Sony has announced by way of a new PS5 advert that the base PS5 Slim console will be available on sale at $380 until 24th December 2024. It hasn't confirmed on what date the temporary price cut will take place,

Sony has announced that it will start selling the Digital Edition of the PlayStation 5 Slim console for $379.99 for a limited time. Sony released slim variants of its PlayStation 5 console last year. These redesigned consoles give the PS5 a sleeker look, but don't provide any significant hardware upgrades.

The trailer originally stated that the digital PS5 Slim would be on sale until December 24 for $380. The system originally launched for $400 before Sony raised the price to $450. Bringing it down to $380 for the holidays is a nice offer, and hopefully it comes back. Microsoft already slashed the price of the Xbox Series X by $50 for the holidays.
