Getting a brand new PlayStation 5 in the United States will be cheaper than ever for the next month or so, as the console's MSRP has been officially dropped for the holiday shopping season.
A new ad shared today confirmed that the MSRP for the console's Digital Edition has been dropped to $379.99 from $449.99. The offer, which has only been confirmed for the US as of now, will be available until December 24th, so there will be plenty of time to take advantage of this deal before it ends.

While an MSRP drop for the console's Standard Edition would have been welcome, those who wish to play retail versions of games still have the option of purchasing the external disc drive, although they may have a hard time doing so at a reasonable price as the recently released PlayStation 5 Pro is lacking a disc drive, leaving those wishing to play retail games with no other options other than buying one. Despite this shortcoming, the mid-generation system is still a worthwhile purchase for those who wish to experience games at their best, offering considerable visual and performance improvements, as seen in God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
