PS5 Slim Models at a Discount Examine the price: Sony's 'Summer Sale' Offer

In India, Sony has revealed a new "summer sale" promotion that will result in savings on PlayStation 5 systems. Some PS5 slim versions are eligible for the limited-time discount, which reduces prices by Rs. 5,000. The PS5 summer sale begins Thursday, April 17, and will remain till May 14 or until inventories last.

PS5 Summer Sale Details

The offer includes a discount on the PS5 slim digital edition (CFI-2008B) and the PS5 slim physical edition (CFI-2008A). The retail price of the physical edition, which includes a Blu-Ray disc drive, was Rs. 54,990, but during the sale, it was only Rs. 49,990. In contrast, the digital edition is priced at Rs. 39,990 instead of the normal Rs. 44,990 and also receives a discount of Rs. 5,000.

The summer sale discount is now live across Amazon, Blinkit, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance, Sony Center, Vijay Sales and other participating retailers. The offer will end on May 14 or till stocks last. The sale does not include PS5 accessories, the PS VR2 or the PS Portal remote player.

The PS5 discount in India comes after Sony raised the price of the console in key regions of Europe, the UK, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Australia and New Zealand from April 14 after US President Donald Trump announced widespread tariffs on US imports.

The parent company of PlayStation increased the suggested retail price for the console due to a "challenging economic environment," rising inflation, and volatile exchange rates. The cost of the PS5 has not yet increased in the US or India.

With a selling price of Rs. 54,990 for the disc edition and Rs. 44,990 for the digital edition, the PS5 slim is both lighter and slimmer than the original PS5. On April 5, 2024, the small variant of the console replaced the earlier PS5 model and went on sale in India.
