Best Black Friday PC gaming deals 2024: the best discounts on the best gaming gear

1. Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,199.99 at Newegg (save $400)
Yeyian has a stellar deal on an RTX 4070 Super machine here. We've seen slightly cheaper versions on sale, but this one at least does have proper DDR5 memory, making the motherboard at least nominally upgradeable to a more modern spec. It does make a bit of an odd combo with the Core i5 here, though for straightforward gaming performance, it shouldn't prove any issue and deliver high frame rates.

2. Corsair TC100 | Fabric and leatherette | $249.99 $179.99 at Best Buy (save $70)
The TC100 is our favorite affordable gaming chair right now, following up on the popular T3 Rush with a great look and genuine comfort. You can read more in our review. Right now, even with only a light discount, it's a truly excellent gaming chair that's cheaper than most of its competition.

3. Yeyian Tanto | Core i5 13400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,099 $749.99 at Newegg (save $349.01)
This isn't the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming PC we've found this sales season, but this is the one that I'd be buying right now. While the other budget systems are similarly sporting last-gen CPUs, the Core i5 13400F is identical to the 14th Gen alternative, and faster than the Arrow Lake chips for gaming. Paired up with an RTX 4060 and 16 GB of relatively quick DDR5 memory makes this a great budget system.

4. MSI MAG 321UP | 32-inch | 4K | 165 Hz | QD-OLED | $829.99 $699.99 at Amazon (save $130)
The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 321UP and the MAG321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you're not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?) then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.

5. MSI Vector 16 HX | RTX 4080 | Core i9 14900HX | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 1 TB SSD | 32 GB RAM | $2,099 $1,849 at B&H (save $250)
Of the two MSI Vector machines we've highlighted here, I'd rather this one. It has a newer, more powerful CPU, a better screen resolution and refresh rate for an RTX 4080, and 32 GB of RAM. Altogether, that makes for a pretty sweet package and an upgrade worth the extra $100 over the cheapest RTX 4080 laptop we've found so far.

6. ASRock Phantom Gaming | 27-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | IPS | $179.99 $99.77 at Newegg (save $79.22)
ASRock has become a favorite of ours around here over busy shopping periods. These screens always seem to be on offer, and from the one we've used (read our review) they're good value for the money, too. You can't really complain with this 165Hz panel for just under $100.

7. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless | 50 mm drivers | 15-21,000 Hz | Closed-back | Wireless | $199.99 $125.99 at Amazon (save $74)
The HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is one of our all-time favorite gaming headsets for many reasons, but there's a big headline feature to talk about here: 300-hour battery life. No, we didn't make a typo. 300 hours of gaming goodness on a single charge, excellent DTS:X Spatial Audio, and premium comfort features make this headset an absolute stunner of a buy at this price. In fact, when we reviewed it the only major negative we could find was a slightly uninspiring microphone. Absolutely worth a serious look this one, at any level of discount.

8. ASRock Challenger RX 7800 XT | 16 GB GDDR6 | 3,840 shaders | 2,475 MHz boost | $469.99 $449.99 at Newegg (save $20)
At this price point, the best card used to be the RX 6800 XT but these days we have deals like this one, where the 7800 XT has the same price tag. It's only a little bit faster than the card it's replaced, but you're still getting a lotta GPU for the money.

Our favorite SSD for gaming right now encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library but while it's super fast and reliable, prices are really volatile.

10. LG UltraGear 34GP63A-B | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 165 Hz | VA | Curved | $399.99 $239.99 at Amazon (save $160)
At its current price, this LG ultrawide is a genuine bargain. By comparison, Alienware's fancy QD-OLED 34-inch panel is around $800 even on sale. This LG matches its size, resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate for less than one-third of the price, although of course, it is a VA panel, not an OLED. It's also not the brightest gaming monitor ever, but it is a very good deal.

Ipason gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $849 $429 at Newegg (save $420)
Ignore the over-enthusiastic promised discount from the laughable $850 sticker price, this is a really good starter PC. The Ryzen 5 5600G's Vega GPU isn't going to get you playing the latest games at high resolutions on its own, but for some lite 720p gaming it should do fine. The main goal here, though, is to have a base that you can upgrade from with a proper discrete GPU down the line. Slap an RTX 4060 or RTX 4060 Ti in there for well under $400 and you've got a fine gaming PC without spending a fortune, and you just need a screwdriver and the will to make it happen.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $719 at Newegg (save $880)
When you're looking for the cheapest RTX 4060 gaming PC, then you are going to have to think about sacrificing superior CPU performance. This Ipason PC is sporting an old AM4 AMD CPU, it's still a six-core and 12-thread chip, but it isn't going to deliver the performance of more modern processors. But the AM4 platform still has upgrade potential for gamers, even if it's not the setup we'd suggest for anyone looking at content creation as a side hustle.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Master | Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD | $879.99 $749.99 at Best Buy (save $130)
This may be sporting a budget processor from a couple of AMD generations ago, but there is still enough about it to give that RTX 4060 support enough for 1080p gaming. You're also getting a full 1 TB SSD and 16 GB of, admittedly DDR4, memory into the bargain. The AM4 platform may be old now, but it still has upgrade legs, and should you need to in the future, you can stick a Ryzen 7 5700X3D in there to really beef up the gaming performance for not a lot of cash.

Yeyian Tanto | RTX 4060 Ti | AMD Ryzen 5 7500F | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $949.98 at Newegg
This is the cheapest RTX 4060 Ti build around at the moment, and is actually a pretty decent rig. There are other options with low-end Core i5 chips, but this Zen 4 F-series CPU comes with six cores and 12 threads, and sits in an AM5 motherboard which gives it an upgrade path. The board is pretty low-spec however, so will likely only have space for the one SSD, but what you get is a full 1 TB. And that 16 GB of DDR5-5600 is pretty quick, too.

HP Omen 35L | Ryzen 7 8700G | RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,499.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
This is one good-looking Omen machine; I'm really digging the mid-tower chassis. And for an RTX 4060 Ti machine this has got both a decent spec and a really good price. Though, what I would say is that Ryzen 7 8700G chip is not really the CPU I'd want for a dedicated gaming PC with a discrete graphics card inside it. That's a chip built for its integrated graphics. But what this system does get you, however, is an AM5 platform that will take a whole lot of upgrades over the year, and grow with you.

I was beginning to fear we wouldn't get any great Cyber Monday PC deals, but this ABS machine is giving me hope. This is a great mid-range PC with an great supporting spec for the RTX 4070 GPU. The Core i5 chip is a 10-core, 14-thread processor, more than capable of giving the RTX 4070 the data it needs to feed on, and that hefty 32 GB of fast DDR5 is a great addition, too. This will be an outstanding rig for the cash.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | Ryzen 7 8700F | AMD RX 7800 XT | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD | $1,399 $1,199 at Walmart (save $200)
This PC comes with a bunch of caveats, but for this price it's difficult to say no. That's because it features an RX 7800 XT (between RTX 4070 and 4070 Super performance), 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB storage. However, the 8700F processor it comes with isn't the best—only 16 MB cache, which isn't great for gaming compared to, say, a 7600X—so bear in mind you'll probably want to upgrade this down the line. It's socket AM5, though, so doing so should be a breeze.

This is a great option for those of you looking for a powerful build with an AMD GPU that doesn't break the bank. The great thing about the 7800 XT is that you're getting 16 GB of VRAM for a reasonable price. It performs somewhere between the RTX 4070 and 4070 Super, too, so it'll do just fine for 1440p and even some 4K gaming.

I will freely admit this is not the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti Super machine we've seen this sales season, but it is sporting a better spec than the more affordable, but sadly now out of stock options. That 7700X was one of our favorite chips from the Zen 4 generation and offers a great eight-core, 16-thread chip for gaming, and more than enough to keep up with the excellent Nvidia GPU. You're also getting 32 GB of relatively quick DDR5 and a 750 W PSU which would be enough for an RTX 4080 Super upgrade... or potentially the future equivalent. And yeah, I dig that chassis.

Yeyian seems to be one of the few PC builders still stocking good Black Friday deals into the weekend, and while this is the old RTX 4080 and not the Super variant, it's still a mighty powerful graphics card in a rig for less than $2,000. The Core i7 CPU is a fine pairing for the GPU, and is backed up by 32 GB of relatively speedy DDR5 memory. The 1 TB SSD is the bare minimum, but this still feels like a good gaming PC for the money.

This gaming PC deal is for those of you who want to nab a PC with a really high-end graphics card at a good price. If you can spare a little extra cash or wait for a better deal, it might be better to opt for a rig with more storage and RAM, but these things can be upgraded easily anyway, and for $2,100 it's hard to say no to a Core i7 and RTX 4080 Super build.

Yeyian Gaming PC | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | AMD RX 7900 XTX | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $2,179 at Amazon
This Yeyian gaming PC is for those of you looking for a high-end all-AMD gaming PC. The RX 7900 XTX is about as powerful as Nvidia's best offering, the RTX 4080 Super, and it has more VRAM to boot, which is great for things like content creation. The 7800X3D processor was our previous best pick for gaming, too, and it's still fantastic thanks to heaps of cash. The only downsides to this rig, really, are the 7900 XTX's ray tracing performance compared to the 4080 Super and its 1 TB of storage. I'd be slapping another 1 TB in there ASAP

Let's be upfront about this—8 GB of RAM is not enough in 2024. But when you're talking about a gaming notebook that costs just $650, but with a decent RTX 40-series GPU inside it, I can swallow it. Especially when you can easily upgrade the RAM with just a wee screwdriver in hand. And 16 GB of fast dual-channel DDR5 is just $50-odd right now. The RTX 4050 is just a 75 W variant, so not the outright fastest, but will still definitely do the job at 1080p. For this sorta money, that's all you can ask.

Ok, so the SSD is small. Still, it's the easiest thing to upgrade on a laptop, and the rest of the specs are rather nice for the cash. The RTX 4060 handily beats the RTX 4050 by a considerable margin, the screen is a plenty fast 1200p 165 Hz panel, and it's got a nice dose of DDR5. Stick a bigger SSD in it, and it's a nicely balanced machine.

This is easily the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop on the list right now, and the cheapest I think I've ever seen one on sale for. The RTX 4070 isn't a super low spec either, and seems to be a 115 W version. The only real concern I have is that the 512 GB SSD will get filled up fast, but there is a second SSD slot easily accessible in the back of the laptop, so is an easy upgrade. The screen isn't super bright, either, but at 300 nits it will be fine unless you're in a bright office or direct sunlight.

It may be a bit of a chonker, but this is the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop we've got on the list. It's sporting a proper 140 W version of the GPU, too, so it's no slouch. Probably thanks to it being a chonker. With that you get a mighty capable Core i7 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. Seriously, what more could you want?

You're only getting a 1080p screen here, which is a bit of a shame as the rest of the components are all excellent. Still, that RTX 4070 will have no problem pushing that 144 Hz panel to its limits in many games at that res, plus the 10-core (six P-core, four E-core) CPU has some decent DDR5 to play with. It's not perfect, but for this money, it's an excellent deal.

This Alienware gaming laptop not only offers what we'd expect to see in a $1,200 machine in 2024, but it also comes with one somewhat unexpected item. That's the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, a low-power processor from the Meteor Lake generation. With 16 cores total, this chip makes a good pairing with an RTX 4070 for a power-savvy gaming laptop.

We tend to like our gaming laptops on the small side, but this desktop-replacing behemoth is truly excellent value for what you get inside. There's a proper RTX 4070 handling the graphics duties, a nicely performant Core i7 13700HX and some decent DDR5 rounding off a powerful, if rather ginormous, gaming beast.

This is a big chonker of a laptop, with a honking great 17-inch 240 Hz display. Combine that with a proper mobile RTX 4070, 16 GB of DDR5 and a 1 TB SSD, and you've got a big lappy with plenty of horsepower and a super speedy screen for a good price.

This is a very specific type of laptop for a very specific type of person, but if you are that person, there's a good saving to be had. It's a teeny tiny little device with an RTX 4060 and one of Intel's Meteor Lake chips inside it. It has a more sleek chassis than most on this list, though that does come with a higher fee. It's basically RTX 4070 money for an RTX 4060.

The TUF A14 was a bit of a surprise package to arrive in the PCG office this year, and I ended up a big fan in my review of it. It's a big upgrade on the previous generation of 14-inch, taking many of the design notes from the premium Zephyrus range, but doing so in a more affordable form. It's still a little pricey for an RTX 4060 laptop if that's all you're after, but for a compact 14-inch version, it's a bit of a bargain.

Acer's Helios line of laptops goes up to some mighty (and mighty pricey) configs, but this one is a bit more affordable. You get that super-fast 240 Hz screen, a proper RTX 4070, and one of Intel's top mobile chips, the Core i9 14900HX. It'll likely run pretty toasty with that beefy Intel chip in the mix, but power-wise it's a pretty mean gaming machine.

If you want to throw portability out the window and go large, how about this Acer? It's got a huge (for a laptop) 18-inch 165 Hz LED backlit IPS display, and a 140 W TGP RTX 4070 to keep all 1600p of it duly fed. It's not something you're likely to want to haul around too often, but if you're the sort of person who likes to keep your lappy at home for multi-room gaming, it's a great shout for the price.

Lenovo Legion gaming laptops have been excellent performers for a while now, and this one has specs to impress.

That resolution might be a bit much for the RTX 4070 in demanding games, but there's always DLSS 3 to keep the frame rate smooth. 32 GB of DDR5 is great to see, too.

The ROG Zephyrus G16 is our favorite gaming laptop. Like, literally it's our pick as the best gaming laptop, and we've tried a whole lot this year. Admittedly, we like it most with AMD's Ryzen AI HX 370 inside it, rather than this Intel Core Ultra chip, though it shouldn't make a tremendous difference to the overall experience. The main thing is, it's a sleek laptop with a gorgeous chassis and an RTX 4070.

This isn't quite the cheapest gaming laptop we've found with an RTX 4080 in the center of it, and it's a bit of odd machine, in that the resolution is 1920 x 1200 and only 144 Hz, which means you'll be limited by the screen sometimes with the RTX 4080 at its core.

Not on its deal worthiness (it's a monster of a laptop and the Razer premium is real even if slightly mitigated by this deal), but on whether this Mini-LED model with a 2 TB SSD is worth it over the OLED version below with a 1 TB drive. This one benefits from a beefy resolution that can be tuned to 1200p and 240 Hz if you want more frames, plus it has double the storage. All of which makes it, in my opinion, better than the one below.

Spending nearly $1,000 on a TV that's just 48-inches might not seem like a great idea but Samsung's S90D is worth every penny. That QD-OLED panel is absolutely glorious to behold and it's perfect for gaming too, with 144 Hz VRR and ALLM support. It's even G-Sync Compatible, so PCs with GeForce cards can enjoy a tear-free spot of gaming. However, that mode only works properly when the refresh rate is 120 Hz or below.

HP's FX900 Pro certainly fits all those parameters, and with these kinds of speeds on offer, this SSD is no slouch. It has all the specs you might want at this level, including 1 GB of DRAM for heavy workloads.

Nextorage NEM-PAB | 1 TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,400 MB/s Read | 6,100 MB/s write | $149.99 $67.99 at Newegg (save $82)
Nextorage may be a relatively new name in NMVe SSDs but don't be fooled by appearances. This drive uses the ubiquitous Phison E18 controller, and the 1 TB version represents excellent price/performance value here. This version without a DRAM cache makes it less responsive than the DRAM-equipped NEM-PA model, despite having a slight advantage in stated straight-line performance.

This is a huge saving on a 2230 format SSD that performs pretty nicely, as we found when we reviewed the 2 TB version. Crucial's performance claims are very much peak values and the real-world numbers are generally lower, but at this price, it's a great way to boost your Steam Deck's storage and get a handy speed bump.

Not enough M.2 NVMe slots on your motherboard for more storage? No problem—you can still install a speedy SSD via a SATA port. The Crucial MX500 is pretty much the best out there, as nothing else offers the same blend of performance and value for money as the MX500.

Samsung's relatively new 990 Evo Plus range has a lot going for it (check out our review) but its launch price was too high. This deal goes a long way to rectify that but for a DRAM-less SSD, it's still a bit pricey. One for Samsung's fans and its excellent Magician software.

If you absolutely must have the fastest possible SSD, you need to get a Gen5 model. Team Group's Z540 is ridiculously quick in benchmarks, but no game that takes advantage of that speed exists yet. As with all Gen5 SSDs, it's very expensive and runs really hot, so it's probably best to wait for the next round of PCIe 5.0 SSDs before taking the plunge.

There's no DRAM to boost sustained performance and the SLC cache isn't especially big, either. But the speed is good enough for most workloads and when 1 TB of storage costs this much, who cares that it's not flash or fancy? Not us, that's for sure.

This SSD is a great deal right now and Lexar has put together a superb SSD in the NM790.

Prices for the XS70 are some of the most variable I've seen for an SSD, so it's perhaps worth waiting to see if the price dips again before picking one up. It packs rather a large bang for your buck with its fast read and write times, at least. While the software side of things may be a little lacking, we were impressed with this drive's overall performance and value proposition.

Samsung's 990 Pro is a very solid SSD (read our review), albeit rather pricey for what it is.

This Silicon Power might not be the fastest of drives, but it's difficult to argue with this much storage for this sort of money. With a sequential read/write of 5,000 MB/s and 4,500 MB/s, it's still not what you'd call slow and should be fine for gaming; plus it comes from a reliable brand.

If you have an AMD AM4 motherboard and it's currently sporting an older Ryzen processor, the 5700X is a really cheap way to upgrade your gaming PC's number of CPU cores and threads. With a TDP of just 65 W, it's easy to cool and it's even unlocked for a spot of overclocking.

Intel Core i5 14600KF | 14 cores | 20 threads | 5.3 GHz boost | 24 MB L3 cache | 125 W TDP | LGA1700 socket | $191 at Amazon
Intel's best mid-range processor for years was good value at full price but it's even better now it's sub-$200. Six P-cores and eight E-cores, for 20 threads in total, make it a brilliant all-round processor. It does get quite hot, though, when maxed out.

Six cores are more than enough for most games, especially when they're as potent as those in this Ryzen 5 9600X (check out our review). You really only need more if you like to do lots of content creation tasks, like video editing and offline rendering.

Looking to give your AMD AM4 gaming PC a nice CPU upgrade without spending a fortune? Well, this is the processor to pick. Cheaper than the 5800X3D but only a fraction slower, it's a brilliant gaming CPU (read our review). Slap on a decent air cooler and you'll be set for years.

The Core i7 14700K is probably Intel's best-balanced CPU for gaming and serious content creation workloads (read our review). Make sure whatever motherboard you use it in has the latest BIOS installed to avoid voltage problems and it's worth tweaking the power limits (increase PL1, decrease PL2) to stop it from getting overly toasty.

Somewhat overpriced at launch, this jack-of-all-trades AM5 CPU is much better value at this price. Not the best at gaming nor content creation tasks, the 9900X is a decent everyman's choice, as you can see in our review.

MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk | AM4 socket | 4x PCIe slots | 2x M.2 slots | 6x USB rear ports | $159.99 $109.07 at Amazon (save $50.92)
Why is this MSI motherboard so much cheaper than its Max variant, you may ask? Well, there's no onboard Wi-Fi for a start, and...well, that's pretty much it really. It's not quite as geared up for overclocking as the Max (though it can still do it) but if you don't care about that, just get this one and buy a Wi-Fi dongle with the money you've saved.

ASRock B650M PG Lightning | AM5 socket | 2x PCIe slots | 3x M.2 slots | 8x USB rear ports | $129.99 $119.99 at Amazon (save $10)
Due to its micro ATX form factor, you only get two PCIe slots and 8 rear USB ports, plus there's no onboard Wi-Fi. However, this little ASRock is a real cracker and it's perfect for anyone looking to build a budget AMD AM5 gaming PC.

Don't be fooled by the basic looks of this Intel LGA1700 motherboard from ASRock. You've got everything you need to have a great gaming PC, although you could argue that a few more fast USB ports would be nicer. Still, you get an old PS/2 port in the rear IO panel, for when you're doing liquid nitrogen overclocking!

Not a huge saving but this MSI motherboard is perfect for a budget AM4 Ryzen gaming build. You don't get many USB ports on the rear panel and there are only two M.2 slots, but the wealth of PCIe slots means you can have more ports and storage with expansion cards.

This is a nice saving on a very nice Intel LGA1700 motherboard. You're getting a reasonable number of fast PCIe slots (the top one is Gen 5) and M.2 ports (they're all Gen 4), and plenty of USB ports in the rear panel. If you're looking to build a powerful 14th Gen Intel gaming PC, you won't go wrong with choosing this to start it off.

At this price, this Asus AM5 motherboard is much better value than when it first came to market. Packed with a three M.2 slots, including one PCIe 5.0 and two PCIe 4.0 slots, so you can nab yourself a couple of fancy M.2 SSDs.

If you have an older gaming laptop, then you can give it a handy boost by fitting more, or faster, RAM. This G.Skill kit is as basic as they come but at this price, it's well worth it. Note that not every laptop will be able to use the full speed but the kit will run fine at lower ratings.

Sometimes all you want, or even need, in your gaming PC is simple but fast RAM. That's exactly what this 32 GB from Team Group is and it's ideal for AMD and Intel's latest processors. No RGB, no spikey heatsinks, just a great all-round memory kit.

While DDR5-6000 is the sweet spot for AMD CPUs, Intel's 13th and 14th Gen Core, and its new Core Ultra 200S processors, will happily take DDR5-6400. It's only a small performance boost so one shouldn't pay too much for it. Fortunately, this Corsair kit is priced just right, though its CAS latency isn't the best.

The looks might be very subjective but there's no denying that this is a very fast memory kit, rated to 7,200 MT/s and a CAS latency of just 34 cycles. That's genuinely fast but there's no guarantee of it working in your gaming PC, so check with your motherboard's vendor to see if the kit will work. Even if it does, you might need to do further tweaking in the BIOS. One for serious overclockers and enthusiasts only.

The latest gaming laptops and pre-built desktop PCs, as well as motherboards, often come with Wi-Fi 7 support so if you're router isn't the same, you're missing out on a potential boost to your home wireless network. At this price, you can use your existing router as a modem, hook the Archer BE550 to it via a LAN port, and enjoy full Wi-Fi speeds.

Super pricey and the lack of 2.5G LAN ports is a bit disappointing, when the cheaper GE800 has them. But for sheer wireless performance, the RS700S is hard to beat (read our review). Best suited for those who don't really want a wired network or a router with in-your-face looks.

No, you haven't misread that price, it really is $1,300 worth of wireless routers. But hear me out. If you have a very large house and you're using a single router, you'll almost certainly have signal dead spots everywhere. Mesh systems solve this problem by providing a continuous single network that you can seamlessly move about. Amazon's Eero Max 7 is very easy to set up and use, as we found when we reviewed it. With four units in this package, you could set up a wireless network on a small farm.

PSVR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle | 2000 x 2040 per eye | 90-120 Hz | Inside out tracking | USB Type-C | $599.99 $349 at Amazon (save $250)
This is a really nice saving that is only really worth going for over Meta's offering if you are a very specific type of person. If you like both PS5 and PC, and would prefer Sony's admittedly small but fun lineup of titles over what the Quest store has to offer, this is a good saving, and is the same price as the bundle without Horizon Call of the Mountain. The PSVR2 is one of the most comfortable headsets on the market right now and the PS5's foveated rendering is truly phenomenal, though those who plug this into PCVR with the adapter don't get the same tech.

The pack we've picked out comes with the Vive Wired Streaming Kit for lossless streaming quality, and a game pack, giving you the choice between two different new game bundles. If you want a super high resolution and lossless play, this is worth keeping on your radar.
