It's taken 12 years, but Dragon's Dogma 2 is finally swooping onto store shelves this week, and judging by the early review scores, the wait has been worth it.

It’s been a minute since we’ve had a solid discount on the PlayStation 5, but Best Buy has the first big deal of the year. Right now you can pick up the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle for just $449.99 (was $499.99). This bundle includes a copy of the game and the newer, slim version of the disc-based PlayStation 5. At its regular price, this bundle already saves you the $69.99 cost of buying the game on its own. And, with Best Buy’s $50 off sale on top of that, it’s effectively paying you to play Spider-Man 2.

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. While Sony says you shouldn’t expect any major first-party exclusives in 2024, it will soon receive the first wave of titles that were previously exclusive to Xbox, like Pentiment and Sea of Thieves.
We haven’t seen a better deal on the PlayStation 5 since the holidays, and with the PlayStation library only getting bigger, there’s never been a better time to pick up Sony’s console.

Nintendo potentially brought the curtain down on its amiibo era last month by releasing its Sora amiibo. The addition of the Kingdom Hearts hero to its Smash Ultimate collection means every fighter in the game now has their own amiibo. For figures released alongside a new game, you have to go back even further. Zelda and Ganondorf's Tears of the Kingdom amiibo were released last year, and after selling out fast wherever they pop up, the figures are back in stock at Best Buy.

This weekend I'm not only seeing some of my favorite games included in Best Buy's PS5 deals, but they're also at prices well worth grabbing.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is the most successful reinvention of the classic Ubisoft franchise since 2003’s Sands of Time, reframing the platforming prince as a vivid Metroidvania. If you haven’t had the chance to play The Lost Crown on Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch, you can currently pick up a physical copy from Best Buy for $29.99 (was $49.99). This is the best price we’ve seen so far, and it’s an impressive discount considering the game debuted in January 2024.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has dropped to just $29.99 at Best Buy right now (see here). That's $20 off the MSRP and well worth the price of admission. While Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown sales numbers haven't been released just yet (among plenty of other Ubisoft games), it did receive some glowing reviews and seems to be one of the better games released so far this year.

You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get into PC gaming because there are gaming laptop deals like Best Buy’s offer for the Acer Nitro 5. The starter gaming laptop, which is already relatively affordable at its original price of $950, is currently even cheaper at just $700. You’ll be able to use the $250 in savings on video games and gaming accessories, but you’ll have to act fast if you want it because we’re not sure how much time is remaining before the bargain disappears, and once that happens, we don’t know when you’ll get another chance at it.
