Best PS4 Console and Game Deals – May 2020


PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro consoles are pretty much sold out everywhere, but you can still score some deals on PS4 games and accessories. Even a couple of upcoming PS4 games are marked down $10 right now. And since we’re all waiting on The Last of Us Part 2 to release, why not play or re-play the first one while it’s on sale for $17? Enough chatter, on with the deals.

Deals on PS4 Accessories

Most of the hardware deals aren’t all that great, but considering PSVR and controllers are sold out at most retailers, just finding them in stock at list price is tough to do. That’s why they’re on this list.

A new PlayStation 4 generally only comes with the console and a controller. To get the most out of your hardware, you might want to consider picking up a few accessories. Here are our suggestions:

PlayStation VR


You have to try PlayStation VR. Not only is it incredible to experience game worlds from the inside, but PSVR offers the best lineup of VR games around. With titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR, Resident Evil VII, Borderlands 2, Tetris Effect, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, and many more, this is one PS4 accessory you won’t want to miss if you can afford it.

PS4 Headset


Maybe your roommate is sleeping. Maybe you just want to immerse yourself in the audio of your game. Either way, you’re unlikely to find a better deal on a wireless headset that’s more comfortable or has better sound than Sony’s Platinum headset.

PS4 Media Remote


It sounds like a minor complaint, but I got sick of having to wake up my PS4 controller every time I wanted to pause Netflix. This media remote solved that problem nicely.

5TB External Hard Drive


Games take up a lot of space these days, so if you find yourself running low on internal storage, plug in an external hard drive to get more. This 5TB HDD ought to hold you over for years.

This service lets you stream or download from a massive library of games.

PS4 Buyer’s Guide

At this point in the PlayStation 4 lifecycle, you can generally find some pretty good deals floating around. If, however, there are no notable discounts when you’re ready to buy, it’s smart to purchase a PS4 bundle that includes a game you would have bought anyway – provided the bundle costs less than the sum of its parts sold separately.

One thing to watch out for when buying a PS4 is overpriced consoles. With so many (possibly shady) third-party sellers at sites like eBay, Amazon, and Walmart, you’ll often see PS4s that are priced above the MSRP. Obviously, you’d be wise to avoid these, as there’s no reason to pay more than you have to unless they’re out of stock everywhere else. Here’s the MSRP for the typical PS4 hardware.

  • PS4 Slim – $300
  • PS4 Pro – $400
  • PSVR with Move Controllers – $350
  • PSVR without Move Controllers – $300
