Console Prices in Bahrain: PS5, Switch 2 and Handhelds Compared

The same console, shop by shop

New, in-stock prices in BHD from PriceTeq's product pages on 9 November 2026. Each row is one model, compared only where the shop links confirmed it was the same version; the lowest price is the cheapest shop's, the highest is anonymous.

PlayStation 5: one price almost everywhere

The PS5 Slim Digital Edition was the most evenly priced item we checked. Three shops asked BHD 246.90, a fourth BHD 246.99 and a fifth BHD 247. The lowest figure, BHD 244.90 at Games Corner, came from a price we had last checked five days earlier, so confirm it before you go.

The PS5 Slim with a disc drive sold at ten shops, and eight of them asked between BHD 267 and BHD 270; the middle price was BHD 269.50. The cheapest was BePro Store at BHD 265. Comparing the middle prices, the disc drive added BHD 22.60 to the cost of the console (BHD 269.50 against BHD 246.90).

• Digital or disc: if you buy games as downloads, the Digital Edition saves about BHD 22.60.
• Because the price barely moves between shops, compare what is in the box (a bundled game, a second controller) and the warranty instead.
• Several listings named only "PS5 Digital Edition" without saying Slim; we left those out because they may be the older model.

Nintendo: where shopping around pays

The Switch 2 (256 GB) cost BHD 195 at two shops, BePro Store and Anime Games, and BHD 209.99 at a third. The Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World started at BHD 210 at Anime Games, only BHD 15 more than the console on its own at the cheapest shops, so if you want Mario Kart World anyway, price the bundle before buying the game separately.

The Switch Lite showed the widest gap of any console in this guide. Games Gravity listed it new at BHD 65, a second shop at BHD 80 and a third at BHD 109 - the dearest asked 68% more than the cheapest for the same handheld. Every Switch 2 and Switch Lite listing we compared was at a specialist gaming shop, so check two or three of them before you pay.

VR headsets and PC handhelds

The Meta Quest 3S (128 GB) was BHD 144.99 at Games Corner - a listing that also included the Batman: Arkham Shadow game - against BHD 195 at the other shop that stocked it. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X (1 TB) appeared as three separate listings: BHD 454.99 at Sharaf DG, then BHD 489.90 and BHD 500.

Xbox consoles were thin on the ground: only one shop we track listed a new Xbox Series X 1 TB (BHD 350) and one a new Series S 1 TB (BHD 250), so there was nothing to compare them against.

• Big gaps: Switch Lite (BHD 44), Quest 3S (BHD 50), ROG Xbox Ally X (BHD 45).
• Small gaps: PS5 Digital (BHD 2.10), Switch 2 (BHD 14.99).
• Used consoles (many PS4 and Switch listings) are marked Used on PriceTeq and are not counted here.

How we measured it

We read PriceTeq's Bahrain console pages and 15 product pages on 9 November 2026 and used the prices they showed for new, in-stock consoles at 11 shops. Each shop is counted once, at its lowest listing for a model. We opened the shop links behind each listing and dropped the ones that mixed versions (the Meta Quest 3 page combined 128 GB and 512 GB listings, and two Switch OLED listings were different special editions). A few gaming shops' prices had last been checked four to six days earlier; we say so where it changes the cheapest shop. Bahraini retail prices include the 10% VAT, and PriceTeq shows each price as the shop lists it, in BHD. These are one day's prices; check the live console pages before you buy.
