A PlayStation Plus card for a 12-month subscription.

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.

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.

Walmart has the PS5 in stock right now, and anyone can buy it

Hurry! Walmart has the PS5 in stock right now. This is not a drill! Walmart has surprised us with a restock of the coveted new console, and it's up for grabs to anyone. As a bonus, the game comes bundled with God of War: Ragnarök. Both the console and the game are listed at their regular retail price of $500 and $60 respectively. You don't have to worry about buying a resold PS5 for twice what it's worth. For only $560 you can finally grab the illusive console for yourself.

The PlayStation 5 has had a rough launch. A microchip shortage and a worldwide pandemic combined to make Sony's supply chain a disaster. The console launched two years ago, but has still been difficult for your average consumer to buy. Sony announced in May that they would produce 18 million consoles in 2022, so things are looking up. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to walking into Walmart and grab one off the shelf anytime soon.

How to order a PS5 today with delivery before Christmas

While the Playstation 5 has become more available over the past few months, stock will likely decrease over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, especially as folks are taking advantage of Black Friday deals to grab stuff before Christmas. Luckily, if you're a member of Best Buy's TotalTech, you can grab a PS5 disc version in time for Christmas without worrying about retailers running out of stock. Best Buy will be restocking the PS5 at 9 a.m. PT, so you need to be ready and act fast before all the stock gets sold out.

You can grab a TotalTech subscription for $199 for a whole year, which is slightly expensive, but it gives you access to many perks, plus a PS5 for $500; that's a pretty good deal. With a total cost to you of $700, that's cheaper than you might find on the open market or with scalpers, so it's worth it, especially if you're a regular Best Buy customer and can take advantage of stuff like the Best Buy Black Friday deals and other special deals through TotalTech. If you aren't familiar with Best Buy's TotalTech, it's a subscription service that nets you a host of benefits, including special access to deals that aren't generally available, access to things such as Geek Squad support, extended product protection, and even free delivery and installation on a few items.

Best Buy is giving you a chance to buy the PS5 on November 7
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The PlayStation 5 was released in 2020, and since then, it has been hard to find just about anywhere. Even two years after its release, Sony's next-gen gaming console has been scarce at retailers, but if you've been dying to get your hands on a system, you might soon be in luck. Best Buy is offering shoppers a chance to buy the PS5 console starting at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT on Monday, November 7, but there is a catch: This offer is exclusive to those with a Best Buy Totaltech membership. Here's what you need to know.

The availability of the PlayStation 5 has been somewhat unusual, even in a period plagued with supply chain issues, computer ship shortages, and delivery delays. Most of those logistics problems have been cleared up by now, but for various reasons, Sony's next-gen console remains somewhat elusive. It hasn't been impossible to find, of course -- the PS5 has already sold more than 24 million units as of October 2022 (and has built up a solid library of PS5 exclusives in the process) -- but many shoppers have had to rely on signing up for email lists or keeping product pages bookmarked and checking them frequently in order to get lucky and catch one of these consoles when it becomes available.
