PS5 Gets a Temporary €100 Price Cut Accross Europe

[ethomaz]

Remember when Sony talked about taking actions to increase the sales of PS5 to reach they FY target after a less than expected Q1?
Seems like it is starting...

A lot of retailers in several countries are showing the new temporary €100 Price.
From the ones I checked I can say Germany, Portugual and Spain received it.

In one news sites from Portugual I found out the period of the promotion.

PS5® anuncia um desconto temporário de 100 euros até 07 de setembro

A promoção da consola decorrerá entre 25 de agosto e 07 de setembro, tanto nos retalhistas

Starting in August 25 until September 7.
The price cut is only to the Blu-ray model... so it basically matches the digital edition model price.

That makes me think Sony will be very agressive with prices this end of year / Black Friday.

Edit - It includes PlayStation Direct... so it is coming from Sony.

That’s insane

It'll be the new price for the slim I wager.

Sales faltering because they haven't announced any first party games, so they have to discount the shit out of it to make sure they meet their goals.

The Jimmy and Hermie effect is becoming noticeable.

Consoles should get a discount after awhile tbh. PS4 was the only gen they barely reduced the price

But I agree about the first party announcements, not sure how much it effects the mainstream buyers though

If the Slim is sold without disc drive and optional disc, it should be at least the price of the Digital version. I expect it to be lower tbh
