Sony's PlayStation 5 Slim Offers Seasonal $70 Discount
Sony's Price Drop Announcement
Sony has declared a temporary price reduction for its PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition as we approach the holiday shopping season. Starting now, gamers can purchase it for $380, a $70 discount from the usual price of $450. However, hurry—this deal ends on December 24 and is limited by stock availability.
Ad Controversy and Price History
On November 12, Sony aired a new ad revealing this price cut. Yet, an updated version has eliminated mentions of the discount, prompting uncertainty. Kotaku is seeking clarity, but as of now, it's unclear if the deal remains valid.
Previously, the digital-only PS5 was priced at $400 at launch, making the current price only $20 less than its inception, raising questions about the actual value of today's deal.
Additional Considerations
This promotional price only applies to the PS5 Slim Digital Edition. Those interested in a disc drive model must purchase it separately, as the Slim model does not include a vertical stand either.
Exclusions and Future Expectations
Notably, this discount does not extend to the newly released PS5 Pro, which remains at a staggering $700. For gamers after the latest features like ray tracing, be prepared to spend.
