If you haven't decided which PlayStation 5 to buy and have finally decided on the PS5 Pro, either because of the price or because you couldn't get the magnificent 30th anniversary edition in time, the reduced version PS5 Digital Edition is on sale both on Amazon like at Target for $399.99 (was $449.99) before Prime Day in October, while the standard PS5 with disc drive is available for $449.99 (was $499.99). (You'll need an Amazon Prime or Target Circle membership, respectively, to take advantage of these deals.) While $50 isn't the steepest discount, it's the lowest price of any new PS5 currently available, making it a great entry point and still letting you play the full catalog of titles for now and the foreseen future. .
This PlayStation 5 is the slimmer redesign that replaced the original model this time last year, and it came with a $50 price increase for the Digital Edition. This early October Prime Day/Target Circle Week deal brings the price of entry down to under $400. Note that while the Digital Edition lacks a disc drive (sorry, no Blu-rays can be played factory), you can purchase a separate drive as an attachment later for $79.99 at Amazon and other retailers.
Now is a great time to pick up a PlayStation 5, which has a library of incredible games and a robust ecosystem of accessories. And we wouldn't worry too much about a PlayStation 6 anytime soon; According to all indications, that is still many years away.
