In a surprising move, Sony unveiled a trailer on November 12, promoting the PlayStation 5, which hinted at a holiday discount for the digital PS5 Slim.
Initially, the video mentioned that the digital PS5 Slim would be available for $380 until December 24, a significant drop from its current $450 price, having originally launched at $400. But now, that part’s mysteriously vanished from the re-uploaded version of the trailer. Check out the trailer here.
Microsoft, meanwhile, has already cut the price of the Xbox Series X by $50 for the festive season, as seen in their latest updates.
Fans often find these pricing games amusing.
The internet is buzzing with comments about Sony’s stealthy edit, leading some to laugh at the company’s expense.
GameSpot is on the case, reaching out to Sony to get to the bottom of this mystery. Meanwhile, it’s common for big brands like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo to drop prices during Black Friday and the holiday shopping spree. Sony might still surprise us with a PS5 discount soon. Interestingly, if you splurge $1,800 on certain jewelry, you’ll score a free PS5.
The PS5 Pro, recently launched by Sony, caters more to tech enthusiasts than the average gamer, and some experts are predicting a not-so-merry holiday season for new console sales.
If the PS5 isn’t your thing, Nintendo has revealed their Black Friday bargains, slashing prices on Switch bundles. Plus, whispers about a Switch 2 announcement in the coming months are growing louder.
