Even with Gen Con in full effect and QuakeCon on the horizon, the talk of the town this weekend is the first price cut on the PlayStation 5. The disc version of the console has been priced at $499.99 since its launch in November 2020, but you can currently pick one up at Best Buy and GameStop for $449.99. The digital-exclusive version of the PS5 is also $50 off, costing $349.99 (was $399.99).
If tabletop gaming is more your style, several great board games are also on sale this weekend. For example, Spelljammer: Adventures in Space, the D&D Campaign Collection, is currently discounted to $38.81 (was $69.99). This bundle includes hardcover versions of the Astral Adventurer’s Guide, Light of Xaryxis campaign setting, and Boo’s Astral Menagerie monster manual with a DM screen and map — all for less than what you’d currently pay for a D&D Beyond Digital code ($49.
