I’ve been holding out hope for some serious PS5 deals for a while now – and when Prime Day came and went without a sniff of a discount on the console or its VR headset, I was a little disappointed. Sure, we had some great game discounts and third-party kit was looking pretty good as well – but there were no juicy savings on the actual big guns themselves.
This week’s turned things around. Not only are we enjoying the return of record-low prices on both consoles (now $449 at Amazon and $399 at Amazon), but the PSVR 2 has jumped in for a stunning $200 discount down to $349 (was $549) as well. Sure, I’m excited about those console prices, but that VR deal is really the bread and butter of this sale. You can catch a $50 saving on the PS5 if you time it right throughout the year, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen the PlayStation VR 2 go below $450 – and it’s only ever hit a $449 sale price once in the past.
Of course, you’ll find a wad of games included in this week’s PS5 deals as well – but some offers are far better than others. Sure, you can pick up Returnal for $29.99 or Horizon Forbidden West for the same price. But those games are discounted pretty regularly. No, I’m looking at Spider-Man 2 going from $69.99 to just $49.99 at Amazon for only the second time in its life and The Last of Us games dipping to rare, record-low prices.
What makes these PS5 deals so massive? This isn’t just one retailer dribbling down price cuts. You’ll find these offers live at both Best Buy and Walmart as well. That means you’re covered if someone bumps up their price or runs out of stock, but it also means these savings are likely coming directly from Sony itself. That’s usually when we find the rarer savings on the shelves.
