While everyone’s fighting over PS5 Pro and 30th Anniversary Collection pre-orders, JB Hi-Fi has quietly dropped the price on a bunch of PS5 gear in a pretty decent sale.
It looks like JB has pulled the trigger early on a broader PlayStation sale, based on a promotional banner featured on the retailer’s website. According to the banner, the PlayStation 5 sale goes from 27 September until 10 October, meaning it’s started a day early.
JB Hi-Fi’s sale includes healthy discounts on PS5 consoles, controllers, and games. Notably, even the customisable DualSense Edge controller is on sale, as is the PlayStation Portal remote streaming device.
I recently picked up the Portal (right before the sale, just my luck!) and I really like it as a comfortable way to play PS5 games away from the TV. A word of caution though, you need a solid Wi-Fi network to get the best experience.
JB Hi-Fi PS5 sale highlights
You can grab up to $124 off PS5 consoles and accessories in JB Hi-Fi’s sale. Here are the big-ticket items currently discounted:
- PS5 console: $675 (was $799)
- PS5 digital console: $575 (was $679)
- PlayStation Portal: $299 (was $329)
- DualSense controller: $99 (was $119)
- DualSense Edge controller: $299 (was $339)
It’s likely that other retailers will follow suit either later today or tomorrow, considering the sale is officially meant to start on the 27th. These deals are reasonable but they might get even better once more retailers add to the competition.
It’s not the cheapest the PS5 has ever been but it’s a nice discount nonetheless. PlayStation also recently increased the price of DualSense controllers, so the savings aren’t as substantial as in years gone by.
Regardless, a sub-$700 console likely appeals to more people than a new $1,200 device.
