While we’re gearing up for more awesome Mario Day deals to drop on March 10, one of this weekend’s best deals is focused on a console that can’t play any Mario games: the PlayStation 5. There are notable discounts on both the digital and disc-based versions of the new slim Sony console that’s bundled with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. These can save you a total of $120 off the combined price of the console and the game, making this one of the best discounts on the PlayStation 5 console to date.
If you’re not looking to bring home Sony’s console, don’t worry. We’ve also found an excellent deal on the Meta Quest 2 VR headset, a sitewide sale at the Ubisoft Store, discounts on Mario-themed Lego sets, and more.
As we do every weekend, we’re providing you with our favorite deals from the worlds of gaming and entertainment, plus the scoop on the best-selling products that have made a recent appearance on Polygon.
In case you’ve been considering a PS5, you sure picked a good time to buy. Bundles featuring the slimmer, disc-based PlayStation 5 that include a code for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are selling for $449.99 at Amazon and Best Buy (was $559.99). This deal has been happening for the past week and change. However, you can now find the digital (as in, discless) version of the slim PlayStation 5 at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target for just $399.99. Buying the digital console without any game added in typically costs $449.99.
Both of these bundles save you about $110 on the combined price of both items. Even if Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 isn’t your jam, don’t worry. Sony’s console is home to many awesome console exclusives, like the recent hit Helldivers 2, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
