If you were holding out for some PS5 console or bundle deals in the UK this summer, then you were probably left quite disappointed by Amazon's distinct lack of price cuts in the recent Prime Day sale.

However, fear not, as Sony's own official online storefront has come through with the goods and slashed the prices of a bunch of consoles and bundles as part of its own summer sale in the UK.

There's a grand total of five PS5 bundles on offer right now with varying discounts, and you can check them all out below. However, the top picks for me are the standard PS5 Slim console, which is now £434.99 at PlayStation Direct (down from £479.99), and the standard PS5 Slim Digital Edition, which has a huge 90 quid off it, and is now available for £339.99 at PlayStation Direct instead of £429.99.

This is a superb price cut, and while not the deepest we've ever seen, it still represents a wonderful price on the console, which is still great value for money. Taking nearly the cost of a new game off the MSRP is always welcome and means you can pick up something else with that amount.
