So, be sure to also check out our roundup of our favorite PS5 game deals, as well as some great gaming console deals if you want to pick up one of the other consoles potentially.

This console features the PlayStation 5’s slim design, yet still has 1TB of solid state storage built in.

The Sony PlayStation 5 is a serious upgrade not just over previous PlayStation generations, but over many consoles in general. It can be hard to track down a console, but you can grab it at Best Buy with free shipping and in-store, same-day pickup available in many locations. The console itself offers 4K gaming with up to 120Hz output, which makes it a good pairing for any of the best TVs. The gaming experience itself may be as good as it gets with the PS5, and you can put it through the steps easily with any of the best open-world games for PS5.

The digital edition of the Sony PlayStation 5 console is right for people who want to save $100 compared to the main PS5 console, which has a disc drive. That’s the main difference between these two consoles. With this digital edition console all of your game purchases will need to be done online, and they’ll need to be stored digital on the PS5’s hard drive. This makes for an efficient gaming experience and makes for a good way to save. It even counts as two ways to save if you don’t like clutter, as you won’t have to deal with physical copies of all of your games. Best Buy is offering free shipping with a purchase, as well in-store pickup in many locations.

Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller — $70

One of the best PS5 accessories you can get is the PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller. It comes bundled with most consoles, but if you need an additional controller, this is the one to go for. It goes a long way in creating the immersive experience the PS5 offers, as it has haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone and headset jack that will allow you to communicate with friends while playing games online. Amazon is offering free delivery with a purchase of the DualSense wireless controller.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

If you've always wanted to pick up a gaming console but have been putting it off for prices to get a bit better, now is the perfect time to pick something up. With many great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals to pick from, you can grab something for a relatively cheap price. To that end, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals below, including both new and refurbished options where available.
Xbox Series S 1TB -- starting at $330, was $380

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

The best deals of Sony’s Days of Play event

There are a lot of great consoles out there, but few have made as much of an impact on gaming as Sony's PlayStation. Even so, the latest iteration, the PlayStation 5, was a bit of a hit and a miss when it first came out, especially since there were issues with getting stock, and the PS4 still felt relatively fresh. Since then, the PS5 has become much better as a gaming console, with a lot more first-party titles, better availability, and even lower cost. To that end, if you want to grab yourself a PS5, or PS5 games, then Sony's Days of Play event is the perfect time to pick up a bunch of cool stuff, and we've listed some of our favorite deals below.
God of War Ragnarök -- $40, was $70

God of War is one of the oldest and most popular franchises, not only on PlayStation but also in gaming overall, and God of War Ragnarök is the latest installment. It may be a couple of years old now, but if you haven't had a chance to play it, now is the perfect time to pick it up, especially if you finished the first God of War remake that was launched with the PS5. While the story isn't as strong, the combat and gameplay are much better, and exploration is a lot of fun.

We don’t tend to see many PS5 deals still, even now that PS5 stock issues are a thing of the past. However, Walmart has bucked that trend by discounting the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim by $50. Normally costing $500, the console is down to $449 for a limited time only. That’s a big enough saving that you could buy a game or PS Plus subscription with the change. Keen to learn more about if the PS5 is for you? Let’s take a look.

Why you should buy the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim
Considered to be the best game console around at the moment, the PlayStation 5 is a delight to use. It offers speedy hardware with an eight-core CPU running on a modified version of AMD’s Ryzen line. With 10.28 teraflops of power, it supports great looking processes like ray tracing so you get advanced lighting while you play. Crucially, it’s the little things that soon add up like how if you play Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, fast traveling is instantaneous and instantly appealing.
