Sony on Friday has increased the prices of its Playstation 4 Pro and Playstation 4 Slim models with PS4 Pro now priced at Rs 38,710 while PS4 Slim now priced at Rs 29,990. The company had earlier priced the PS4 Pro at Rs 36,990 while PS4 Slim was priced at Rs 27,990. While Sony has made no announcement regarding the increase in the prices, the company has updated the prices on its website. However, the new prices are not reflected on the e-commerce sites including Flipkart and Amazon as the products are currently unavailable for sale. It has to be noted that e-commerce sites are allowed to sell only essential items until the end of COVID-19 lockdown which is currently said to last until May 3. The e-commerce sites including Flipkart and Amazon are expected to reflect the new prices when they resume deliveries of the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro.
