PS5 Cyber Monday Deals: What to Expect?
Although general PS5 stock has been decent the second half of the year, many are wondering whether the console, itself, will see a wave of restocks -- while it hasn't been next to impossible, it's still tricky to get your hands on it.
There will likely be restocks. And, when they launch, you'll want to act fast; it won't take any more than a few days for console stock to be depleted again. You can use Visualping as a PS5 stock checker, to monitor retailer web pages and beat the rush with PS5 inventory updates.
A number of retailers seem to be putting PS5 restocks behind timed events this holiday season. That's an indication some retailers are planning to hol stock until Cyber Monday, when they know folks will be ready to splash the cash on the PS5.
In terms of general PS5 deals, the hardware landscape is well-populated at the moment, and is set to be rife with more deals during the holiday sales. If you want to know as soon as these PS5 deals become available so you don't miss out, sign up with a price tracker for free discount alerts.
So Restocks are Possible. What about Discounts?
The PS5 has been out for nearly two years, but, thanks to the ongoing semiconductor shortage, it’s been consistently hard to get your hands on a console; demand is high, and demand will only rise the closer we get to Cyber Monday.
It’s unlikely, then, console price tags will get chopped – especially considering Sony just raised the price in select regions, including Canada and Europe.
But that doesn't mean retailers won't whip up exciting PS5 bundles, that'll most likely include the console, for an overall discounted price. These are likely your best chance at scoring the console this year, and absolutely worth keeping an eye on.
PS5 accessories closely aligned with seasonal deals and, hence, will probably shine on Cyber Monday are a cascade of PS5 games -- although these aren't always as impressive as they're made out to be -- PS5 headsets, SSDs and external hard drives.
You'll also see deals on the best TVs for PS5, and PS5 monitors.
Last year, it was SSDs and hard drives, in particular, that really went off last year.
