Best PlayStation VR 2 Deals
PlayStation VR 2 – Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle
15
The PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle is down to $374 right now at Walmart, which is just $25 away from its Black Friday and Cyber Monday price. It’s currently listed as a flash deal, so act fast to take advantage of this limited time offer.
This package is a great value for everything you’re getting (the PSVR2 headset and controllers alongside the Horizon Call of The Mountain game), and pushes the PSVR2 as a strong contender against budget-friendly options like the Meta Quest, delivering a premium virtual reality experience without the eye-watering cost.
Sony also recently gave the PSVR2 a new lease on life by adding PC VR support, allowing owners of the second-generation headset to play PC VR games like Half-Life: Alyx, providing they have the new Sony-made adapter.

PS5 games continue to grow in size, and with SSD prices climbing, finding the right storage at a great price is more important than ever. We’ve listed our favorite deals just here, but ensure you’re checking back for more updates as often as possible, as new SSD deals pop up all the time.
Keep in mind that not all SSDs are compatible with the PS5. To ensure optimal performance on the best PS5 SSD, you’ll need a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 drive with a minimum read speed of 5,500MB/s to match the console’s internal storage.
Where to Buy: PS5 Pro
PlayStation 5 Pro
47
Launched with widespread availability – unlike the infamous scarcity of the original PS5 launch – the PS5 Pro is currently still in stock across major retailers.
The PS5 Pro is designed for gamers who prioritize graphics and performance, especially those with high-end TVs that can take full advantage of its power. But it comes at a premium: At $700 plus tax (and minus a disc drive), it’s an investment that makes sense if you’re looking to elevate your gaming experience.
Not everyone needs it, of course; if you’re satisfied with your current visuals or aren’t particularly sensitive to frame rates, the PS5 Pro may be more of a luxury than a necessity.
Where to Buy: PlayStation Portal
PlayStation Portal Remote Player
59
The PlayStation Portal has come a long way since its launch. Initial skepticism surrounded the device, but over time, it has proven itself as a handy companion for PS5 owners.
Despite stock challenges and surges in demand, a new feature is now making it even more appealing to potential buyers.
Sony recently rolled out an update for the PlayStation Portal, currently in opt-in beta, allowing PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream games from the cloud.
This means you can now enjoy a library of games on the go—even if you don’t own a PS5. The update adds another compelling reason to consider the PlayStation Portal.
How to Trade in Your Old PlayStation Consoles
If you’re looking to trade in your old PlayStation consoles, you can do so at select retailers in-store and online. Often, the most widely available retailers are GameStop and Best Buy. However, you can also trade your used devices online at retailers such as Amazon and Microsoft.
Some retailers will offer you cash for your used goods, while others may provide you with a gift card that can be used in-store and online. This is a great way to offload your old gaming gear and get some money that you can put towards a newer console and games.
While trading devices in at retailers will often net you the lowest amount for your used consoles, there are also online marketplaces such as eBay, Craigslist, and OfferUp that may fetch higher prices, but you’ll often be responsible for packing and shipping costs, or be required to meet someone in person for the transaction, the latter of which poses its own risks.
