There’s a PS5 Prime Day deal, and it’s not bat at all

If you haven’t grabbed a PlayStation 5 yet, we can understand it, especially with the PS5 stock issue and the fact that the PS4 has still been going strong. Even so, with the potential retirement of the PS4 in 2024 or 2025 and the fact that you shouldn’t expect a PS5 Pro any time soon, now is the perfect time to grab a Prime Day deal on a PS5. In fact, there’s actually a rival Walmart Prime Day sale you can take advantage of to grab this PS5 and Spider-Man: Mile Morales bundle for just $520 instead of $600. That’s $60 you can put towards another game if you want to. Just be aware that this deal is only available to Walmart+ members, so you’ll have to grab a monthly subscription or get this , bringing the price to just $49 a year.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 and Spider-Man: Miles Morales Bundle

The PlayStation 5 is a console that needs very little introduction, especially given its interesting design choice and unique split between a digital and physical version. While it may not be one of the best-selling consoles of all time, it’s done a great job over the past few years, shoring up its extensive list of exclusives to entice gamers. One of the most well-known games on that list, and the one that comes with this bundle, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, is easily one of the best games on the PS5 and an excellent first entry into the console industry. Another great example is Horizon Forbidden West which, much like Spider-Man, has some excellent gameplay and amazing performance and optimization, which decreases the loading time you deal with.

Of course, one of the biggest problems of the PS5 is its storage or lack thereof. While the base console comes with roughly 800GB of usable storage, which may seem like a lot at face value, all games must run directly off the storage. That means that even if you have a disc, the game will be loaded onto the internal storage and run from there, so you will eat up that space quickly. Luckily, you can upgrade your PS5 Memory with an M.2 SSD, but not all of them are compatible, so be sure to pick the best SSD for PS5 before taking the plunge.

Digital Trends Best Prime Day PS5 Game Deals

PS5 games have gotten very expensive over the past year or so as developers have raised their prices across the board, with the best PS5 games easily costing $70 for the base edition and over $100 for special editions. That's why Prime Day deals are absolutely great since they help bring down the cost of an individual game and help you stock up. Of course, Amazon is not the only retailer that's offering great deals, as Best Buy is also offering great deals on some of the best RPGs for PS5 and best PS5 games for kids. So, while we've made some picks of our favorites below, it's well worth taking a look yourself!

To start us off, we have some of the most popular games on sale right now, such as Elden Ring for rather than $60, which isn't a significant discount, but you can still save that up and put it towards something else. Another great game with a more significant discount is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for instead of $70, which works the smoothest on PS5 and is a great sequel to the previous game. We also really like the deal on this Horizon Forbidden West Launch Edition, which is going for just instead of $70, which is almost enough to buy another game, and a great opportunity to grab one of the best games on PS5. If you're an FPS fan, Call of Duty Vanguard Standard Edition also has a great deal on it for instead of $70, so if you grab this and Forbidden West, you'll have saved enough to get a third game for the price of two.

Walmart is trying to steal the attention of gamers from Amazon's Prime Day deals with this offer for the Microsoft Xbox Series S with an extra wireless controller. For Walmart+ Week, the bundle is available for just $290, following a 19% discount on its original price of $360. That's $70 in savings that you can spend on more video games and accessories, but you'll need to push through with the purchase right now if you want it because there's a chance that stocks don't last until the end of the day.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series S with extra wireless controller
Microsoft's lineup of current-generation consoles consists of the Xbox Series X and its less powerful but cheaper brother, the Xbox Series S. In our Xbox Series X versus Xbox Series S comparison, while the Xbox Series X is the winner due to its superior hardware and the presence of a disc drive, you'll want to go for the Xbox Series S if you want a console that's smaller, with a more elegant design compared to the towering presence of the Xbox Series X. Additionally, going for the cheaper Xbox Series S won't prevent you from playing all of the best Xbox Series X games -- in fact, you can also play the best Xbox One games, as well as some titles from the Xbox 360 and Xbox, due to Microsoft's focus on backward compatibility.
