Sony has announced that it will start selling the Digital Edition of the PlayStation 5 Slim console for $379.99 for a limited time. Sony released slim variants of its PlayStation 5 console last year. These redesigned consoles give the PS5 a sleeker look, but don't provide any significant hardware upgrades.

Sony is cutting the price of the “slim” PS5 digital edition by $70, making it more affordable for the holiday season. Typically, that PS5 model costs $449.99, but it will start at $379.99 through December 24th, according to a new ad.

PS5 Pro is a powerful refresh of the base PS5 hardware. It's the best way to experience the PS5's large library of must-play games and the current pinnacle of console gaming. However, the eye-watering $699 price tag makes it a machine that will only appeal to the most dedicated gamers.

With the PS5 Pro closer than ever, it's no wonder those of us looking to part from our beloved launch models have been keeping a watchful eye over the PS5 Slim. Our waiting has paid off, as the disc edition PS5 Slim is available now for £424.

The PS5 Slim is currently available for £20 off at Amazon, both disc and Digital version. Most major tech retailers and department stores run deals across the PS5 family throughout Black Friday. PlayStation itself have yet to wade in with their own deals but there's still two weeks to go until Black Friday itself.

Arguably the PS5 Pro‘s biggest obstacle was its large price tag. Selling for $699.99 here in the U.S., that is a big ask for a mid generation upgrade. However, if Japan sales are any indication, it seems gamers see the value of the new and improved console.
