After a turbulent year, it doesn't look like Prime Day PS5 deals are going to give us any tasty discounts on the consoles themselves. After all, these devices have seen price increase after price increase, now sitting at a whopping $650 / $600 for a disc vs digital edition. There are still ways to save on the PS5 itself this week, so if you're hunting down a new console ahead of GTA 6 you're in luck. However, more of this year's Prime Day PS5 deals are going to serve those already with a console with the best PS5 accessories and the best PS5 games a lot better.
Official proceedings begin at midnight tonight, but that doesn't mean there aren't any early offers to take advantage of. Amazon itself has been running early Prime Day discounts on a number of PS5 games and accessories in the lead up to this week's shenanigans, and competing retailers like Best Buy have also launched their own savings as well.
Whether you're vetting the shelves before Black Friday PS5 deals come into full force, or looking to scoop up some early discounts ahead of the holiday season you'll find everything you need to know right here. We're rounding up all the biggest early Prime Day PS5 offers live as they come, but we'll also be taking you through the entire event when the clock strikes midnight.
We prioritize value and performance in every gadget we feature, so this guide is free from cheap tat. Instead, we're focusing on the tech and games we've had in our own setups over the last few years and recommend everyday. Not only that, but we're concentrating our efforts around record-low (or the year's best) prices. That means you're getting Prime Day PS5 deals on the best tech at the best price.

That means I know where to spot the best prices, how much you should actually pay, and which games and gadgets are actually worth your time and money.

Don't overlook this cheap headset
The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is pretty unassuming from its price tag. On its worst day, this is a $59.99 set of cups - but it's usually found on sale for far less than that. Right now, you'll find it at a record-low $34.99.
This is exactly where I'd drop you off if you asked for a set of cups that won't break the bank but will still do your games justice. We reviewed them about this time last year, and gave them 4.5/5 stars. Their only downfall, a pretty sub-par microphone.
If you're only interested in getting your single player adventures sounding as good as they can, this is an immediate hit. We were impressed with that luxury sound profile at this price, and PlayStation's 3D Tempest Audio is covered as well.

How much should you pay for a PS5 ahead of GTA 6?
Many have been holding out for GTA 6 before grabbing themselves a PS5 upgrade, but the timing hasn't exactly been great. Like many others across the industry, Sony has raised its prices considerably in the last 12 months and a standard disc edition console will now set you back $649.99 / £569.99. Opt for a digital edition and you're still paying $599.99 / £519.99 while a Pro will run you $899.99 / £789.99.
Discounts on box-fresh devices have been few and far between. The only way to save on a brand new device in the last few months has been the odd bundle, but even then these are incredibly rare.
While we are expecting some sort of GTA 6 package deal closer to the game's release date, there's actually an alternative route I would take.
Sony's supply of recertified devices has been pretty sturdy over the year so far, and you'll find a console for much less than its new MSRP this way. If you can find an original release (non-Slim) you're even better off - I've seen these disc versions of the original 2020 model going for $399.99 in this recertified state before.
Using this method you should be expecting to pay $499 for a digital edition and $549 for a disc console.
