The Disc model, priced at $449.99, is currently available at Best Buy, while the Digital Edition, priced at $399.99, can be found at Amazon with wider availability expected soon.

What sets this bundle apart is the inclusion of Astro Bot at no additional cost—essentially a free $70 game bundled with your console.

In his review for IGN, Simon Cardy awarded Astro Bot a 9, describing it as one of the most joyful gaming experiences: "Astro Bot made me smile from beginning to end. A collection of endlessly inventive levels and fantastically fun abilities, it delivers joy in spades, never once becoming even remotely dull or repetitive. And while you don’t need a long history with Sony systems to enjoy it, it is especially a delight for those with a piece of PlayStation in their heart as a treasure trove full of playable nostalgia awaits."

"Taking the PS5 marketing mantra that 'play has no limits' more seriously than you’d expect, Team Asobi has crafted a mascot platformer that goes near enough toe-to-toe with Nintendo's best efforts, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give it."

For those still undecided about purchasing a PS5, this bundle presents a strong case. It's undoubtedly one of the best PS5 deals available right now. Astro Bot isn't just a great game—it's a celebration of everything PlayStation does best, making it an ideal showcase for Sony's current-generation hardware.
