It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another roundup of the week’s best tech deals. This week’s highlights include a small but rare discount on Sony’s PlayStation 5, as a bundle that includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is $50 off and down to $450 at Best Buy. If you don’t need a new game console, Apple’s AirPods Pro are back at an all-time low of $189, while Amazon’s Echo Show 8 and Fire TV Stick 4K Max are at respective lows of $90 and $40. A number of recommended Anker accessories are on sale as well, including the Soundcore Space A40, our favorite budget earbuds, down to $53 and the PowerConf C200, one of our favorite webcams, down to $48. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still buy today.
Sony
Best Buy is selling a PlayStation 5 bundle that pairs the “slim” version of the console with a digital copy of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for $450. That’s only a $50 discount, but steeper price drops are still rare four years into the PS5’s life. We called Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 a “perfectly balanced” action game in our review last year. More generally, the PS5 has built up a decent library of exclusives since arriving in 2020, with hits like God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, Helldivers 2 and the just-released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It still works with almost every PS4 game as well. The model on sale here takes up 30 percent less volume than the original PS5, according to Sony, plus it comes with two USB-C ports instead of one. It also has a disc drive, so you won’t be locked into digital purchases and can watch Blu-ray movies.

The Anker PowerConf C200 webcam is on sale for $48 at Amazon and Anker’s online store, which is $12 off its usual going rate and the second-best price we’ve seen. At Anker, use the code WS7DKJVFEN at checkout. The PowerConf is the runner up in our webcam buying guide thanks to its easy setup, crisp video quality (even in poor lighting) and decent mics. It can record up to a 2K resolution, plus it has a sliding privacy cover built in. Just note that its USB cable is on the shorter side, and the whole thing is a bit clunky to adjust once it’s set up, with no way to swivel side to side.
