Astrobot is on sale! I repeat, Astrobot is on sale! This ridiculously charming platformer is one of the year’s must-play games (it was just nominated for GOTY at the Game Awards) and right now Astrobot is on sale for $49 at Amazon. That’s its lowest price ever.

In my Astrobot review, I had no doubts over awarding it an Editor’s Choice and said “Astro Bot is a joyful platforming experience that soars thanks to inventive level design and countless loving nods to PlayStation’s rich history. It also takes full advantage of the PS5 and its use of the DualSense controller remains novel.”

Now is the perfect time to pick up a new DualSense controller thanks to PlayStation’s Black Friday sale, but it’s not just the standard White model on sale now. This 28% off discount has been applied across the entire range so you can get an extra PS5 pad in colors such as Midnight Black, Cobalt Blue and Gray Camouflage!

To make the most of your PS5, you’ll need PS Plus! And right now, a year of this subscription service has dropped to its lowest ever price.

This gives you access to a huge library of games to download and play, along with a whole bunch of PS1, PS2 and PS3 classics to stream.

There are 3rd party controllers for PS5, but let’s be honest, for the shockingly impressive haptic vibrations and ergonomic stylings, there isn’t really anything quite like the DualSense.

It has a great feel in the hands, the buttons have a nice clickiness, and the rumble is unlike anything you’ve felt in a controller before. Sony hasn’t forgotten about these in the PlayStation Black Friday sale. You can get $20 off right now!

PS5 Slim

Yes, the 30th anniversary PS5 looks sexy as hell, but the better bet is to save yourself some serious money with the first real PS5 Slim deal. And by “real,” I mean an impressive $75 off — putting the disc drive edition down to $424 and the disc-free model at just $374.

Those who saw the leaks may see that’s actually 5 bucks less than what was leaked on that advertising material! And you know there are a few big reasons to buy what I believe is the best console of this generation, but the biggest is the games.

From Spider-Man 2 and God of War Ragnarök to Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, it’s been banger after banger for Sony’s box, and now’s the chance to experience it all yourself on the cheap.

PSVR 2

The PSVR 2 is easily one of the best VR headsets you can buy. The library of VR games on PS5 may be small, but the experiences are incredible.

I can’t get enough of Gran Turismo 7 myself. Hopping into the Lamborghini Countach (the car I had a poster of on the wall of my childhood bedroom), seeing the super detailed interior and feeling the roaring engine around me is one-of-a-kind.

Oh, and with the PC VR adaptor (now $15 off), you can take advantage of the gorgeously colorful and high resolution display tech in here in all the best VR games on Steam.

And right now, the PSVR 2 is $200 off in the US, and £65 off in the UK! For $349, that is an insane level of tech capability — advanced VR controllers, a super high resolution 4K HDR picture quality, eye-tracking, and impressive passthrough — all for less than four hundred bucks!
