How much is the PlayStation 5 on Amazon Prime Day? – Manchester Evening News

The PlayStation 5 has been Sony's most popular console to date and now it's starting to become more-widely available to buy. It has taken two years for the console to get on track with demand.

Since it first launched in the UK back in November 2020 gamers have gone to desperate lengths to try and get their hands on one. Issues over gaming chips being made and stock issues made demand soar and because of a limited supply only selected retailers were selling them at one time.

Over the past few months though various gaming retailers have seen stock return to more of a sustainable level and many have been able to offer both versions of the PlayStation 5 console to a wider market. That being said stock levels haven't quite returned to normal.

Questions are being asked as to whether the PlayStation 5 will appear in the Amazon Prime Day sale and one expert has answered. The online retail giant recently made a PlayStation 5 bundle available on its site. This PS5 Console with the Horizon Forbidden game was available to buy earlier this week, but is now out of stock again.

Amazon Prime Day takes place on Tuesday July 12 and July 13. The 48-hour event is one of Amazon's biggest sale events, aside from Black Friday which takes place later in the year, and offers shoppers thousands of discounts on everything from tech, gaming, clothing, Amazon devices and more.

Shoppers who are part of Amazon Prime can get access to exclusive deals ahead of Prime Day and on the sales day itself. Not a member of Amazon Prime? You can sign up to a free 30-day trial here.

However, because of previous demand of the PlayStation 5 it is not clear whether the console will even be available to buy on Amazon, yet alone be featured in the Prime Day sale.

Talha Sonmez who runs the popular PS5 Stock UK account on Twitter and the Stockchecker website, doesn't think the console will be making the cut for Amazon Prime.

He said: "I personally do not think Amazon would offer the console on a deal for Prime Day, not a chance. I don't even think they'll do it for the Xbox Series X, although that's a higher chance than seeing the PS5 on sale.

"The console may be in decent supply now however, the phase of supply lasting long hasn't been around for too long yet, therefore the console (in my opinion) wouldn't be on discount this soon."

If you thin Talha may be wrong though then you can keep an eye on the PlayStation 5 landing pages on Amazon here and here. The PlayStation 5 comes in two forms, the PS5 console: 449.99 and the PS5 Digital Edition console: 359.99. The only difference between the PS5 console and the PS5 Digital Edition console is the inclusion of an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive in the PS5 console. The PS5 Digital Edition console does not feature a disc drive.
