Key information
Amazon Prime Day has officially launched, bringing numerous discounts across PlayStation 5 consoles, games, controllers, headsets, and storage devices. While fresh hardware like brand-new consoles remains mostly tied to standard pricing, shoppers can find notable price cuts on various peripherals and popular video games during the sales event.
Notable hardware and storage promotions include the 1TB Acer Predator GM7 NVMe 2.0 SSD discounted to $159.99 at Amazon. In addition, the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds are available for $149, while the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset is reduced to $344.99 from its $399.99 MSRP.
For game software, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is marked down to $19.99 at Amazon. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is available at a 52% discount for $28.69, which the author describes as its lowest price ever, noting that while the remake smooths out original rough edges, it provides a charming experience well suited for players with busy schedules.
Regarding remaining hardware implications, Sony's decision to halt physical game production by 2028 casts uncertainty on collecting physical media ahead of future console generations. Furthermore, the PlayStation VR 2 system remains entirely out of stock with a murky return outlook, and standard DualSense controllers continue to sit at full price.
