Gold PS4 Slim is real, will be on sale for $250 during the week of E3 2017

E3 2017 is right around the corner (this weekend, actually) and to celebrate, Sony will be launching an all-new Gold PS4 Slim on Friday, June 9th. The console will launch at a discounted rate of $250, which will run through Saturday, June 17th. The Gold PS4 had previously been rumored to be releasing sometime soon, but it makes a ton of sense that Sony would release alongside the excitement from the biggest gaming convention on the planet.

Also, in an article in USA Today, Andrew House revealed that Sony would drop the price on "select PS4 systems" whose sale will run during the same time frame as the Gold PS4 Slim. Gamers can also expect "additional discounts on software and accessories" during the week of E3 as well.

It's also worth noting that Amazon has already discounted a PS4 Slim Bundle that comes with Uncharted 4 down to $250, but the console only comes with 500 GB worth of storage space, whereas the Gold PS4 Slim will have 1 TB.

Sony's E3 Press Conference will be going down on Monday, June 12th at 6 PM PST/9 PM EST.
