Prime Day PS5 discount nets you a disc-based console for less than the digital one /

Console deals are some of the most anticipated for sales events like Prime Day and Amazon didn’t disappoint in this department, offering a great deal for those among you looking to get going with a PlayStation 5 from Sony. Amazon UK brings a solid 16% discount to the table for a bundle containing a regular PS5 with a disc-drive as well as God of War Ragnarök, one of the best games of 2022 – it’s yours for £453.99. Still pricey, but could be a lot worse.

This version of the PS5 usually sells for £479.99 without any games, making this a fantastic bargain.

The price even beats a similar bundle with the digital version of the PS5, which comes without a disc drive, meaning you can’t play physical copies of games on it and have to download everything instead. Usually that makes the disc-based edition of the console more expensive, as it offers a little more functionality, but in this case you can have the ‘better’ version for a lower price.

God of War Ragnarök is the sequel to God of War and one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives of last year. It continues the story of Kratos and his son Atreus in the far north, where they meet Odin and Thor among other figures of Norse mythology. It recently got New Game Plus features for enhanced replayability.

Prime Day is running until July 12, 2023, so be sure to grab any offer you’re interested in before time runs out.

Amazon UK is leading the charge on great gaming deals on Prime Day, offering a stunning Xbox Series S discount as well as a great offer for Pokémon Violet.
