The PS5 has been out for a while, which means that PS4 prices are dropping. If the person you’re gifting to doesn’t own the console, get this Slim bundle. Not only does it include three multi-awarded Sony exclusive games (The Last of Us, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn) but also a 1TB hard drive. With some triple-A titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake requiring around 100GB of space, a 1TB hard drive will let them store a lot of great games.

Most Nintendo Switch special edition models, like the Animal Crossing New Horizons Nintendo Switch, don’t have the game included in its package. However, the Fortnite version does. This bundle, in particular, includes Wildcat cosmetics, like the Sleek Strike Back Bling and the Wildcat Outfit. This limited edition model comes with a yellow and blue joycon pair as well as a Fortnite-decorated Nintendo Switch dock.
