Okay, so I was just going about my day, right? And then I hear about PlayStation’s Summer Sale. No joke, it’s like they know I’m ready to spend money I probably shouldn’t. Anyway, this sale kicks off on July 16, at midnight — can you believe it? Zero dark thirty and they expect us to be awake? Whatever, I’ll take it.
So, there’s a bunch of deals happening. EA Sports FC 25 for like, a whopping 79% off. That’s almost like they’re giving it away — okay, maybe not quite, but close enough. Plus, they’re slicing the price on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 by 45%. And then there’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows for 25% off, which seems decent. They’ve got Forza Horizon 5 in there too, same sort of discount. Random thought: who names these games? Forza just sounds fast.
Now, before I forget — there’s more stuff to browse. The full list will be up when it starts, so don’t ask me for all the details now. Check the official PlayStation Store when you’re bleary-eyed at 12:01 a.m. or whatever.
Right, so that’s not all. The PlayStation peeps are running a Summer Sale in different bits of Europe too. Get this: you can snag a PS5 for cheaper — €50 or £45 off the standard version? Lord, that’s a sweet deal. They’re also chopping €100/£90 off the digital ones. I’m assuming they’re trying to clear stock, but hey, I’m here for it.
Oh, and games like Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West are on sale. Gran Turismo always makes me think of watching those intense races where my palms get all sweaty — again, why?
Ordering from their website means you get free shipping, by the way — everyone’s favorite word. And in the U.K., you can lease a PS5 for less than ten pounds a month. Probably cheaper than my coffee habit.
Also, for you lucky ducks in Benelux, Spain, and Portugal, Playstation Plus members scoring an extra 5% off is a thing. Honestly, maybe I should just move there for this kind of perk.
One more thing — this sale isn’t forever. It wraps up on August 13 at midnight. Some deals even disappear before then, so don’t dawdle.
Anyway, I’m off to check my bank balance. Temptation, thy name is PlayStation Sale.
