Highlights
- Gamers can save $50 on a PlayStation 5 at Target retail stores from August 6th to August 12th, offering one of the best deals for the console.
- Target is also offering discounts on popular games such as The Last of Us Part 1, Gran Turismo 7, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and MLB The Show 23.
- While it's a great time to purchase a PS5 now, gamers willing to wait might have more options in the future, as PS5 console revisions are rumored for this year.
Gamers looking for a PlayStation 5 can save $50 soon at Target retail stores for a limited time. This temporary price drop is one of the lowest consumers have been able to pick up the PS5 at a brick-and-mortar store.
When the PlayStation 5 originally launched in November 2020, it became virtually impossible to purchase one in person or online for many gamers. The demand for the PS5 was exceptionally high, and the supply could not keep up due to a global shortage of semiconductor chips. Plus, there was the problem with scalpers online, who used bots to buy up most of the consoles each time there was a new supply drop, then sold the system for twice the price or more. Many PlayStation fans gave up completely, opting to wait for when supply stabilized. Today, it looks like finding a PS5 on the store shelves is not an impossible task anymore. In fact, the once elusive system will be on sale soon.
Target has put out an ad revealing that the PlayStation 5 will be on sale for $449.99 from August 6th to August 12th. This $50 price drop is one of the best deals for a PS5 that the console has seen in a retail store so far. This is a standalone deal, with no games bundled with the console.
When is the Target PS5 Deal?
- August 6 - August 12
Target isn’t stopping with just the PS5 deal, as there are some notable game discounts as well. The Last of Us Part 1 will be on sale for $49.99, as well as Gran Turismo 7 for the same price, saving players $20 for each game. Players looking to catch up with the series before Spider-Man 2 comes out can pick up Spider-Man: Miles Morales with a $30 price drop for $39.99. Also, MLB The Show 23 has a $30 price drop during this sale. Plus, fans can save up to $25 on a new DualSense Wireless PS5 Controller during this deal as well.
For gamers who want a PS5 right away, this looks to be a great time to purchase. However, gamers who are willing to wait longer may be able to pick up the long-rumored PS5 pro at some point down the line. Also rumored, thanks to the FTC case against Microsoft, is the PS5 Slim, which may be released in the near future and feature a detachable disc drive. It looks like gamers might have more choices than ever when it comes to the PlayStation 5.
