If you’re looking to get your hands on Sony’s coveted Playstation 5, we have some good news: Best Buy has the PS5 in stock and available for $50 off right now as part of a limited-time offer. The regular Playstation 5 Console is marked down to $449 (originally $499+), while the Final Fantasy XVI Bundle is on sale for $509 (regularly $599+). These are the lowest prices we’re seeing online from the video game manufacturer.

Playstation 5 Console
This is a rare chance to find the PS5 online — and at a discount. The best-selling Sony gaming console has been consistently sold out since it launched a few years ago, so the chances of finding a PS5 in stock have been slim. Getting a brand new Playstation on sale? That’s even more unheard of. There’s no word yet on how long the sale will last so we recommend adding to cart while the offer is still live.
The $50 discount applies to both the console on its own (with one controller), and the Final Fantasy XVI bundle, which includes the PlayStation 5 console, a DualSense wireless controller, Base, HDMI cable, AC power cord, USB cable, and Astro’s Playroom as a pre-installed game.

While Best Buy seems to have the largest inventory of PS5 consoles (as of this writing), you’ll also want to check out Walmart and Amazon, where both editions of the in-demand console appear to also be restocked. Amazon has the original PS5 Console on sale for $449 here. Amazon also has renewed Playstation consoles starting from $400 here.

Amazon and Walmart aren’t the only online retailers to grant early access as part of their membership programs. GameStop’s restocks have been exclusive to Power Up Rewards Pro members in the past, meaning it might be worth it to invest in a Pro membership for $15 a month to get immediate access. The membership includes perks like a Game Informer subscription, a $5 reward coupons per month and a 10% extra trade credit on games and accessories.
