It’s always a good time to buy consoles, games, and accessories through gaming deals, which includes PlayStation deals for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Whichever Sony console you own, you’ll want to sign up to PlayStation Plus to maximize it. CDKeys, a reliable source for PS Plus deals, will let you skip paying full price for the service, as it’s selling a 3-month PS Plus subscription for $21, down $7 from the original price of $28, and a 12-month PS Plus subscription for $39, down $21 from the original price of $60.

3-month PS Plus subscription – $21, was $28

12-month PS Plus subscription – $39, was $60

The primary purpose of a PlayStation Plus subscription is that it enables online multiplayer, which is a requirement to make the most out of games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Madden NFL 21, and Monster Hunter: World. Not all games require an active PS Plus membership, but for those that have online multiplayer modes, you’ll be missing out on a lot of fun if you don’t even try them.

Purchasing a PlayStation Plus membership will give you access to exclusive discounts on the PlayStation Store, and to cloud saves so that you won’t lose your progress if something happens to your console. Sony also rolls out free games to download every month, which you can keep playing as long as your subscription remains active. The free games for August 2021 are Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville and Tennis World Tour 2 for the PlayStation 4, and Hunter’s Arena: Legends for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. For PlayStation 5 owners, you’ll also get to play all the titles in the PS Plus Collection, which includes God of War, The Last of Us Remastered, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 are powerful consoles, but you’ll need an active PlayStation Plus subscription if you want to unlock their full potential. You don’t have to allocate a huge part of your gaming budget though, as CDKeys is offering a 3-month PS Plus subscription at $7 off, bringing its price down to $21 from $28, and a 12-month PS Plus subscription at $21 off, lowering its price to $39 from $60. The discounts may disappear at any moment, so if you haven’t purchased a PS Plus membership, don’t hesitate. Click either Buy Now button as soon as you can.

The Sony Official INZONE H3 gaming headphones are cheap today — only $48
Sony INZONE H3 gaming headphones wired for Prime Big Deal Days

As far as Prime Big Deal Days discounts go, this next one on Sony's Official INZONE H3 gaming headphones is pretty shocking. Why? It's 52% off which is a huge discount anyway, but Sony's gear rarely goes on sale. If you want immersive gaming via a wired connection, spatial surround, low-latency audio, and a snug fit, these headphones are right for you. Normally $100, they're on sale today for just $48. It's only a limited-time deal, though, which means it could go away at any time. Don't wait.

 
Why shop this Sony INZONE H3 gaming headphones deal for Prime Big Deal Days?
We've covered Sony's INZONE gaming headsets before, as well as the Sony INZONE gaming earbuds and one thing we've certainly taken away from these products is they are standouts in their class. You get to experience immersive 360-degree spatial sound while playing. You benefit from crystal-clear communication thanks to the headset with a flip-to-mute mic. Plus, there's virtually no latency, if at all, thanks to the 3.5mm wired connection.
