Massive PS5 discount and Call Of Duty bundle coming this week claims leak
Sony is set to announce various price cuts for the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro as part of a new sale, according to a reliable insider. Shortly after raising the price of the PlayStation 5 digital edition in the UK, it seems Sony is preparing to announce some temporary discounts. Every year around May, Sony usually holds a Days Of Play event with special offers across PlayStation games and consoles. Last year's event saw the company make massive £90 reductions on the PSVR2, while the PlayStation 5 received a £40 discount. It seems Sony is preparing to announce a similar set of discounts for this year, along with a reduction to the recently launched PS5 Pro. According to reliable leaker Billbil-kun, this year's Days Of Play event will start from Wednesday, May 28 and run for two weeks until June 11, 2025. As part of this sale, it's claimed the standard and digital versions of the PlayStation 5 console will receive a discount of €100 in Europe. While no UK price specifics are given, if it directly lines up, this will equate to around £80 off the £479.99 and £429.99 price for each respective console in the UK. The PS5 Pro will also apparently see a discount, albeit only €50 off the €799.99 price in Europe. In the UK, the PS5 Pro costs £699.99. It's claimed the PSVR2 headset will similarly receive a €50 discount, while a selection of DualSense controllers will be available for €54.99. More Trending According to the leak, these won't be the only discounts revealed during the event. A series of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 bundles are also expected to launch on the same day, which will include a digital copy of the game alongside the PlayStation 5 console. The bundle with the standard version of the PlayStation 5, with a disc drive, will apparently cost €50 more than the standard price in the sale, at 'around 499 euros'. Meanwhile, the digital edition bundle will see the same increase to €449.99. There's a chance not all of these promotions will apply to the UK, and it's unclear if the US tariffs will impact its potential rollout in other territories, but we won't have long to wait, as the official announcement is expected sometime on Tuesday, May 27. Beyond this event, Sony is rumoured to be planning a State Of Play presentation for next month, although some believe it may have been delayed to the autumn.

Nintendo Switch 2 US pre-orders expected "in days"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary A renowned leaker has revealed the pre-order dates for the Nintendo Switch 2 in the US and Canada. Already available to order in the UK and elsewhere, North American pre-orders will allegedly start next week – from 21 April. The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order phase will finally begin in the US and Canada next week, it is claimed. According to a renowned video games leaker, Nintendo has settled on a price after the tumultuous to-ing and fro-ing over tariffs, and North American retailers will be given the green light to take orders for the new console. The final RRP is not fully clear as yet, but Billbil-kun, who has regularly been spot on with other leaks, has posted on BlueSky that Canadians will be able to pre-order the Switch 2 from 23 April (next Wednesday). He then followed it up with a post suggesting the US pre-order date could be even sooner – from 21 April. This was gleaned from his contacts at "some US retailers", he says. Billbil-kun also suggests that accessories, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and official SanDisk microSD Express cards will enter the pre-order phase on 30 April. It is highly likely, considering how quickly the alleged pre-order round is now approaching, that Nintendo has opted to keep its price at the originally quoted $449.99. The company (or US retailers) will be swallowing any extra costs imposed by Trump's tariffs. That could be because Nintendo of America already imported "thousands" of consoles ahead of the tariffs being implemented. And as a large amount of additional units will be manufactured in Vietnam, they apply for the 10% import charge that is currently in place, rather than the 145% levied on China. Sadly, the Nintendo Switch 2 nor any other video games console or accessory is eligible for the same tariff exemption as smartphones and semi-conductors. If it was made by Apple, that might have been a different story. The console price in the UK, Europe and Australia remain unaffected by US tariffs. They continue to be set at £395.99, €469.99, and A$699.95 respectively. You can find out how to pre-order your Switch 2 in those countries via our handy live stock checker.

New PS5 Console Bundle Leaked, Reportedly Out Soon
A new PS5 console bundle is reportedly in the works, and will be out as soon as March 2025, according to a reliable insider. We're leaning towards this rumor being true because the bundle allegedly includes a copy of GOTY 2024, , which Sony would naturally want to highlight. This report is brought to us by Dealabs user billbil-kun, who has a near flawless track record when it comes to leaks. According to them, the bundle will include a standard PS5 Slim along with a disc drive, and a download code for Astro Bot. Billbil-kun didn't say if the PS5 Pro and PS5 Slim digital edition will get the bundle treatment or not. However, they did say that the release date is expected to be March 13, 2025, so we'll find out soon enough. Billbil-kun is based in Europe, so this date may not apply to the U.S. and/or other regions where the bundle will launch. They estimated the European price tag to be around 474 and 499 euros. As for when the PS5 Astro Bot bundle will be announced, billbil-kun is speculating a reveal at the rumored PlayStation State of Play, which is reportedly taking place later this week. The post New PS5 Console Bundle Leaked, Reportedly Out Soon appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
