Sony Interactive Entertainment in a new video posted to YouTube revealed the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition has been discounted by $70 and will be available for $379.99. The deal runs until December 24 "while supplies last."
No word yet if the standard PlayStation 5 or the recently released PlayStation 5 Pro will be discounted. The standard PS5 is priced at $499.99 and the PS5 Pro is priced at $699.99.
As of the time of writing, the discount isn't available yet at retailers or through PlayStation Direct.

a 70$ price cut..... hopefully its permanent or made so, if it does good for its sales.
This isn't a $70 discount...
It's a $20 discount from the original $400 launch price lol
On a four-year-old console with no physical drive. Via la modern gaming industry.
Yup... Personally, I would just buy the $399 refurb from PlayStation Direct since it's the disk drive launch model
Sure its "used" but its from Sony and has the same 1 year warranty as a new console
Do we know which parts Sony replace with new ones for the refurbished ones?

Last holiday season, PS5 was on sale until the 5th of Dec.
This time it's got additional 20 days of sale period.
Should do some big numbers.
Much more appealing than XBSX at 450$. Should do very well
I thought the news was that it was gonna be sub 400?
It is, but you always have to compare to it's closest competitor as that is the nature of business.
X is sold with a Disk Drive
Very few people care about disc drives anymore
For this comparison, add the disk drive to that PS5 sale and the vertical stand, both of which are included with the X and see how much money you are saving after this discount.
Xbox marketing today "Everything is an Xbox". MS don't even care about it or talk about it anymore so I don't know why your talking it up for them
If you add the $120 for the disc drive it costs more than the discounted XBSX. But yes, 379 is appealing.
Add the disc drive for $80 and you have a full fledged 5 for $460.
If looked at another way, this is only $20 less than the original digital 5.
This is an excellent price for the Slim; they are going to destroy the holidays with that price point :D (not that it would have not been the case anyway)
I just upgraded to the Pro; the size is quite surprising. I did not know it was way smaller than the original one on top of the extra power. It was a pleasant surprise :)
The only market I think that will have Switch win during the holiday period is Japan. While they celebrate holidays differently than North America and Europe, they still have a lot of sales and Switch is so dominant there.
PS5 will win pretty much everywhere else.
The Disc Slim has been confirmed by Fred Meyer at $425.
That's a pretty hefty discount. I hope they do that in Europe as well.
This will be appealing to those buying it as a gift, vs xbox. But those who are awars will know it's digital only. Sony tends to overcharge on games on store.
im sure sony are trying to force digital onto gamers they not bothered making many disc drives they are all in the hands of scalpers but im glad they are all losing money on the ps5 pro
Disc Slim has been confirmed that it will be at $425. *
