Sony Announces India Summer Sale Offer, PS5 Slim Gets Rs. 5000 discount

Sony has announced a limited-time promotional offer that slashes the price of the recently launched slim variants of the PlayStation 5 in India. The ‘Summer Sale’ offer will apply a discount of Rs. 5000 on PS5 slim. From May 1, the console will be available for Rs. 49,990, less than the retail price of Rs. 54,990. The slim variant of the PS5 was launched in India earlier this month. Sony had earlier slashed the price of the older PS5 disc edition model by up to Rs. 13,000 after the launch of the PS5 slim.

According to PlayStation India, the summer sale offer will only be applicable to recently released PS5 slim models CFI-2008A01 and CFI -2008B01. The console will be available at a discounted price of Rs. 49,990 at Amazon, Blinkit, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance, Sony Center, Vijay Sales and other participating retailers. The limited-time offer starts on May 1st and will end on May 14th or while supplies last.

Earlier this month, Sony India announced a promotional offer of up to Rs. 13,000 for older PS5 disc edition models. The offer, applicable only to the standard PS5 with model number CFI –1208A01R, is still ongoing and will end on April 30. The PS5 slim was not included in the promotional offer.

The PS5 Slim, which is thinner and lighter than the standard PS5, is available at the same price of Rs. 54,990 for the disc edition and Rs. 44,990 for the digital edition. The slim variant of the console marks a volume reduction of more than 30 percent and weight of up to 24 percent compared to the standard PS5. The PS5 slim also comes with a removable disk drive and slightly larger internal storage, up from the PS5’s standard 825GB custom SSD of up to 1TB.

The new variant of the console, announced late last year, went on sale in India on April 5. Apart from brick-and-mortar retailers, the PS5 slim is also available for purchase from the Blinkit delivery platform, with 10-minute deliveries supported in select cities.
