Update March 25th, 2021 9:38AM ET: Target has sold out of both PS5 models.

If you have been keeping up with PS5 news, you will know that it is nearly impossible to find this console right now because of the short supply and mostly online-only sales. If you want another shot at trying to buy Sony’s next-gen console, you can buy the $400 all-digital edition or the $500 PS5 console, which includes a disc drive right now at Target.

It is important to note that Target only has the console available at select locations.

$400

Sony’s flagship next-gen console, starting at $399.99. The biggest difference between both models is the Digital Edition can only play digital games, while the $500 PS5 includes a disc drive, allowing you to play both digital and physical games.

If you are one of the lucky ones to secure your unit in the latest restocks, I have a few suggestions on some additional items you may want to buy. You’ll likely want to buy some games for your new console. The PS5 is home to some of the most popular titles right now, such as 2020 remake of Demon’s Souls, as well as some other fun games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

$32

The latest Assassin’s Creed has you exploring an open-world environment that’s full of Vikings, Norse mythology, and beautiful vistas.

Some games require an online subscription to play, so a subscription to PlayStation Plus is a good purchase. But you’re not just paying to play most games (excluding free-to-play titles) online, as PS5 users with an active PS Plus subscription also have access to a digital library of PS4 classics thanks to the PlayStation Plus Collection.

$60

A membership to PlayStation Plus Essential allows PlayStation 4 and PS5 owners to play games online, download free titles every month, use cloud save backups, and take advantage of discounts on the PS Store.

If you are looking to buy a new TV that will take advantage of the next-gen hardware, Best Buy has a deal on a 65-inch 4K OLED on sale for $1,500.

$1200

Vizio is a newcomer to the OLED TV space, but it’s using the same beautiful LG panel as everyone else — and pricing it for much less. The Vizio OLED should be a perfect fit for either the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, thanks to its fluid 120Hz 4K gaming capabilities, and the perfect blacks will make your Netflix content look great, too.
