Looks like ps5 disc is back down to £400 again in the UK if anyone is interested? It's at Argos and Amazon but Shopto, Currys and Smyths come with a free game
I ordered my PS5 from Sony's official site and used this coupon code: VCCGBAFFWK49, which gave me a 7% discount.
You can check to see if it's still active. If not, you can check on DontPayFull if there are any new discount coupons. I always find through them some sweet deals.
@ralphdibny This current deal ends on 7th September, and yeah I'm sure there will be other sales. Not sure if they will be a great deal steeper any time soon, unless retailers reduce it further.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
for us folks here in the USA, for the Playstation 4 PSN store there's a Capcom sale which is mostly of Street Fighter 5, Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes, Resident Evil Village that's on sale sort of at 19.99 and then there's the Monster Hunter World and Rise games on sale.
PSA for people in the States — GameStop is also having sale prices on games to coordinate with the Days of Play PSN sale. So they’ve marked down their Sony first party games to match the sale. So if you prefer your games physical, then check it out.

@colonelkilgore I moved the wishlist discussion over here just to keep from derailing Wukong.
I’ve had a similar thing where I kept my own list of games to keep an eye on and then discovered that the wishlist function does a good job of doing that for me. Even if it means I keep a game on my PSN wishlist so that I can pull up said list on the PlayStation App while I’m at GameStop or Best Buy to remind me what I want to look for. 😂
Have you tried PSprices.com? I use it to reference when a game is hitting rock bottom as far as its price, and supposedly there’s a way you can register and create an account and have it track games for you and email you if the price drops. I can’t be bothered with all that though and I have an aversion to creating a bunch of website profiles. I have enough website log-ins to sink a battleship and I just don’t want any more. And the last thing I need is more emails. So I just reference the site when I want to dive in and research on my own accord. Unfortunately the PSPrices website is quite cumbersome to navigate, but it’s been helpful if you can get around the convoluted mess of it all.

@Th3solution I haven’t mate, my sort of go-to rule of thumb is if something gets a 40% reduction and it’s on my wishlist I’m down. Obviously there are occasions where the deal is even better than 40%, which is a bonus.
@colonelkilgore Yeah, if you’re paying attention to sales and the market then it won’t typically show you many surprises, but it’s sometimes interesting to see the graph of what the price of the game has done over its lifetime. But yeah, for a newish game, 40% is a fairly safe cut-off. And the site won’t give you anything about pre-owned prices (not sure if you ever buy used games) and isn’t always accurate with some of the smaller retailers.
In the U.S., GameStop does price matching, depending on who’s working there that day as it varies how liberal they are with it, so I’ve used psprices to do a quick search in store and asked them to match a current low price at another retailer. Sometimes they will, sometimes they won’t. Especially for Amazon prices, I don’t think they let you use those anymore.

If anyone likes the old Lunar Lander game from the arcades then I recommend Dropship commander.
Currently on sale for a couple of quid, has a fairly easy platinum and has PS4 and PS5 builds, crossbuy and even supports both VR headsets with the PS5 version being patched the other day.
Can be played in flat or VR.
Very much a budget title but it has that nostalgia factor, for some of us at least.
Not PS-related, but I urge anyone who plays on PC to keep an eye on official key re-sellers like Fanatical and Green Man Gaming. Some of the deals are truly absurd. Just a couple days ago, I scored a pre-purchase of the upcoming Metaphor: ReFantazio for just a hair under $40!
Currently Playing: Marvel's Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition (PS4); Plants vs Zombies (PC)
There are so many games listed for the “Under $15” sale, but which ones—of the obscure ones that are really, really, really cheap (like, around a buck)—are actually worth buying?

—Deadlight Director’s Cut
—Letterquest Remastered
—WRC 6

—Stick it to the Man
—1979 Revolution
—Salt and Sanctuary
—Salt and Sacrifice (good 2 player couch co-op, but you gotta unlock it first)

—Homefront The Revolution (especially since there’s a full port of Timesplitters 2 hidden within the game!)
—Need for Speed Payback
—Outlast and Outlast 2
—Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO
—The Fall
—WRC7
—Saints Row Gat out of Hell

@jgrangervikings1
Thank you for that, very helpful. I'm already aware of some of these and have previously played more than a couple of them (Children of Morta probably my favourite from your list) but will be sure to check out some reviews of the ones that weren't on my radar. 👍

@jgrangervikings1
Nice list. I think my favourite from that list is The Deadly Tower of Monsters which I thought was superb, truly unique game
A bargain at the sale price, also worth noting that It was "free" on ps plus years ago..
