Amazon Prime Day deals: Best deals on the PS5 and Xbox

Amazon Prime Day is in full swing. Thousands of products, including video games and game consoles, have been massively discounted in this ongoing promotion. Alongside Amazon, other retail stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are also running subscriber-only promotions to boost sales this week. Thus, now might be the best time to bag a brand new home video gaming machine or a few copies of games to fill up your library.

Although deals on the consoles are rare, hundreds of games have been discounted. In addition, if you are looking for a PS5 bundle with an extra controller and an extra game in the box, you might be in luck.

Let's review the best deals on the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series consoles.

What are the best prices of the PS5 this Amazon Prime Day?

• Launch MSRP: $499
• Current price: $499 (-0%)

We didn't spot a PS5 deal on Amazon. However, as part of Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale, the retail store sells the console for $500 for the disc edition. Although this isn't a penny less than the launch MSRP, pricing has increased due to the chip shortage. Thus, if you want to snag a Disc edition PS5 at the 2020 launch MSRP, look no further than Best Buy.

What are the best prices of the Xbox Series X this Amazon Prime Day?

• Launch MSRP: $499
• Current price: $489 (-2%)

The Xbox Series X, however, can be bought for $10 less than its $500 launch MSRP. As part of the Amazon Prime Day sale, the store is stocking the Microsoft gaming console for $490 today, making it a better deal than the PlayStation. Do note that we expect the deal to remain valid post-Prime Day. So, you don't have to hurry up to claim this $10 discount.

What are the best prices of the Xbox Series S this Amazon Prime Day?

• Launch MSRP: $299
• Current price: $249 (-17%)

The Xbox Series S is the only console being sold for a massive discount in the ongoing sale. We spotted the budget Microsoft console for $250, which makes it $50 cheaper than its launch MSRP. However, this discount is available in the Dell store, ironically. Other leading storefronts like Best Buy and Amazon have the console for about $300 a pop.
