Amazing Deal PS5 Digital Edition deal
Best Buy

If you’ve been waiting for a PS5 price that feels straightforward and worth jumping on, this is it. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition 825GB (Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle) is down to $399.99 (was $499.99), saving you $100. And here’s the key point: this is a genuinely good deal even if you don’t care about Fortnite. The bundle bonus is nice if you’ll use it, but the real win is getting a PS5 Digital for $399.99, which is the kind of price that makes the console feel less like a luxury purchase and more like a smart buy.

What you’re getting

You’re getting a PS5 Digital Edition with 825GB storage, which means it’s built for people who buy and download games rather than collecting discs. It’s the cleanest setup: no physical media, quick access to your library, and easy switching between games.

The included Fortnite bundle is basically extra value on top. If you play Fortnite, great. If you don’t, you can treat it as a free add-on and focus on what matters: you’re still getting the console at a meaningful discount.

Why it’s worth it

A $100 price cut is the kind of discount that actually changes the decision. It can cover a game, a second controller, or a chunk of a subscription, which means you’re not just saving money on paper—you’re reducing the “all-in” cost of getting started.

This deal also makes sense because the PS5 Digital Edition is ideal for modern buying habits. A lot of the best deals and convenience are in digital storefront sales anyway, and if you already know you’re not a disc person, there’s no reason to pay extra for a disc drive you won’t use.

The only real caution is that you should be sure you’re comfortable going all-digital. If you like trading games, borrowing discs, or buying physical copies on sale, you’ll probably want the disc version instead.

The bottom line

At $399.99, this is a strong buy if you want a PS5 and you’re fine going all-digital, and it’s worth grabbing even if the Fortnite extras don’t matter to you. If you want physical discs in your life, the bundle is still tempting, but you should hold out for a similar discount on the disc model.

I hate scalpers, and Valve’s Steam Machine queue is exactly what we need
Valve may have found the right way to sell the Steam Machine
Steam Machine with Steam Controller

I hate scalpers. I especially hate scalpers when they swarm gaming hardware that already has limited availability. They buy it before regular customers and gamers can get a fair shot, and then relist it at cartoonish prices for the people who actually wanted to use it. We've seen this issue time and time again, but Valve's latest move might be the best anti-scalper weapon I've seen in a while.

Steam’s database now suggests Valve may already have a reservation queue system prepared for the upcoming Steam Machine. The discovery reportedly comes from a recent Steam update spotted by user Pepeizq, in which references to multiple Steam Machine packages appeared within the same reservation system code used for the Steam Controller.

Wordle is getting a TV show on NBC, and it already feels like a betrayal

Every morning, millions of people open Wordle, stare at a blank grid, and spend a few quiet minutes locked in a private battle with the five letters.

There is no host narrating your every move, no studio audience gasping when you waste a guess on a word, and absolutely nobody cheering you on. Just you, the word, and the slightly smug satisfaction of getting it right under three attempts.
