PlayStation 5 price drop: save up to £80 on a new console until 10 August
You can score a bargain on a PlayStation 5, controllers, and bundles with games until 10 August.
For the first time ever, PlayStation has dropped the price of its latest console. We've broken down the cheapest places to buy and where to find the best deals on bundles and controllers during the sale.
Find out how to get the best deals on games and our tips for buying a PlayStation 5.
Is this the largest PS5 price drop?
It's the first time we've ever seen it on sale.
With £75 off, it's a slick discount that brings the PlayStation 5's price down to £404.99 if you buy directly from PlayStation. Some major retailers are discounting further; taking an extra £5-6 off and bringing the price down to as low as £399.
This deal only applies to the standard PlayStation 5 (which has a disc reader) – the digital-only version is still its full price of £389.99.
How much does a PS5 usually cost?
It normally costs £479.99. Originally, the console was launched at £449.99, however, the price rose by £30 in 2022, where it has stayed - until now.
When does the PS5 sale end?
The discount ends 10 August on PlayStation. Some retailers may choose to extend this, or end it earlier.
If you're on the fence about buying a new console, now is a good time to consider pulling the trigger.
Where is the biggest discount on a PS5?
You can buy the PS5 direct from PlayStation for £404.99, but other retailers are offering a higher discount.
Currently, Amazon, Currys, and AO have the biggest discounts on a PlayStation 5: giving an extra £6 off the original deal, bringing the price down to £399.
Argos, Very, Box, Smyth's Toys, John Lewis, and Game are also taking part in the sale, bringing their prices on a PS5 to £399.99.
