The Amazon Great Indian Festival sale 2023 is live right now for all users, bringing discounts on a wide variety of products and devices. Electronics is, of course, the big draw here, with plenty of deals on mobile phones, electrical appliances, TVs, laptops and more on offer. Amazon is also offering an additional 10 percent discount on select items for SBI credit and debit card transactions. The sale also brings great discounts for gamers.
During the ongoing Amazon sale, gaming consoles are available for discounted prices. The e-commerce website is offering great deals on Xbox Series consoles and the PlayStation 5. Here are some of the top deals on consoles you can avail right now.
The PS5 is the most sought-after console in India. Each pre-order launch of the console has sold out like hot cakes, and Sony's newest console remains popular. Thankfully, the shortages are now over and the PS5 is easily available to buy on e-commerce websites and retail stores.
Launched at a price of Rs. 49,990 in India in 2021, the PS5 disc variant got a price hike in the country last year, when Sony raised its price by 10 percent to Rs. 54,990. The cheaper digital variant of the console also got a price bump, up from launch price of Rs. 39,990 to Rs. 44,990.
Now, during the ongoing Great Indian Festival sale, the PS5 disc variant is available for Rs. 44,990 — an 18 percent discount on its MRP. Users can also get additional discounts on the console using an SBI debit or credit card. If you're a football fan, you can also grab the PS5 EA Sports FC 24 bundle for a sale price of Rs. 48,189, down from an MRP of Rs. 59,390.

The Amazon sale also sees discount on Xbox's flagship current-gen console.

During the ongoing Amazon sale, the console gets a 13 percent discount and is selling at Rs. 48,979.
The Series X is the most powerful gaming console in the world, featuring 12 teraflops of graphical processing power to the PS5's 10. The Xbox console features backwards compatibility to support older-gen Xbox games.
