Prime Day PS5 deals are still going strong, and throughout this week's sales, my backlog has gotten even more ridiculous - if that's even possible.
Some of the biggest releases over the past year (and the games I've been itching to play), like Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, are still down to $39.99 at Amazon, saving you 33% off its $59.99 MSRP. It's not alone either, as the PS5 port of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is also down just $62.70 at Amazon, which marks the lowest-ever price for this version of Indy's first-person adventure.
To take full advantage of the best Prime Day PS5 deals for games on the Sony pixel-pushing beast, you will need to have a disc edition launch PS5, PS5 Slim, or the official disc drive for the fancy PS5 Pro. But being able to play physical games is worth it, especially as after Prime Day comes to an end later today, it'll be a while before any of these games see savings this low.
Should you buy physical PS5 games in 2025?
Even five years into the PS5 console's lifespan, I'm always going to be a strong advocate for buying physical games. The simple reason is, is that it's typically monumentally cheaper to pick up even reasonably new PS5 games physically than it is to grab them on the PlayStation online store.
If you have a digital-only console and don't actually have a means to play discs, I get it. You can pick up the official PS5 Disc Drive for $79 at Amazon and get the best of both worlds, but I understand not wanting to fork out that extra cost purely to play physical games. However, in the long run, you will save a lot by at least having that option open to you.
Not only will that mean you can borrow physical games from a friend, but even big new releases get cheaper months after release. I'm a huge fan of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, but I usually wait a while before picking them up. I still have yet to play Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and right now I can pick them both up for $24.99 at Amazon, and $39.99 at Amazon, respectively, which is the cost for just one of the games at launch.
If you don't have the space for physical games, that's entirely understandable. I have very limited space in my house, and constantly buying discounted PS5 games isn't helping. At least with a physical and tangible game in your hands, you can always lend it out to friends to help free up some precious gaming shelf space.
