Other discounts Sony announced will be $50 off PlayStation 5 Pro consoles, $30 off the PS VR2 headset and bundle, $30 off DualSense edge controllers and more.

While Sony annually hosts their Days of Play event, this one comes during a time of questions in this current gaming console generation.

Microsoft and Nintendo have both made major announcements themselves, but nothing about lowering the prices of their consoles.
