It’s no secret that physical PlayStation 5 games are expensive right now, but Amazon has plunged the price of several major releases in the US if you’re looking to pick up physical copies. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition (which includes Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered), for example, is down to $49.99, as is Demon’s Souls.
Meanwhile, Returnal – which only launched a couple of months ago – is down to $49.99, while you can snag Godfall for just $25.00. Obviously, given the high launch prices these are still pretty expensive, but it’s the first significant sale we’ve seen on PS5 software, and if you’ve been holding out for any of these titles it may be worth pouncing now, during Amazon Prime Day 2021.

Unfortunately, the same discounts don’t apply in the UK, where Returnal has had its price slashed to just £64.98, which sadly isn’t a great deal. You can get Demon’s Souls for £55.99, though, which we guess is marginally better if you’re on British shores.

That's all good and well for people who are still trying to get, or have just got a PS5, but not for those of us who had to pay £70 a game.
I highly expect Godfall to become a PS+ game at some point. I'll wait until then to try it again.
Annoyingly for me, but good for those that don't have it, ratchet is £55 on base.com

@Rob_230 I've started to use Base.com a lot lately. They seem to be a lot cheaper than places like Shop.to.
@Rob_230 That's a great price!
Wow, they really don’t like us in the UK do they?
Miles Morales Ultimate Edition was £45 from Amazon for a period in February. Sometimes the Prime Day deals aren’t always that great, perhaps it worth shopping around before jumping on some of these deals.
@get2sammyb @GoodGame yeah, Base have really been coming through with excellent prices for launch titles - usually 10 pounds less than anywhere else i've seen. I've been using them since the back end of the PS4 generation and they are really reliable too.
Shopto.net remains the place to go for bargins on PSN credit though!
Sure would be nice if the Sony digital store didn’t suck so bad and had deals like this. Their “deal” on Demon’s Souls was $60.
@Rob_230 Yes, I always get 12 month Plus from Shop.To
@Rob_230 I bought ME LE from them a month back for around £48 Inc delivery. Received it the following day.
Very happy with that deal.
@Rob_230 Agreed about ShopTo for PSN credit. I got £70 worth for just over £60 and bought R&C Rfit Apart (digital)
Godfall still way too high in price
So tempted to get Returnal at that price, but I know I should wait until it drops a little more.
Very nice. Why I will never go full digital hardware. Burn on both ends when it comes to sales.
Tesco has R&C for 59.99 as well and thats without a discount. If you know anyone who work for them they can get you 20% discount on that during their pay day week. Any other week its 10% discount (God bless my sister in law).
Cdkeys are about the only place that beats shopto for easy discount on PSN credit - until recently you could save 15% off their £100 code.
There are places where you can get 20%+ off but you need to be monitoring them regularly.
@Col_McCafferty Wow. Absolute bargin for literally hundreds of hours of entertainment!
@Deadlyblack I recommend waiting. I and a handful of friends have played it and I was the only one who thought it was okay, the rest kinda hated it. I beat it three times and felt they tried to pad it’s time to validate it’s price.
I said I thought it was okay earlier, but it’s more of a game that is fun and extremely aggravating at the same time. It was a 7/10 for me. I beat it 3 times. It felt like a game that is traditionally priced around 40 dollars brand new.
Upsetting to see Returnal so cheap, so fast: especially since I had to uninstall the game bc it was hard crashing my PS5. I think I’m officially done paying full price for PS5 games. Haven’t even opened my copy of R&C, might just return it… 🤷🏻♂️
Those US/UK prices are farcical.
Daylight robbery, and has been for years.
@Total_Weirdo Their gross margin on digital games has to be insane.
Got a nice deal at my local electronics retailer Media Markt. They sold ratchet and clank and the black dualsense bundled for 99€. Glad I still got it seeing it's not in Stock anymore.
Been using base.com for a little while now - how come they can sell them so 'cheap' yet presumably still make a profit on them to make it worthwhile.
@Deadlyblack
IMO, it’s worth 70.
It’s a wonderful game.
I got my copy used at GameStop. I was picking up the last of us part ii for 30 and they had a special where you got any used game for 30% off with the purchase of a new game. So I only paid about 48 bucks for it.
@Total_Weirdo
I agree, that news was unexpected, so I'm sure Gearbox will want to try and get as much money as they can first.
It's not a horrible game, just nothing really special outside of the pretty graphics. Definitely not worth the next gen games price point.
For those of us who prefer to have their libraries entirely digital, we will be waiting a good time for good deals on these games. I typically only buy games when they are half off MSRP or more. I have a ton of other things to play, so no rush to buy anything. Additionally, by the time the prices drop that far, the game is likely to be in a much better state.
Once again the UK gets screwed with prices
@Would_you_kindl
Simple just wait to buy will come down sooner or later usually sooner lol I have got every next gen game and only payed full price for one and that was a waste. Looking at u spiderman should been dlc lol . Just waiting for last on to go down r/c won't be long
Amazon UK, pah!
Base.com has had great deals on pre-orders, £10 to £15 cheaper than anywhere else.
Got Mass Effect Legend for £46, played 30 hours on 1, 38 hours on 2, and 40+ on 3.
Then sold it on for £40.
100+ hours of M E gaming bliss for £6!
Price slashed to 64,98. What a world!
Said it from the beginning the real point of the $70 prices was slightly to milk the whales, and mostly to bolster "sale" prices back to "actual prices" for a longer period of time before real discounts. Release games at obscene prices, milk the impatient whales with more money than sense, then put them on "sale" often (down to what the old normal price was) then start actually discounting after 6 months to a year. They didn't raise prices unless you have absolutely no self control whatsoever. They just extended the duration of the price curve.
I missed out on these deals due to lack of money, but there's always Black Friday/Holiday sales.
Happy to pick up GodFall for $25.00. Same price i payed for Marvel Avengers physical.
