I’ve never seen PS5 bundles including a full priced game this recent for free

I don’t see too many PS5 bundles gracing US shelves, and I should know - I’m on the hunt for them every week. However, Black Friday is rapidly approaching and now’s the time for savings - I just didn’t think we’d be seeing Spider-Man 2 offers so quickly.  Amazon and Best Buy are both offering a free copy of the latest web slinging adventure with their PS5 consoles this week, packing the highest value I’ve seen in a PS5 bundle to date.

You can grab both the game and console forjust $499.99 right now, with delivery available as soon as tomorrow if you get in quick. Considering this is still a full-priced game, and it’s going to be a stretch to see major discounts on it in upcomingBlack Friday PS5 deals, that’s an incredible offer. Whether you’ve been holding out on the new Spidey title to pick up a new generation device, or you’ve stumbled across a particularly lucrative PS5 bundle just as you start your search for holiday discounts, this is a winner.

PS5 | Marvel Spider-Man 2 |$499.99 at AmazonThis is a fantastic amount of value, with Spider-Man 2 still fetching the full $69 MSRP. That’s to be expected, this is a blockbuster new release after all. However, I certainly wasn’t anticipating PS5 bundles to include the game for free this early on in deals season.

Buy it if:

✅ You enjoyed the original title✅ You want a big open world adventure✅ You enjoy super hero games

Don’t buy it if:

❌ You’d prefer the upcoming Slim design

Price Check:Best Buy: $499.99

Should you buy the Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle before Black Friday?

That said, there are two situations where I’d think twice. The first is if you have no interest in Spider-Man 2. That may seem obvious, but this is the first year we’ve started to see discounts on the PS5 itself (it dropped to $449 over the summer). While the $50 you could save should the console take a straight price cut at the end of the month is less than the $69.99 price of this game, it’s going to be far more valuablefor youin particular. We’re also anticipating more of these PS5 bundles on different titles further down the line as well.

Then we get to the PS5 Slim. Obviously, if you prefer the new design we’d recommend holding off here. It might be ever so slightly more expensive (the stand comes separately), but the value here isn’t enough to warrant a whole different design.
