The PlayStation 5 is Sony’s latest gaming console, and just like Microsoft’s Xbox Series X / S, it’s in high demand and limited supply. If you want to buy a PS5, you can now secure the $ 500 model with a disk drive at Target while stocks last.

PlayStation 5
Prices obtained during publication.
Sony’s next generation console, priced at $ 499.99. Compared to the $ 399.99 PS5 Digital Edition, this console includes a disc drive that lets you play both digital and physical games.
After securing your PS5 (or if you already own one), consider picking up a few items that will help you get the most out of your next-generation console. One such accessory is an additional DualSense controller in case the battery of one controller goes off and you want to keep playing but do not want to tie the charging cable.

A one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus is also good to pick up if you have not yet renewed your membership, or are new to the service. There are several benefits to having an active subscription to Sony’s online gaming service. PS5 users in particular have access to the PlayStation Plus Collection, a digital library of ‘generation-defining’ games released on the PS4.
