More on the best gaming deals now, and Alex, one of The Independent‘s resident tech experts, predicts we’ll see some stellar PS5 savings this year, along with cheap PS5 bundles, with free PlayStation Plus memberships, games and more. While there aren’t any great deals on the PS5 at the minute, here’s a small discount, available at Amazon.
PS5 Slim disc edition: Was £479.99, now £458, Amazon.co.uk
This model, with the ability to read Blu-Ray discs, is essential for anyone whose library of games and movies is still physical. It’s the only PS5 console that still comes with a detachable disc drive as standard – not even the PS5 Pro has one of those. “A catalogue of exclusive games – many of them truly unmissable experiences – gives the PS5 a slight edge over the (technically more powerful) Xbox Series X.,” tech writer Steve wrote in his review.

Here’s one of the steepest discounts so far, on the Meta Quest 3.

With the launch of the cheaper Meta Quest 3S for £290, Meta has repriced the existing Meta Quest 3 to make its original (and still best) VR headset more enticing. The 512GB model is the most storage you can get and has come down from £619.99 to £469. It features more sophisticated lenses than those found in the budget Meta Quest 3S, so visuals look a little sharper, and it’s slimmer too.
