PLAYSTATION 5 PRICE IN NIGERIA
Before I state the price of the PlayStation 5, note that there are two variants which are the PS5 original and the PS5 Slim. Both of them have a disc edition and a digital edition.
They have no difference in specifications, just that one has a disc tray while the digital version doesn't (both PS5 Original and PS5 Slim). They are, however, different when it comes to price. With that being said, we can proceed.
See prices below:
– PS5 Original: this is the original PS5 console and costs about N700k-800k.

The above prices were taken from physical vendors on the Jiji marketplace and Jumia online store. Remember, it's an estimated price, price may be higher or lower due to factors such as storage, version and more. However, it will revolve around the mentioned prices above.
THE LOCALLY/FOREIGN USED MARKET
Though not much different from a brand new one, vendors can sell a used PS5 for a little bit lower price starting from N450k and above. It all depends on numerous factors like I always say.
