This pre-holiday season, Amazon is offering some great deals on consoles and controllers—including PlayStation 5s bundled with a couple of the most sought-after games on the market, and specialized controllers for more immersive simulation. Below are 10 of the best Amazon early Black Friday bargains on game systems and game controllers.

Meta Quest 2 Virtual Reality Headset

The Meta Quest 2 is my pick for Amazon’s best deal for gamers because it’s both a console and a PC gaming accessory. The Quest 2’s standalone VR headset is an experiential gift that will have everyone, even casuals, lining up to give it a try, making for a memorable Christmas morning or Hanukkah evening. But it’s not only a silly novelty—if you have a “serious” PC gamer in your life, the Quest 2 can be linked with their PC for more in-depth virtual reality games like Half-Life: Alex that they’ll be playing long after you drag the tree to the curb. It’s basically two gifts in one, and it’s marked down to only $249 (from $299.99).

PlayStation 5 Console – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Bundle

After years of holiday drought, shoppers should be able to pick up a PlayStation 5 this year without a problem, and Amazon’s Spider-Man 2 bundle will give you the console and one of the most celebrated games of the year to play on it. You can even choose between the regular profile PS5 and the Slim version for the same price: $499 (both were $559.99).

PlayStation 5 Console – Call of Duty Modern Warfare III Bundle

If the gamer in your life isn’t the superhero type, Amazon’s PS5 bundled with the new Call of Duty might be just the ticket. It’s the same price as the Spider-man 2 version—$499—but it comes with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and a voucher for the Lockpick Operator Pack to make the game more fun.
