Labor Day sales never dish out the kind of juicy PS5 deals I've come to expect from other events, but there's never been a more pressing time to grab PS5 bundle deals and other goodies at a discount.

Last week, Sony announced it was increasing the price of the PS5 by $50, which includes the digital and disc-edition versions of the Slim model and the PS5 Pro. With the Sony console more pricey than ever before, there's a whole new emphasis on finding the best Labor Day PS5 deals.

This year, I'm using all of my experience covering online sales events to bring you Sony savings that are actually worth your time. Fortunately for me, while the big day might not be until September 1, US retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon have already begun to roll out their Labor Day sales to make my job a little easier, and your PS5 gaming setup a little fuller.

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.
