Select European countries like Spain and Portugal have recently been enjoying discounts of up to €100 on PS5 systems, but a new claim from PS Plus leaker billbil-kun states the sale price will be expanded to other countries soon. While the leaker doesn't know when the promotion will begin, they've posted the sort of discounts UK, USA, and German residents can look forward to.
According to billbil-kun, the following PS5 sale prices will come into effect:
Original Price |
Sale Price |
Discount |
|
---|---|---|---|
UK | £404.99 | £75 | |
USA | $449.99 | $50 | |
Germany | €474.99 | €75 |
Of course, Sony did increase the price of a PS5 across the UK and Europe nearly a year ago, but the reported discounts would make the console cheaper than it was prior to the price hike. The sale only appears to cover the standard PS5 system with a disc drive; the PS5 digital edition isn't included. This offer will be available on the PlayStation Direct site as well as retailers like Amazon, Target, and GAME, the leaker claims.
The price drop would take effect whilst rumours of a new PS5 model with a detachable disc drive still float about. It's reported the new version will launch in September, but no further details have been shared in some time. What we do know for certain is Sony will launch a limited edition PS5 console themed around Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on 1st September 2023.

Clearing out stock for the slim. I will trade in my Digital for the slim when it comes out.
I've been holding off on a PS5 purely to see what's going on with all these rumoured models, I'd be very tempted to bite at £404.99 though
That's a bit better. Though not quite at the sweet spot for me yet, but good if finally heading in that direction.
Waiting to swap out my PS5 disk edition for new one in Sept without disk drive.
If they drop the price of the disc drive model but not the digital surely it’s worth the extra few $ for the digital even if it’s rarely used, no? 🤷🏻♂️
@rjejr …no.
Revised model imminent no doubt about it. I'll sell my day one physical for a slim (WITH a disc drive) because I stand by my thoughts from day one that the PS5 is too big and the most hideous console ever made. Just saying.
More you see this the more you think the Slim rumors are true.
Wonder if the digital will go on sale too, 350$ PS5 vs series s would be very interesting
If the rumoured pricing is right, then it will probably be £400 or £420 or something similar. £404 dosent sound right, or maybe that is just my ocd making me think like that 🤔 actually if I had my way I would do away entirely with anything costing .99 and instant round everything off to the nearest pound 💷 😂
I’ve still yet to get a PS5 mainly because there’s no reason to upgrade yet I’m still on PS4 and got a series S to tide me over untill there’s a reason to go from 4-5…
Now the question is get the rumoured slim or wait till the pro 😂
not interested in old stock but looking forward to the slim at a reasonable price in the coming year or two pending the games that get released...
@TranslucentEye same boat here. i see little reason currently to make the upgrade to ps5. i can live with lower resolutions and framerates on the ps4 for the time being... there simply hasn't been enough killer ps5-only games to justify the jump so far...
@rjejr Never used in my case 🤣
Sony price cuts......I'm sure the alarm clock will go off any moment and I'll discover it's Monday. Just let me stay in this dream a few more minutes.
@TurboTom The Ragnarok bundle was £454 on prime day and the £4 annoyed me so you're not alone on that one.
It can go down a lil more
@Kanji-Tatsumi I'd recommend holding off a little longer. There isn't really any reason to rush into the current generation just yet, since we still seem to be in the interim between the PS4 and PS5.
£300 for the Digital PS5 is a great price point
they are clearing out the current models for the new model. this price decrease isnt permanent
the new digital only model will be £400 with the disc drive addon costing extra
I have considered myself a pc gamer since doom was originally released way back when - but I decided to get a ps5 on launch day as I was working at home due to Covid and needed to separate my work room from my entertainment room - and I have barely played a game on the pc since.
I adore it. I think I’ve used it every day, although sometimes just for watching a 4K disc movie - but mostly for gaming. Sitting on the sofa after work and playing one of the many many excellent titles on a big screen oled tv has turned out to be a fantastic pastime.
I did buy an Xbox series x a few months after the ps5 thinking it was consoles I was enjoying but found it inferior in most ways and I’ve not turned it on in probably 6 months or more.
Anyway - gush over, but the point was it was worth every penny I spent on it, and was cheaper than my pc’s graphic card.
