Hi folks,
Should we be expecting any decent boxing day deals for PS5 consoles?
From what I can tell they're mostly sold in bundles these days. Perhaps we can consolidate any such deals in this thread?

There's pretty much zero chance of any PS5 deals, other than if you can get one with points at shoppers or get 20X points when buying one. Other than that nobody is going to put on sale something that is already flying off the shelves.
I guess you might see one without a game, but that's not much a of "deal"

I'll be hella surprised if there are any deals. The best deal so far is the costco bundle with 2 controllers and a headset

Sony jacked up the price earlier this year. Can't see them dropping it until the Pro version gets released and even that is iffy...

There were lots at my local Gamestop here in Thunder Bay. They must have received a huge shipment as they still had some left when I was there at 5 PM...

From the photos posted in the Costco FB groups around here, the bundle is $837. Not a deal at all, unless someone is desperate for a PS5.

Just saw a PS5 in it's display case at SDM here in Thunder Bay. They can't be too hard to find, even for a last minute Christmas present...

It's sort of funny that the "Best Buy Boxing Day Top Deal" is a PS4 1TB bundled with CoD MW2.

The “deal” is that you might be lucky enough to find a bundle in stock with extra controllers and charging pads that you’re being charged full price for and don’t want.
