For anyone who remembers how hard it was to buy a PS5 during its first two years of release, it may come as a shock to learn that the PlayStation 5 is now easier to find in stock. In fact, you can even find limited-time discounts and bundles on sale with games or accessories included. However, the best PS5 deals tend to be few and far between, so timing is critical.

Right now, you can take advantage of a limited-time PS5 and Sony 4K TV bundle deal, which knocks $150 off the total price of a new TV and PS5. If you already have a TV and only need the console, you can still find a handful of video game bundles, including a Final Fantasy XVI bundle. Though not the deepest of discounts, buying a game and PS5 together saves you some money compared to buying the two individually.

In addition to console bundles, you can also snag discounts on some of the best gaming headsets for PS5, including popular models like the HyperX Cloud Stinger. Keep scrolling to find the best PS5 deals and bundles available now.

Best PS5 deals and bundles

Sony 4K TV bundles from Amazon already include both the PS5 and TV. To get the $150 off deal from Best Buy, make sure to add both the TV you want and the console to cart. The promotion lasts through September 4.

Sony’s God of War Ragnarok bundle is also available with the All-Digital PS5. This model doesn’t have a disc drive, but it matches the standard PS5’s performance. Though the bundle itself is not being discounted, the package saves you $10 versus buying the console and game separately.

Which PS5 should I buy?

There are two different PS5 options to choose from: the standard PS5 and PS5 digital edition. The former features a built-in 4K Blu-ray drive, while the other has no disc drive at all, which means you have to download all your games. Other than that, both offer the exact same performance.

Though the digital version costs $100 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.

The PlayStation 5 offers the best console gaming experience thanks to its next-gen hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Though it costs $100 more than digital edition console, the standard PS5 model lets you play physical games on disc.

The PS5 digital edition console costs $100 less than the standard model. It delivers the same gaming performance, but it does not include a disc drive. Instead, buyers must download digital games in order to play them on the system.

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 own preference by now, if you’re still not sure which to splurge on, we found the PS5 offers a slightly more impressive gaming experience thanks to its stronger selection of exclusives and unique controller.

That said, we do think Microsoft still has an edge when it comes to Xbox Game Pass vs. PlayStation Plus.
