The best PS5 bundles and deals in March 2025

Sony has just unleashed two new PS5 bundles that stand as some of the best value offers I've seen on the console so far. Rivalling only last year's Spider-Man 2 discounts, these package deals drop the prices of both the Disc and Digital consoles down to their lowest position in a long time and pack a free copy of Astro Bot.

Usually $499.99 / £479.99 (for the disc version) and $449.99 / £389.99 (digital), the PS5 price hasn't wavered too much in the last 12 months save for annual sales. Right now, the best PS5 bundle can save you plenty of cash at PS Direct, with $109.99 off the full cost of last year's top platformer and the console itself. That means this week's discounts are still looking pretty valuable - especially if you take the US's DualSense price increase into account.

If you spot a price you like this week, I'd be heading to checkout as soon as possible. Whether you're after discounts on games or you want to pick up some of the best PS5 accessories with your new console, you're in the right place.

I've been hunting down PlayStation console bundles since I first tried to buy my own PS4 as a late teen. Combining my love for new gadgets and deal-hunting instincts, I originally joined our sister site TechRadar as a Deals Editor before making my over to 12DOVE. I was there when we were all desperately just trying to find stock of the PS5, and since that availability levelled out I've had my nose firmly in the world of discounts and bundles.

The best PS5 deals available now

• Amazon: games from $19.99
• Best Buy: save on Razer controllers
• Newegg: up to $80 off SSDs
• Walmart: gaming headsets from $21

If you don't have a specific game in mind for your first purchase, it's worth taking a look at the latest PS5 deals on standalone consoles. These are rare, but we have seen the standard edition taking a few price dips here and there - especially in the UK. The Digital Edition is a little slower to catch up, though. You'll find all the web's latest PS5 deals just below, with our price crawling software surfacing all your favorite retailer's biggest offers every half hour.

Should you buy the PS5 Digital Edition?

Simply put, the PS5 Digital Edition lacks a disc drive and is cheaper than the regular full-fat version. In fact, it's $100 / £90 less expensive. While this isn't an earth-shattering discount, that's because it's otherwise identical.

Unlike the Xbox Series X and the entry-level Series S, the PS5 Digital Edition is every bit as powerful as the standard PlayStation 5 console; so far as we can tell, there haven't been any cutbacks in terms of raw specs. That means it can handle every next-gen game in 4K with all the associated benefits. Basically, you're getting the same console without the ability to play physical discs.

However, much like with the Xbox One S All-Digital from the current generation, we can't see this digital alternative being a decent choice. PSN games in most territories cost significantly more than their physical counterparts (obscenely so in the UK), and prices take much longer to drop. Not to mention the fact that you shut yourself out from playing pre-owned games, your old DVDs, and 4K Blu-rays.

However, even though the all-new, revamped PS Plus service and tiers are approaching something of a proper rival to Xbox Game Pass, we'd still recommend sticking with the standard PS5 if at all possible. It leaves you with more flexibility.

Is the PS5 price worth it?

Hoping for a slightly lower PS5 price? We (and our bank balances) hear you. However, it's actually fair value when you break everything down. If we were to build the PS5 from components that are on the market right now, it'd be much, much more expensive.

Let's look at the GPU first. Right now, you'd be staring down the barrel of an RTX 2080 equivalent graphics card (e.g., the best graphics cards) to handle ray tracing at any kind of decent frame rate or resolution. To produce ray tracing at 4K - before we even get to the 8K Sony has promised - you'd need a powerful chip like a Radeon VII, or whatever the Navi equivalent will be inside the PS5. Want it to hit 30 frames per-second and medium-high settings? You'd be looking at $800 / £600+ at a minimum.

Now, onto that SSD. If you go bargain hunting right this second, you'll pay $350 / £300-ish for a 1TB NVMe SSD from the likes of Samsung. Yes, you can go cheaper, but Sony is claiming that the PS5's SSD will outperform all current PC SSDs. As such, $350 / £300 or more is about right.

With that in mind, we're already looking at $1,000 / £1,000+ build. And that's before you take other parts into account. We assume 32GB of RAM at a minimum, a Ryzen 7 equivalent CPU with 8 cores (which we know about), and all the cooling, power, wireless tech, and casing required to keep everything together. That's another $500 - $800 / £400 - £700 at least.

Then there's the DualSense controller. It contains haptic feedback that's going to replace the traditional vibrations we've had for a long time, increasing immersion in games literally through touch and feel. The adaptive triggers will also seek to offer differing resistance depending on what you're doing in-game, like drawing a bow or driving over gravel. That's bound to increase the PS5 price.

This doesn't mean the PS5 should cost over $1,000 / £1,000 though. Given the strides in GPU development and the inevitable cost-cutting Sony has arranged, the PS5 is a fair bit cheaper than that. Plus, the cost for future models will keep going down as the company figures out manufacturing tricks to lower the price of production.
