PS5 To Get Flat Discount Of Rs 7,500 Starting Today: Everything You Need To Know

The discounted PS5 console will be available at various retailers, including Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Shopatsc, Vijay Sales, and other select brick-and-mortar stores. 

Sony has officially announced a limited-time promotional offer for the PlayStation 5 console. Starting today, July 25, and lasting until August 7, gamers can avail a flat discount of Rs. 7,500 on the 4K Blu-ray-equipped disc version of the PS5. This brings down the price to Rs. 47,490, making it even more enticing than the initial launch price back in February 2021. It's important to note that this promotion only applies to the disc version and doesn't affect any game bundle variants of the console.

The Japanese tech giant said in a press statement, "2023 has been a fantastic year for PS5 so far, with plenty of games to keep players entertained, including recently released blockbuster titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Final Fantasy XVI. We have continued to deliver incredible gaming experiences to our growing PS5 community, including PlayStation’s game subscription service, PlayStation Plus, which offers benefits such as the Game and Classics Catalog with hundreds of games to choose from. Even more amazing new games are coming this year, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Alan Wake 2."

During this promotion, the discounted PS5 console will be available at various retailers, including Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Shopatsc, Vijay Sales, and other select brick-and-mortar stores. 

The availability of PS5 supplies has improved in India, so there's no need to worry about flash sales or stock shortages anymore. 

Meanwhile, in an effort to address concerns over antitrust issues, the leaders of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard assured regulators that their proposed $69 billion merger would not lead to an unlawful concentration of power. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasised that making Activision games exclusive would have no strategic sense and contradicted the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) assertion that it would give Microsoft exclusive access to highly popular titles like Call of Duty at the expense of other gaming platforms.

During approximately 45 minutes of testimony, Nadella stated that Microsoft has always believed in software running on as many platforms as possible, highlighting the company's commitment to broad accessibility. When asked if Microsoft would have the incentive to limit access to games on Sony's PlayStation to promote the sale of Xbox consoles, Nadella responded that it would make no economic or strategic sense to do so.
