Drop the PS5 price in 100 eurosand officially. SIE Spain (Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain) confirmed this, although they also made it clear that this is a temporary drop and that the said discount is limited to the optical drive version. The reduction will be reflected August 25th and will be active until September 7th.

With this reduction, the price of the PS5 in the version with an optical drive it goes from 549.99 euros to 449.99 euros, a figure that may be of interest to those who have been thinking about buying this console for a long time, but did not want to do so because its selling price increased and ended up being more expensive than at the time of its launch.

If I remember correctly, I think the 449.99 euros is the same price to which the PS5 in its version with an optical drive became available in the July sales season. I don’t think we will see a bigger discount in the short term, unless Sony is forced to quickly liquidate the stock of the current model, or decides to introduce a new model of the said console. I’m actually referring to the rumored PS5 Slim, a console that will theoretically arrive later this year.

You might be wondering why the price of the PS5 is dropping right now and why it’s doing so by €100. There are three big reasons, two of them confirmed and one almost confirmed. Two of the confirmed reasons are the loss of consumer interest and a drop in sales, normal things since this console has been on the market for almost three years, and the third reason is Sony’s need to clear inventory due to the proximity of that PS5. Slim.

Interesting offer, but is it really a good time to buy a PS5? At 449.99 euros, you can’t say no completely, but considering that the arrival of the PS5 Slim is very close and that it is very likely that this console will end up costing 400 euros, I think it’s better to wait now. However, if you don’t want to risk it, the offer is not bad and for the money you can play next generation games with an acceptable level of quality and fluidity.
