We can’t even tell you the last time there was a Playstation 5 sale. It wasn’t during Amazon Prime Day, it certainly wasn’t for Memorial Day, and we’re pretty sure Black Friday is out of the question. Hell, the only time you can get a “deal” on a Playstation 5 is if you bundle it with a game you don’t want (how many times can you play God of War?) or with a bunch of extra controllers you don’t need (hello, virtual friends). We’re seeing a rare $50 off deal on the PlayStation 5, bringing the $500 price tag to a slightly more digestible $450. That’s enough extra money in your wallet to buy a game you’ll actually play.
Since 2020, the PlayStation 5 has been in and out of stock, which can explain why Sony never felt the need to actually give it a markdown. The seemingly never-ending competition between the Playstation and the Xbox really comes down to which console-exclusive games you’d rather play. For Sony, it’s titles like The Last of Us and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (as well as the upcoming, and much-hyped Marvel’s Spider-Man 2). This console has some truly stunning graphics and visuals that make you wonder why you ever thought a pixelated Playstation 1-era Lara Croft was “so realistic.” Plus, you can play older PlayStation 4 games and watch Blu-ray movies—given you’re not sucked into the whole video streaming hoopla. This PlayStation sale might not happen again, so scoop one up before we’re in another drought for this highly sought-after console. And if gaming just isn’t your thing, we have seven more epic deals to shop right now.
