If you missed last month's brilliant PS5 deals, you’re in luck, as Sony has slashed the price of its new-gen console again by £75 in the UK. Curiously, you can actually save even more at selected retailers, and there are some sweet bundles out there now available for less than the base console’s RRP. As always, you’ll want to be quick, as while discounts last until September 7th, we can’t say the same will apply to stock.
At the moment, Curry’s seems to have the cheapest PS5 deals, as you can snag the disk version with Lego Star Wars for £399 rather than £479.99. That’s a pretty fantastic price drop, especially if you’re on a tight budget and need some games to play on your shiny new console. Speaking of which, there’s also various packages available for a chunk less, and Amazon has a Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PS5 bundle that’s down from £549.98 to £444.95, thanks to a nifty 19% discount.
For whatever reason, you’ll actually pay more for the base PS5 console by going straight to PlayStation Direct, as prices currently sit at £404.99. This could be a good fallback if Amazon, Argos, Currys, and EE run out of stock, but you’ll absolutely want to visit those retailers before paying that little bit more. We’ve already gone shopping around for some of the best PS5 and bundle deals around, and there are plenty of fantastic discounts on offer.
Should you buy a PS5 right now?
Stock issues seem to now be a thing of the past, and this could be the optimal time to pick up a PS5. Not only does the console now have a plethora of games within its library, but it's also backwards compatible, so you'll be able to delve into your PS4 backlog without running into any compatibility issues.
Sony also just announced the PlayStation Portal (formerly known as Project Q), a new companion handheld design to handle remote play. So, if you pick up a PS5 for less now, you'll have everything you need to stream to the portable when it arrives. Sure, you could hold off till Black Friday to see if even better deals emerge, but we suspect prices may be roughly the same during the annual event.
