I closely follow PS5 deals for this very website, and even I'm surprised by this banger. Amazon is currently selling a newly minted PS5 / Astro Bot bundle for AU$679, which is astounding value. The PS5 Slim (with disc!) generally RRPs for AU$799, and Astro Bot itself rarely drops below the AU$89 mark.
The maths is kinda obvious on this one. On any normal day you'd be spending up to AU$908.95 for what's in this bundle, though more realistically, AU$888.95, since Amazon usually sells Astro Bot for AU$89. It also helps that Astro Bot is a brilliant game. Our review goes so far as to claim it could "possibly surpass" Nintendo's 3D Mario games (I would remove the "possibly" from this, though I realise that's controversial).
This isn't technically a record low for the PS5 itself: it was down to AU$629 in November last year. But that was a standalone disc unit with no game bundled in. When the cost of Astro Bot is factored in, I'd go out on a limb and say this is the best PS5 deal I've ever seen.
If you'd prefer to walk into a store and buy this bundle, JB Hi-Fi is also offloading it for AU$679.
It's a big morning for PS5 deals. Amazon just kicked off its Big Smile sale and is discounting its digital gift cards. It's well worth a look, especially if you're looking to buy a big blockbuster game digitally and want an extra AU$20 store credit.
There's also some decent discounts on recent blockbusters, such as:
