This is one of the absolutely best discounts we’ve seen for the Sony PlayStation 5 (8/10, WIRED recommended). We reviewed the original version; This discount is for the Slim version, which has more storage and a slightly different design than the original. The console is great overall, with incredible graphics and a DualSense controller that makes the gaming experience even more engaging. For less than $50, you can get it PS5 Digital Edition (sold for $400). This may be a better choice if your game library is largely digital. You can always add one external drive for around $80, though we think it’s worth shelling out the extra $50 for the bundled version of the drive – it’ll save you money in the long run, rather than buying the drive separately. Finally, it’s worth mentioning that if you buy directly through Sony, you’ll get 12 months of Netflix Premium for free.

If you haven’t played the sequel yet, you can also buy it for less than usual. It follows in the original’s footsteps—sometimes well, sometimes poorly—and takes place four years after the first game ended. It’s horrific and gratuitously violent. We still think it’s worth playing.
