The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is only $379.99 until Christmas

Or until the scalpers get them all.

While it definitely wouldn’t rank amongst the best console ads of all time, Sony just released a pretty cool new PlayStation ad on their YouTube channel featuring one of the best surprises we’ve gotten from Sony in a while.

These ads are always cool to look at. This time we get a glimpse at what seems like PlayStation city, a place where PlayStation’s famous triangle, circle, square and X replace the regular traffic signs in a way that somehow doesn’t result in an accidental Carmageddon remake. We also see some buildings turning into the PlayStation’s symbols, and it looks cool, but the best part comes right at the end, when it announces a price drop of $70 on the PS5 Slim Digital Edition.

The price reduction is yet to take effect on the PlayStation direct online story, so don’t get too hasty on your acquisition. Still, Sony notes the promo will last until Christmas or while supplies last, so I hope you manage to find the perfect balance between t🌸he two.

Sure, the comments make sure to remind players about the dire reality of having to buy the stand separately, but you don’t really need one to enjoy your games. While the notion of a console only getting a temporary price drop four years after its release date would’ve been laughable in any other gen of PlayStation, this is better than no Christmas miracle at all. This piece of news feels even better when you realize how, for the first time in a long while, scalpers’ plans went awry as they stocked up on a bunch of PS5 Pros that nobody is buy at ridiculous prices and have since begun selling them at a loss.

You can now get the PS5’s Slim Digital Edition for $379.99 until Christmas, or until supplies are depleted.
