SonyRoss Miller (he/him) is Polygon’s Senior Commerce Editor for the summer. He has nearly 20 years of experience in media and was a founding editor of The Verge.If you’ve been on the fence about which PlayStation 5 to buy and have ultimately decided against the PS5 Pro — either because of the price tag or because you couldn’t nab the extra-gorgeous 30th anniversary edition in time — the slimmed-down PS5 Digital Edition is on sale at both Amazon and Target for $399.99 (was $449.99) ahead of October Prime Day, while the standard PS5 with disc drive is available for $449.99 (was $499.99). (You’ll need an Amazon Prime or Target Circle membership, respectively, to capitalize on these deals.) While $50 is not the steepest discount, that is the lowest price of any new PS5 currently available, making it a great entry point and still allows you to play the full catalog of titles for now and the foreseen future.PlayStation 5 Slim$450$50010% off$450While the PlayStation 5 Pro may have recently set a new performance standard, the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (i.e., the one without a disc drive) will still play all the same games — and will do so for a decidedly lower ticket price.Read More$450 at Amazon (Disc)This PlayStation 5 is the slimmer redesign that replaced the original model around this time last year, and it came with a $50 price hike for the Digital Edition. This early October Prime Day / Target Circle Week sale brings the entry price back down to below $400. Note that while the Digital Edition lacks a disc drive — sorry, no playing Blu-rays out of the box — you can pick up a disc drive separately as an attachment later on for $79.99 from Amazon and other retailers.PlayStation 5 disc drive$80$80$80 at GameStop$80 at Amazon$80 at PS DirectThis is a great time to pick up a PlayStation 5, which has a library of incredible games and a robust accessories ecosystem. And we wouldn’t worry too much about a PlayStation 6 anytime soon — by all accounts that is still many years off.Looking for more deals?

Read moreIt’s sounding like Christopher Nolan has a new film in the works, but you probably won’t be surprised to hear that early details are a little slim.Earlier this year, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan finally won an Oscar for best director with his biographical drama following the titular J. Robert Oppenheimer. It was essentially a “this is his time” moment, kind of like when Leonardo DiCaprio won his Oscar, but one little Academy Award (well, more than one) hasn’t let Nolan start slacking around, as according to Deadline, his next film already has a release date. Sources that spoke with Deadline told the outlet that Nolan will be continuing his relationship with Universal following Oppenheimer’s success for the director’s next film, and that it will have an Imax release on July 17, 20…
