If you’ve been looking for a new gaming console and have been waiting for the prices to drop, you’re in luck. For a limited time only, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S will all be on sale in South Africa for R1,000 off. This means the PS5 is even a little cheaper than it was before it got its price hike last year. It also means the Xbox Series X is the cheapest it has ever been.
Keep in mind that this opportunity isn’t around for long. The current PS5 R1,000 off promotion is kicking off on 31 March and will run until 10 April. The R1,000 off includes all PlayStation 5 consoles and bundles. It is quite difficult to get your hands on a standalone bundle so this means bundled consoles with some added games will be R1,000 off their original asking price too. If you do manage to get a standalone unit, it will cost you R11,499 for the disc model instead of R12,499. The PS5 Digital Edition will then cost R10,299 instead of R11,299.
