The thrill of a new PlayStation 5 is about to get more expensive. If you've been eyeing a PS5 console or the PlayStation Portal, today is last day to snag one before a significant price hike. Starting tomorrow, April 2, expect to pay up to $150 more for these sought-after gaming devices.
This isn't a sudden whim; it's a ripple effect from rising chip and storage costs, compounded by tariffs and the console's enduring popularity. But here's the silver lining: you can still beat the price increase. Sony's Direct PlayStation store is offering certified refurbished consoles that are tested to perform like new and come with a one-year warranty. This is your final opportunity to save.
