Best Buy’s limited-time deal on the PS5
Best Buy is currently selling the PS5 with a 4K Blu-ray drive for $449.99, which is $50 off its original price of $499.99. This is a rare discount for the PS5, which is usually sold out or marked up by scalpers online. The deal is only available for My Best Buy members, which is a free loyalty program that you can join on Best Buy’s website. You will also need to sign in to your account to see the discounted price.
The offer is valid until August 14th, 2023, or while supplies last. You can order the PS5 online and pick it up at your nearest Best Buy store, or have it shipped to your home for free. However, you might want to act fast, as the PS5 tends to sell out quickly whenever it is in stock.
What makes the PS5 worth buying
The PS5 is Sony’s flagship next-generation console, which boasts impressive features such as:
- A custom SSD that reduces loading times and enables seamless transitions between game worlds
- A powerful GPU that supports ray tracing, 4K resolution, and up to 120 frames per second
