That may rise to 80 in some countries.If the claims are accurate, that means it'll be possible to pick up a Standard Edition PS5 Slim for 474.99 instead of usual 549.99, while the Digital Edition will fall to 374.99 from 449.99.Digital Foundry reviews the PlayStation 5 Pro.Watch on YouTubeThat's not the end of the PlayStation discounts, however; Bilbil-kun also reports a massive 200 price reduction of for PSVR2, bringing it down to 399.99 from the usual 599.99. Additionally, the PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Pack, which includes the VR headset and a Horizon Call of the Mountain code, will fall from 649.99 to 399.99. There's no word of UK pricing for any of this yet, but it shouldn't be long before all is revealed.All this, of course, follows Sony's recent announcement its console hardware has seen a significant drop in sales, falling to 6.2m units sold compared to the 8.2m shifted in the same quarter last year. Whether the recently launched PlayStation 5 Pro will help gives those numbers a notable boost remains to be seen. "The truth is, the standard PS5 is still the best choice for most people," Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter said in a recent appraisal of the new console, "but for the core enthusiast looking for the best possible experience, the Pro option is there for you, albeit with a substantial premium."
