What separates the best PS5 deals and bundles from others is the fact that many retailers in the US and the UK are offering the system with some of the best PS5 games for what would have been the sticker price of the console previously. That means that this month is one of the best opportunities to consider upgrading to the latest Sony hardware for less. 

That's because the PS5 received a deep price cut last month in both the US and the UK, with many outlets now offering the best gaming console for a record lowest-ever price. While this may have now passed, the savings have continued this month with deep savings on bundles, some of which even rival the asking price of the console on its own but with games included. That means having a little extra in your pocket to consider one of the best PS5 controllers or an additional DualSense.

Today's best PS5 bundles and console deals

If you're looking to get your hands on a console, you'll find all the retailers with PS5 stock available today just below. There are now more PS5 bundles than before as availability has stabilized at the start of the year.

Walmart has seen its stock of bundles depelete since the  PS5 Slim came out in late last year. Check regularly but don't pay over the odds for any from resellers and scalpers!

Best Buy: Check for PS5 console bundles

Best Buy: <a href="https://shop-links.co/link?st=PS5+bundle&publisher_slug=future&exclusive=1&u1=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fsearchpage.jsp%3Fst%3DPS5%2Bbundle&article_name=hawk-article-name&article_url=hawk-article-url" data-link-merchant="bestbuy.com"">Check for PS5 console bundles
Best Buy was offering a range of PS5 bundles but stock is now rather spotty and, as always, location specific. You're best of checking manually with your zipcode to see if you can get lucky with some local stock.

The DualSense Charging Station is a fairly affordable, and essential, accessory for your PS5, as it can top up your controllers' charge in around two hours. While there's no discount at present, we've often seen its price slashed by around $10 over key sales periods.

PlayStation Plus

The PS Plus logo

(Image credit: Sony)

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.

Now that dedicated cards or vouchers for PlayStation Plus have gone since Sony restructured the service, below we've got the latest and lowest prices on the relevant cards that'll get you over the line for each of the levels: Essential, Extra, and Premium.

PS5 price: how much does the PS5 cost?

PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition side by side

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

PS4 DualShock Controller

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.

Best PS5 deals - FAQs

Where is the cheapest place to buy a PS5?

The PS5 console doesn't receive discounts very often, but recently, several retailers have dropped its price. The most reliable places for stock right now would be Amazon, Game, Best Buy and PlayStation Direct itself. Though keep in mind that Sony's official website may place you in a queue due to the high demand the discounts have brought about.

What is the best PS5 price?

The PS5 saw its best discount yet recently, with huge price drops on the console and bundles. In the UK, the console went down to just £399 from its usual £479 retail price. In the US, some retailers also dropped the price of the PS5 + God of War Ragnarok bundle to an absurd $399. We expect discounts to be more frequent going forward now, especially as we head into the Holiday season.

Where is the best place to order a PS5?

Retailers like Amazon, Game and Best Buy typically have the lion's share of PS5 stock. However, if you want to buy directly from Sony, then PlayStation Direct is your next best bit. We've found this method to be somewhat unreliable, though, as you'll often be placed in a queue due to that high demand.
