on the Pro need the KSh 17,000 PS5 Disc Drive, bringing that setup to KSh 207,000, which is KSh 97,000 more. For most homes with a mid-range TV, the Slim gives better value.
Will KPLC power cuts damage the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition?
A sudden KPLC outage rarely breaks the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition, but it can corrupt a game install or a save file being written. After an improper shutdown, the console may run a check before you can play again. A UPS gives you minutes to save and shut down properly, and a surge protector guards against the spikes that often follow an outage. Mascom International stocks UPS units that suit a console and TV. Buyers in Mombasa should also keep the console off the floor, away from coastal humidity and dust.
What discs can the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition play?
The PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition plays PS5 game discs, supported PS4 game discs, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray films, standard Blu-ray and DVD. Each Ultra HD Blu-ray disc holds up to 100GB, which is why disc films often look cleaner than streamed ones. It does not play audio CDs or burned discs. Games still install to the SSD from the disc, and most need a patch download before first play. Film nights in Upper Hill or South B apartments use no internet data at all, since the movie reads straight from the disc.
Can I sell or swap games bought for the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition?
Yes. Physical games bought for the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition belong to you, so you can lend, swap or resell them. That is the biggest money advantage of the disc model: a finished game becomes credit toward the next one. Kenyan gaming groups on WhatsApp and Facebook trade used PS5 discs daily, and popular titles tend to find a buyer quickly. Digital purchases, by contrast, stay locked to one PlayStation account. Keep discs in their cases, because scratches from dusty shelves can stop a disc from reading.
Who is the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition right for, and who should skip it?
The PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition is right for families, collectors and anyone on limited or shared internet who wants games on disc. Skip it if every game you own is digital and you have fast fibre at home: the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition plays the same games for KSh 10,000 less. Players with a high-end 4K TV chasing the sharpest image should consider the PlayStation 5 Pro. If you mainly want to play away from the TV, the PlayStation Portal at KSh 37,000 adds remote play but still needs a PS5.
Can the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition run virtual reality games?
Yes. The PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition works with PlayStation VR2, available at Mascom International for KSh 54,000. The headset plugs into the console's front USB-C port and comes with its own Sense controllers for tracking your hands. Together, console and headset cost KSh 164,000. VR games need clear floor space in front of the TV, so move the coffee table before you start. Gamers in Westlands and Kileleshwa visit our showroom to try the headset on a running console before committing to the pair.
Can the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition stand upright?
Yes, but the PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition needs Sony's vertical stand, sold separately, to stand on its end safely. The box includes two horizontal feet for laying it flat. Standing up, it takes less width on a narrow TV unit; lying down, it sits steadier in homes with children or pets. In either position, leave space around the vents so air moves freely. During hot months in Kisumu or Garissa, good airflow keeps the fans from spinning up loudly during long sessions.
Technical Specifications
Processor and Graphics
- AMD Zen 2 processor with eight cores and 16 threads at up to 3.5GHz — it runs game logic, physics and crowds without slowdowns.
- RDNA 2 graphics chip reaching 2.23GHz and 10.3 teraflops — the same graphics muscle as the original PS5, in a smaller body.
- Ray tracing built into the hardware — light, shadows and reflections are drawn the way they behave in the real world.
- 16GB of GDDR6 memory at 448GB/s — a large, quick memory pool that keeps detailed textures loaded while you move.
- Tempest 3D AudioTech — sound placed above, behind and beside you, so you can hear an enemy before you see one.
- Identical game speed to the digital model — the drive adds playback options, not a different level of performance.
Storage and Disc Drive
- Built-in Ultra HD Blu-ray drive — reads PS5 discs, supported PS4 discs, 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray and DVD films.
- Up to 100GB per Ultra HD Blu-ray disc — enough room for full 4K films at a higher quality than most streams.
- 1TB internal SSD — space for a healthy mix of large releases and smaller games, with some kept back for system files.
- 5.5GB/s raw read speed from the SSD — loading screens shrink to seconds, even in big open worlds.
- M.2 slot for a compatible NVMe SSD — expand storage yourself later instead of deleting games to make room.
- USB external storage — park PS5 games on a USB drive between sessions, or play PS4 games straight from it.
Display Output
- 4K at up to 120Hz over HDMI 2.1 — fast-moving racing and shooting games stay sharp and fluid on a compatible TV.
- Connects to 8K televisions — the console outputs to 8K sets, while games themselves mostly run at 4K.
- VRR support — the screen refreshes in step with the game, removing tearing when the frame rate dips.
- HDR picture — deeper contrast and richer highlights on an HDR TV, calibrated through the console's own setup screen.
- Film and streaming playback — Blu-ray discs and apps such as Netflix and YouTube turn the console into a home cinema player.
Controllers
- One DualSense wireless controller included — the official PS5 pad, with touch pad, motion sensors and a built-in microphone.
- Haptic feedback motors — vibration changes with what happens on screen, from footsteps on sand to a heavy impact.
- Adaptive triggers — resistance in the trigger buttons shifts with the action, such as a jammed gun or a tight brake.
- Recharge over USB-C — top up the battery from the console or the supplied cable between sessions.
- Headset jack and speaker on the pad — plug in any wired headset for voice chat without extra adapters.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi 6 wireless support — quicker, steadier downloads of patches and online matches with a current router.
- Wired gigabit Ethernet — the steadiest option for online play, with fewer dropouts than wireless.
- USB-C ports on the front, one running at 10Gbps — handy for charging pads or attaching a PlayStation VR2 headset.
- Two USB-A ports at the back, each at 10Gbps — for an external drive or other accessories you leave connected.
- HDMI output port — one cable carries 4K picture and multichannel sound to your TV or soundbar.
