PlayStation Plus
A PlayStation Plus subscription is an excellent pairing with the PS5. Not only does it let you access online multiplayer, a number of free PS Plus games each month and regular exclusive deals, but also the PlayStation Plus Collection. This is a library of some of the best PS4 games all ready to download and play on your new console. It's great if you missed out on any classics from the last generation console.
A PlayStation Plus subscription is usually discounted at regular periods throughout the year: namely during the Sony Days of Play event around May, as well as Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. Any of those is generally the best time to renew your subscription as that's when membership is available for the cheapest price.
However, you can sometimes find a saving at other retailers outside of these times. CD Keys generally has the lowest prices, just make sure you get a code that will work in your region.
Now that the new PS Plus service has launched, it's no longer quite so straightforward when it comes to finding the best price. The previous 12-month subscription cards have been pulled from sale at most retailers and new gift cards have been introduced that are equal to the value of the different membership tiers.
We've got the best prices for PS Plus Essential and PS Plus Extra vouchers below - as well as any remaining old digital codes that are still available that will convert into different amounts of PS Plus time depending on which tier you choose. An old 12-month PS Plus voucher equals 365 days of PS Plus Essential, 219 days of PS Plus Extra or 183 days of PS Plus Premium.
PS5 price: how much does the PS5 cost?
The PS5 price comes in at $499 (£479 / AU$799.95) - that's the same cost as the Xbox Series X in the US, but the recent price hike in other regions means it now costs £30 / €50 / AU$50 more than before.
However, Sony has always been quick to point to its prioritization of value over price, so if you're looking for those heavy-hitting PS5 exclusives it might be worth shelling out for the more expensive console. Plus, the PS5 Digital Edition runs the same specs as the fully-fledged console, further cementing its position in the market as a high value-for-money option.
That means bargain hunters can still experience everything the PS5 has to offer while foregoing the opportunity to play physical PS4 and PS5 games or save cash by buying in the second-hand market. It's an excellent proposition that will certainly capture those going for sheer value for money at launch.
PS5 Digital Edition price
The PS5 Digital Edition costs $399 (£389.99 / AU$649.95) - that's $100 more expensive than Microsoft's own Xbox Series S, but we are talking about the full power of the PS5 here. That means Sony's console actually goes a lot further than Microsoft's cheaper offering. Whether this is enough to sway the budget market towards Sony, however, remains to be seen.
The price of the PS5 Digital Edition, then, comes in at a similar position to the PS4 Pro, which makes sense if you're looking to get into the Sony ecosystem for the first time. However, if you're looking to make use of the PS5's backwards compatibility, you will have to factor in the cost of rebuying your physical PS4 games. If you've already amassed a collection, then, it's worth picking up the full console and taking advantage of Sony's PS5 upgrade system.
However, if you have a PS Plus membership, you'll be able to take advantage of the PlayStation Plus Collection. PS5 owners can download and play a massive selection of PS4 exclusive titles with full PS5 upgrades from launch, from Uncharted 4 to The Last of Us Remastered, Ratchet and Clank to Bloodborne and God of War. So, if you're a PS Plus subscriber you'll be able to play all those golden oldies with your membership anyway.
PS5 price: compared to the PS4
When the PS4 was released in 2013, PlayStation held the price announcement until the Xbox One had taken the leap first. Once the Xbox One was set at $499 / £429 with a Kinect included in every package, Sony only had to cut the PlayStation Camera from its PS4 bundles to swoop in with a $100 cheaper price tag.
So how does the PS5 price compare to that of its predecessors? The PS4 launched for $399 / £350 / AU$599, while the PS3 launched for an astonishing $599 / £425. It was always unlikely we'd see prices reach that high again, though Sony is definitely pitching above the cost of the previous-gen console.
