Today's best PS5 bundle deals
This bundle is $75 off right now and nets you a PS5 Slim console with its disc reader attachment for playing physical games or watching DVDs. You also get a DualSense Wireless Controller and an exclusive Fortnite item pack.
If you want to cut down on clutter, the cheaper Digital Edition console is also discounted in a bundle.

Throw in a speedy SSD that makes loading games much faster, plus an innovative controller with revolutionary haptics, and you have one of the best consoles right now.
As for the digital Fortnite content included in these bundles, you not only get an outfit, back bling, a pickaxe, a weapon wrap, a drum instrument, a boost, wheels, and a new trail but also 1,000 V-Bucks to spend in the in-game store. That's a pretty nifty bonus.
