Sony’s now-deleted YouTube ad earlier revealed that the PlayStation 5 Slim would be available for a discounted price of $380 (down from the regular price of $449) until December 24th. Sony quickly replaced the video with a new ad with no pricing information, and the company’s website still lists all of its consoles at standard prices. This deal will most likely be available on Black Friday, November 29th.

Holiday tech deals are quickly approaching, and the PlayStation 5 is set to receive one of the most notable hardware discounts of the year. However, considering the pricing history of consoles, the savings may be less significant than they seem, as the PS5 is close to its original launch price.

Buyers looking to save on a PS5 should note that this markdown only applies to the digital edition without a disc drive. Adding a $70 optical drive brings the total to $450, which saves you about $20 over the standard $500 PS5 Slim if you find a bargain. Moreover, the original price of the digital-only PS5 Slim was $399. Sony may want customers to see this as a $70 price cut, but it could also be interpreted as $20.

This discount is a rare case of a temporary drop in the price of a gaming console. This is a market that has experienced either a rise or a downturn in gaming console prices in recent years.

Unlike previous generations, where console prices generally declined over time, the disc-ready PS5 has remained stable at $500 for nearly four years. In contrast to the PlayStation 4 Pro, which eventually matched the original price of the standard PS4, Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Pro without a disc drive for $700.

But there’s one unusual way to get a free PS5 this holiday. That’s spending at least $1,799 on jewelry at a Helzberg Diamonds store. The retailer didn’t provide any details, but the company’s website lists the PS5 console as having a disc drive.

Sony isn’t the only console manufacturer promoting holiday deals. Nintendo has announced a number of hardware and software discounts starting later this month. For example, Switch owners can save $20 on popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Nintendo Switch Sports. Additionally, the Nintendo Switch bundle that includes Mario Kart 8 is available for $80 off.

More holiday deals on PC and console games are coming. The Steam Fall Sale runs from November 27th to December 4th, followed by the Winter Sale from December 19th to January 2nd.
