What Prime Day PS4 Deals To Expect

Some gamers are already upgrading from the PlayStation 4 to the PlayStation 5, but that doesn’t mean the PS4 is a dying console. Developers will continue to roll out games for the 7-year-old system, so it’s still a good idea to take advantage of Prime Day PS4 deals if you don’t own the console yet. There will likely be bundles for the PS4 that includes games and accessories, as Amazon will look to unload its stocks of the console. Meanwhile, for current PS4 owners, Prime Day will be a great opportunity to expand your gaming collection and to buy accessories such as extra controllers.

What Prime Day PS4 Deals We Saw Last Year

Last year’s Prime Day happened before the launch of the PlayStation 5, so gamers were looking forward to the new system. Amazon still offered Prime Day PS4 sales though, despite the hype surrounding the PS5, as there was still high demand due to 2020’s PS4 exclusives like The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Should You Buy New a PS4 on Prime Day?

The PlayStation 5 is here, but the PlayStation 4 still offers years of gaming with its massive stable of games. You’re missing out if you haven’t played the best PS4 exclusives, so its still highly recommended to buy a new PS4 on Prime Day. It’s also smart to take advantage of the discounts to buy games and accessories for the console, to get yourself set for months, or even years, of PS4 gaming.

The Best PS4 Deals Happening Now

With Prime Day happening next week, the discounts that you can enjoy from the annual shopping event will be worth the wait. However, if you have the budget to purchase the PlayStation 4 right now and you’re already looking forward to all the games that you can play on the console, then you should check out the best PlayStation deals that are currently available.

The PlayStation 5 Slim Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle coincides with the launch of the PlayStation 5 Slim, an updated version of the console with a slimmer design and more storage space. This bundle comes with a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which is the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter series.

This PS5 bundle gets you a PlayStation Portal and it’s not sold out, yet

The PlayStation Portal is an excellent, albeit exclusive handheld gaming console that works with the PS5. In our Portal review, we made it clear that while it cuts a lot of corners, it is an excellent companion to Sony's titular current-gen console. But to make the most of it, you really do need a PS5, which means if you don't have one, there's no point in buying a Portal until you do. Well, we spotted an incredible bundle that includes the PlayStation 5 Slim, a PlayStation Portal, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 all together, all for you, at one great price. For $750, normally $760, so saving you $10, it's all yours. But here's the thing, the PlayStation Portal has pretty much been sold out everywhere. This bundle gets your hands on it, plus everything else you need to play. It even includes Spider-Man, so you can web-sling as soon as you set it up. If you've been searching high and low for the Portal, don't sleep on this deal.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 with PlayStation Portal bundle
The PlayStation 5 is a fantastic gaming console, but the exclusive games available on the platform are second to none. God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, I could go on and on. But one of the better features of the PlayStation 5 is the option to remotely play your games on compatible devices, from your smartphone to a PS4 in another room, you can connect in, stream, and play, just like if you were sitting in front of your PS5. The PlayStation Portal takes that to a whole new level.
