There’s still time to grab a PS5 or PS5 Pro for 0 off for Black Friday

There’s still time to grab a PS5 or PS5 Pro for $100 off for Black Friday

With all the fantastic Black Friday deals available, it’s easy to overlook Sony’s ongoing PlayStation 5 sale, which is why we’re flagging it again. In case you missed it, all three PS5 models are steeply discounted until December 18th. The PS5 Digital Edition (slim) is still available from GameStop and Sony for around $399 ($100 off) — its lowest price of the year — while the standard PS5 (slim) is going for around $449 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. And if you want a more powerful console, the PS5 Pro is now available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart for around $649 ($100 off), matching its best price to date. If you’re wondering what the main differences are, the standard PS5 features a built-in disc drive, which the cheaper PS5 Digital Edition lacks. That means you can play physical games or Blu-rays without needing to spend an extra $79.99 on Sony’s external disc drive. Other than that, though, they’re pretty similar, with each offering 1TB of internal storage, which you can expand with …

The PS5 will be cheaper than the Switch 2 for a limited time

In the midst of tariff concerns and a cost-of-living crisis, Sony has decided to throw a party. Starting May 28th and lasting till June 11th, Sony’s putting on its annual Days of Play summer event in which PS5s, PS5 accessories, and some of the console’s most popular games will go on sale. The sale is Sony’s first time discounting the PS5 Pro, which launched last year. You can check out the details of the sale on PlayStation’s website, but here’s a short list of what you can get. Additionally, with single digit days left until the Switch 2 launches, the PS5’s $399.99 sale price, which includes one of the console’s most popular and most played games, is a cheaper and better deal than the $450 Nintendo wants from you for a Switch 2 (or the $500 it wants for the Mario Kart World bundle.) With the announcement of this sale event and with Summer Game Fest looming in the distance, we can probably expect Sony to announce a PlayStation State of Play event sometime soon. …

Sony considers PS5 price hikes to cover Trump’s tariffs

Sony considers PS5 price hikes to cover Trump’s tariffs

Sony just announced its financial forecast for the next year, and it’s expecting to be impacted by tariffs to the tune of 100 billion yen (about $680 million). To compensate, the company says it’s considering options including moving manufacturing to the US and increasing prices for consumers. Speaking to investors during the company’s earnings call, Sony CFO Lin Tao confirmed that the company is considering “passing on” the price of tariffs to consumers in order to mitigate the impact on its bottom line. Tao didn’t mention the PS5 by name though, and it’s possible that Sony could try to protect pricing on its console through increases elsewhere in its electronics business. Sony has already increased the price of the PS5 this year, but only in the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The PS5 did get a call out from CEO Hiroki Totoki when discussing the possibility of moving manufacturing to the US to avoid the brunt of Donald Trump’s tariffs. He admitted that the console “can be produced locally,” and that it would be …
