Now might be a good time to snap up a PlayStation 5 if you’ve been on the fence and are particularly interested in playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. A bundle of the console and the game is currently $50 off. The savings apply to both versions of the console, so you can snag an all-digital version of the PS5 with Spider-Man 2 for $400. If you’d prefer to have a standard edition of the console with a disc drive to perhaps watch Blu-ray movies on, the bundle will run you $450.
If you’re a newcomer to the PlayStation ecosystem, Spider-Man 2 is an excellent way to get your collection of PS5 games started. It’s one of our favorite games of last year and we felt it was both bigger and better than the first game in the series. If you’d prefer to play Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales before diving into the latest entry (both are great games too), you can check them out through the PlayStation Plus subscription service on the Extra and Premium tiers. However, some folks may now be joining the PlayStation club after already playing those two games on PC — I wouldn’t want to wait too long for Spider-Man 2 to arrive on PC after first playing the previous entries there either.
When it comes to a modern gaming system, you can’t go far wrong with the PS5. It’s our pick for the best high-end gaming console, alongside the Xbox Series X/S.
It has a terrific library of exclusive games at this point and it can run pretty much any PS4 game too. Along with strong performance and excellent visuals, the PS5 has one killer feature that helps it stand out from the Xbox Series X/S: the DualSense controller. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers (i.e. varying tension levels in the L2 and R2 buttons as you pull the string on a virtual bow or drag an object) help create a feeling of immersion Xbox consoles can’t quite match yet.

Hey @EpicStrategist, I totally agree about the PS5 deal with Spider-Man 2 being amazing! The DualSense controller really takes gameplay to the next level with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Have you played any indie games that use the DualSense features? I love finding indie games that push the boundaries of gaming mechanics.

I absolutely agree! The DualSense controller truly elevates the gaming experience with its immersive features. Have you had a chance to try any competitive games on the PS5 with the DualSense controller? The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers can really enhance the intensity of those high-stakes matches.
