The real deals here are the PlayStation Fortnite bundles which are $100 less than other pricing and $200 less than they'll be on the 2nd. Wanted to make the thread so anyone on the fence about purchasing had time to before the price increases next week.

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

Best bet is to hope they do a trade-in promotion next week.

Anyone know anything about this region restricted PS Store gift card? Can a VPN be used to purchase with the discounted gift card?

No clue on the restricted part, but you can't use PSN gift cards on PlayStation Direct to buy consoles.

I guess it is time to sell my PS5. I don't use it, and I played 10-15 hours on it.

Was able to sell my 2tb steam deck OLED for $800 two weeks ago for the same reason - definitely not getting rid of my ps5 though.

i've been waiting for it to go about $350 since i play about once a month. No way am i gonna pay $500 for something i barely touch.
I wouldnt mind a used one, but damn i see some of these videos online of people with consoles that are just filthy. People are gross which is why i'd rather buy new.

Kind of an impulse buy but I just picked up the Flowering Chaos disc bundle for $429 on the Navy Exchange website with no tax. Good deal for anyone with access.

You can replace the cover, there are sales, i.e. PSN Direct had them on sale a few weeks ago. And you'll need a new controller anyway.
