The PlayStation Direct Summer Sale looks so tantalising, I think I've finally been convinced to get a new PS5

My bank account is still trying to recover from last week's Prime Day PS5 deals, but the PlayStation Direct Summer Sale has just arrived, and with a quick glance, I know already that my financials are about to look a lot worse.

Amazon might be great for finding low prices on the best PS5 games, but PS Direct is one of the best places to find bargains on actual Sony hardware. When it comes to ordering anything PlayStation related that's over two digits, I almost always pull up PS Direct as it's not only reassuring to buy straight from the source, but often some of the best deals are hiding away on the online store.

Now I don't have to look much harder to find the best deals, as this new summer sale has knocked off up to £90 on PS5 consoles, and there's also 50% off PS5 games too.

My big, old chonky PS5 is on the way out, and I've been mulling over picking up a replacement of the Slim variety, and this might just be the sale that's finally convinced me to make the move. I've got my eyes on the PS5 Slim bundle with two DualSense controllers for £485.99 at PS Direct (was £529.99), and just the disc edition model on its own that's now just £434.99 (was £479) - but this sale is so juicy it's hard to make up my mind.

If you're not sure what deals are worth your time, I've picked out my favorite discounts from the PS Direct Summer Sale so you can focus more on gaming and less time on hunting for the best deals.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
