Sony Reduces Prices Over All Models of the PlayStation 5 by $100 for Black Friday
In an aggressive last-minute thrust in lowering the thresholds for entry into current-generation gaming this Black Friday, the company has made a $100 price cut across all variants of PlayStation 5, with the entry-level version now hitting a record low of $399. These deals are already being advertised by Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
PS5 Slim Digital Edition New Low of $399
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition entry-level option has its price cut from $499 to $399. This model works almost identically to its standard counterpart in terms of performance but does not have a physical disc drive. This makes it the cheapest way to enter the world of PlayStation for users who download games directly from the PlayStation Store. A disc drive can, of course, be purchased and added to this "slim" model later if so desired.

PS5 Slim Standard Edition Price Drop to $449
Now, for audiophiles who prefer physical media, is available for $449, down from around $549-$559. The primary advantages of this model are that it allows for the use of physical game discs and gives entry into the second-hand market and trade-ins, which would potentially save software costs long term.
