PlayStation 5 will be available with a Rs 7,500 flat discount for a limited period starting from July 25 through August 7.
This means, Sony will sell the PS5 at a price of Rs 47,490, down from its current retail price of Rs 54,990.
The price cut applies specifically to the standard disc edition only, which is to say that the price of the digital edition remains unchanged at the time of writing.
Sony notes that the Rs 7,500 limited period discount will be available across select participating retailers including Amazon, Flipkart, Shopatsc, Reliance, Croma, and Vijay Sales to name a few.
Sony had increased the price of the PlayStation 5 in select global markets including India last year citing the “challenging economic conditions” including the high global inflation rates and adverse currency trends as a reason.
The price of the PS5 with disc-drive was revised to Rs 54,990 and the digital edition to Rs 39,990.
The company had offered the PS5 and PS5 digital edition with a Rs 5,000 discount for a limited period in April.
The fresh price cut will be the first time when Sony’s flagship game console will be sold at a lower price than what it was launched at.
With Sony’s limited-time offer going live from July 25, naturally one can expect a re-stocking of units across channels.
PlayStation chief Jim Ryan had recently assured that Sony had resolved all supply shortage issues and that the PS5 would be available for buying more readily soon, especially through offline channels.
“We are pleased to share that from July 25, 2023 through August 7, 2023, players will be able to purchase PlayStation 5 console (standard disc edition only) for Rs 7,500 off at participating retailers,” Sony confirmed to FE via email, adding that “the Rs 7,500 off PS5 promotion will be available at Amazon, Flipkart, Shopatsc, Reliance, Croma, Vijay Sales and select retailers.”

Faqs
1) Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) To Get a Rs 7,500 Discount for a Limited Period.Details?
Ans) Sony has announced a limited-period discount for its latest and greatest gaming console – PlayStation 5 (PS5). Notably, Sony launched the PS and PS5 Digital Edition in 2020, but it didn’t arrive in India until 2021.
However, due to supply shortage, Sony has been restocking the new console periodically in the country and even hiked the price by Rs 5,000 in November 2022 due to dwindling global economic conditions.
It seems that the supply woes of Sony are over now, and it has now started offering deals and offers to customers instead of focusing on just making the console available.
The PS5 launched for Rs 49,990 for the standard disc edition and Rs 44,990 for the Digital Edition. After the hike, it retailed at Rs 49,990 and 54,990 for digital and standard editions, respectively.
Sony will now offer the standard disc edition of the console for Rs 7,500 less at Rs 47,490 from July 25 to August 7. It is the lowest-ever pricing for the standard edition PS5 directly from the brand itself. The offer brings the price lower than the original launch price of the console. However, interested buyers need to pick the console from eligible retailers listed below to avail of the offer.
1. Amazon
2. Flipkart
3. ShopatSC
4. Reliance
5. Croma
6. Vijay Sales
Previously, Flipkart offered the disc edition for as low as Rs 45,115 to Flipkart Axis cards and Rs 47,500 to other bank card users. However, it also included discounts from Flipkart SuperCoins and Rs 1,000 off prepaid orders.
The new offer announced by Sony is a direct discount and doesn’t require any specific card or coupons to avail. Interested buyers can purchase at the retailers mentioned above and grab the discounted price right away during the offer period.
It is the right time for those holding on to their PS purchase to grab one or PS4 users to upgrade. Considering PS4 consoles are now discontinued, and PS4 discs are also compatible with PS5, this is the opportune moment.
Besides, the latest games like Hogwarts Legacy and God of War Ragnarok are best played on PS5. Several exciting new launches are also lined up, like The Crew Motorfest, Marvel’s Spider Man 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and more.
2) Sony PlayStation 5 to get Rs 7,500 discount.Details?
Ans) The Sony PlayStation 5 starts at Rs 49,990 for the Digital Edition and Rs 54,990 for the Standard Edition that comes with a disc slot.
Now, in the sale, the Standard Edition will be available for Rs 7,500 discount.
This will take the price down to Rs 47,490.
It is worth noting that this offer will be directly by the brand. That said, the console will be available at that price from authorized stores such as ShopAtSC, Reliance, Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, and Vijay Sales. The offer period will be between July 25 and August 7.
Sony hasn’t offered this deal for the Digital Edition and it is unclear if it will do that anytime soon.
But if you were thinking about buying the Standard a.k.a Disc Edition for a while, this will be your chance.
The aforementioned discounted pricing is lower than the launch price. For the unversed, the console was launched in 2020 for Rs 49,990 (Standard Edition). However, it received a price hike of Rs 5,000 in November 2022.
Having said that, the Rs 47,490 pricing is a steal deal for the PS5 console. Although, Flipkart did offer the console for as low as Rs 45,115 in sales, but that was with bank offers. Here, apparently, there isn’t any bank offer included.
Sony PlayStation 5 is powered by AMD’s custom Zen 2 CPU paired with RDNA 2 GPU. The console has 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and 825GB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. The console has the capability of running games at 4K resolution.
In other news about PlayStation 5, Sony recently announced the Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition Bundle. The bundle includes the PS5 console, DualSense wireless controller and voucher for a digital copy of the game. Interestingly, Sony has also launched Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition covers for PS5. So those who already own the console can jump on Spider-Man 2’s hype train.
For the unversed, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 game is launching on October 20 for the PlayStation 5. The game’s pre-orders began sometime back. The sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man will have both Miles Morales and Peter Parker (this time in the Venom suit).
