Best PlayStation deals: PS5, controllers, headsets on sale

The last couple of console generations have been interesting, with the PS4 era bringing in the idea of a standard and pro version, while the newest generation of Sony PlayStation 5 comes with both disc and digital-only versions. In fact, we’ve even seen two new versions, the Slim and the Pro, further making things a little bit more complicated. Because of that, there aren’t a ton of great deals on PS5 consoles right now, since the market is still settling, but we have found a few great renewed offers that are worth looking at.

That said, if the options below don’t quite do it for you, be sure to check out these gaming console deals instead, and if you already have a PS5, then do check out these PS5 game deals to help buff up your library.

While VR may not have taken off as much as folks thought it would 10 or 15 years ago, if you’ve always wanted to try it out, the latest PSVR2 is surprisingly excellent and made specifically to go with the PS5’s specs. Not only does it have a 2000 x 2040 resolution per eye, it also has a whopping 120Hz refresh rate, which is more than most other VR headsets out there. It also has an OLED panel, so you’re going to get excellent color reproduction and deep blacks, and the 110-degree field of view should let you see quite a ton, which is always nice to have on a VR headset.

The earbuds also have a five hour battery life, as well as an additional ten hours in the charging case for a total of 15 hours, which isn’t a ton if these weren’t gaming-specific earbuds.
