Sony’s bringing back its immensely successful Days of Play promotion after last year’s triumph, meaning that you can look forward to discounts on PlayStation games, hardware, and accessories right through E3 2018. This year’s initiative is set to kick off on 8th June and will end on 18th June, with a new limited edition PS4 Slim console also up for grabs.
Let’s start with that, shall we? The Days of Play Limited Edition 500GB PS4 Slim will be available for £249.99/$299.99, and comes in an exclusive royal blue with gold branding. It ships with a matching DualShock 4, and if you purchase in Europe you’ll actually get two controllers with it. Don’t worry if you’ve already got a console, because you’ll be able to buy the DS4 individually for £39.99/$39.99.
What else is on sale, then? Well, the PS4 Pro will drop to $349.99 in North America, while the PlayStation VR Starter Pack will be discounted on both sides of the Atlantic, down to £199.99/$199.99. God of War will plunge to £39.99/$49.99, while it’ll be joined by various other discounted PS4 exclusives like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Gran Turismo Sport.
Sony will also be reducing the price of annual PlayStation Plus memberships, and there’ll be savings on other services like PlayStation Vue and PlayStation Now. You can learn more about what’s on sale in North America and Europe through the respective links. It also sounds like there’s going to be various savings on the PlayStation Store, so keep your eyes peeled.

I absolutely love that PS4 Slim.
@Savino Yeah, it'll stack. So if you buy 12 months, it'll add 12 months to the end of October.
The console looks fine, but I'd like that controller.
The U.S. site says the PS4 Slim is 1TB. Still stinks that it doesn’t have the 2 controllers like Europe though.
will Sony have promotion for spend 200 to get 30 back for next month ?
@get2sammyb what about promotion is spend 200 or 150 to get 20 or 30 back ??
That controller is well nice, yeah
@PS4fan Nothing mentioned yet, but possible.
PS4 Slim looks nice, but $299 seems a bit expensive for a PS4 Slim no? $299 Slim vs $349 Pro isn't much of a difference. Also wasn't Slim $199 everywhere this past holiday, AKA BF in the US? That's not much of a sale at any rate.
Impressed to see GoW on sale, even if it's only $10 off. Though after 5mil sales in a month I suppose they're feeling generous.
Surprised to see a PS Vue sale, been looking bad for the service the past year. They can't seem to make up their minds what to do with it. Lost Viacom, discontinued the cheap Slim service, lost local channels. So basically it keeps getting less and less channels and costing more and more.

And then just last week at their financial meeting they put out a PDF saying PS Vue "Market & future business model remains uncertain". Page 3 or 4.

So as much as I'm in the market for streaming TV I don't think that $10 off for 2 months is going to get me to sign up for PS Vue. I'd pay $10 per month, but not $35.
DoP PS4 is sexy as hell.
I'm hopin' they will do a Spiderman LE console.
Don't like that PS4 but a discounted Pro is almost tempting.
Loving that touchpad
E3 sales are great, besides Black Friday and the Christmas season that's the time of the year I buy most of my games.
Any chance the $50 gift cards going on sale too?
Great about the ps plus! I had bought the annual subscription during last year's Days of Play, so It's nice I'll get to renew it with a discount.
I like a console to blend in as much as possible. Black is fine it is a match for the TV. Blue sticks out like a sore thumb. But I guess it will appeal to collectors.
@WanderingBullet
You can norally find gift cards at discounted prices online, well you can for EU not sure about US.
I'll get the 1 year psplus discount if it's $40 or lower
Not a fan of that limited PS4, I gotta say. Not as bad as the GoW one at least, I guess. Either way would have rather had a discount on a Pro.
@GAMINGLORY Loo now thats a beautiful spiderman console.word up son
$20 for SotC and Horizon?!
sighs and opens wallet
I don't like that PS4 design to be honest. The blue is nice, but the large gold icons look tacky to me.
Discounted games are always great though. There's plenty of top PS4 games that I haven't bought yet, so I'll be keeping an eye on what's on sale.
I like it. In fact I'd have been tempted if it was a PS4 Pro...
That console looks awful 🤮
Perfect timing hopefully ps+ sub will be decent price drop mine runs out 1/6/18
@hotukdeals Oh, I usually buy mine from Amazon.com (US).
Hope god of war is less than 39.99 given it is 42.99 on amazon right now...
bluuuugh looks like a kiddies toy
I really liked the design and will definitely check for some games.
I'd be tempted to buy the slim with 2 controllers. I love it.
This is the best promotion they've ever launched. When they did this last year, I picked up a 4Pro and Horizon: Zero Dawn. E3 hype is building up nicely :]
Second dualshock at that price looks tempting. And heck why not get PS+ whilsts it's cheap!
$199 for a VR headset bundle? If only they would restock that version in the US soon
