Best PS5 deals and bundles

Great Price
PS5 Slim Spider-Man 2 bundle
Sony PS5 Slim Spider-Man 2 bundle
$449 $559.99 Save 20%

The PS5 is one of the best consoles thanks to its powerful hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Though it costs $50 more than the digital-edition model, the standard PS5 lets you play game discs. This package includes the new slimmer version of the console, along with a code to download a free copy of Spider-Man 2.

PS5 Slim bundle with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Sony PS5 Slim Modern Warfare 3 bundle
$449.99 $499.99 Save 10%

The new PS5 Slim features all of the powerful hardware and exclusives that we love from the original, plus a 1TB SSD for even more storage. Right now, it's $50 off bundled with Call of Duty Modern Warfare III.

This new version of the PS5 is slightly smaller than the original, but unlike previous slim PlayStations, there's no official price cut with it. It does have 1TB of storage, though, upgraded from 825GB on the original. As it stands, the regular PS5 Slim is $500 on its own, so you're better off snagging one of the bundles above for a $50 discount and a free game. 

Rare Deal

Sony PS5 Slim Digital Edition Spider-Man 2 Bundle

The PS5 is our pick for the best console you can buy. It features powerful hardware and a big library of exclusive games. This PS5 Digital Edition bundle comes with a free game and costs $50 less than the console on its own. However, keep in mind that this model doesn't include a disc drive, but you can buy one separately later on if you want.

As for the new PS5 Slim Digital Edition, it was released a few weeks after the disc drive version PS5. It's available on its own for $450, but you can get it for only $400 bundled with Spider-Man 2 above. 

Best PS5 accessory deals

Disc Drive For PS5 Digital Edition Slim
Sony Disc Drive for PS5 Digital Edition Slim

This accessory lets you add a 4K Blu-ray disc drive to a slim PS5 Digital Edition console if you decide you want to play physical discs. However, the combined cost of this drive and a digital-edition PS5 is more than that of a regular PS5 with the drive included, so you have to pay a premium to upgrade after the fact. Note: This only works with slim versions of the PS5 Digital Edition.

The SteelSeries Arctis 7+ is a top-tier wireless gaming headset with a bidirectional, noise-canceling mic and 360-degree spatial audio with 7.1 surround sound. It’s a pricey but premium choice, although this discount makes it a better deal.

Where to buy a PS5

You can buy a PS5 at just about any major online or physical retailer that sells video games, like Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy. Some retailers with physical store locations may limit their PS5 stock to in-store pickup. 

Is PS5 stock easy to find now?

It's now much easier to find a PS5 in stock than during the first two years of the console's release. You can now regularly see the slim PS5 with a disc drive and the slim PS5 Digital Edition at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. However, the original versions of the console with a thicker design are harder to find in stock and are no longer being manufactured.

What was the best PS5 deal yet?

Most PS5 deals we see are PlayStation 5 bundles with video games or other entertainment gear like TVs, but in the past, we've seen the standard PS5 console itself drop down to as low as $450, which is a $50 discount. 

Since late 2023, we've seen some fantastic PS5 Slim bundles with Spider-Man 2 or Modern Warfare III for as low as $450, making each game essentially free, along with a $50 discount on the PS5 itself. 

Which PS5 should I buy?

There are a few different PS5 options: the original PS5 ($500) and PS5 Digital Edition ($400) have been phased out by new slimmer models that were released in November 2023. The slim PS5 with a disc drive is 500, just like its predecessor, but the slim PS5 Digital Edition is $450, which is $50 more than the original PS5 Digital Edition. On the plus side, both consoles come with 1TB of storage, up from 825GB. 

Digital-edition consoles are missing a 4K Blu-ray drive for physical games and movies, so you must download all your games. But the slim version of the digital-edition PS5 allows you to add a disc drive later if you want to upgrade. Other than that, both offer the same performance. 

Though the digital version costs less, we recommend the standard PlayStation 5 for gamers hoping to play old PS4 discs, buy used video games, and watch 4K Blu-ray movies. Check out our PS5 digital vs. disc guide for a full comparison. 

When will the PS5 Slim be released?

The new slimmer versions of the PS5 are out now. They were released in November 2023. 

Now that the slim options are fully released, the original, thicker PS5 models will only be available until the stock sells out. Afterward, only these new, slimmer versions will be stocked in stores.

Is the PS5 better than the Xbox Series X?

Since the current console generation launched in 2020, a new debate has arisen among gamers: PS5 vs. Xbox Series X. While a lot of gamers have their preference by now, if you're still not sure which to splurge on, we found the PlayStation 5 offers a slightly more impressive gaming experience thanks to its stronger selection of exclusives and unique controller.

That said, we think Microsoft still has an edge regarding Xbox Game Pass vs. PlayStation Plus.
