Sony is cutting the price of the “slim” PS5 digital edition by $70, making it more affordable for the holiday season. Typically, that PS5 model costs $449.99, but it will start at $379.99 through December 24th, according to a new ad.

As part of its early Black Friday offerings, a retailer has got the brilliant Volcanic Red DualSense controller down to its lowest price since last November; it can be yours for $67.99 at Walmart (was $79.99).
