What kind of Black Friday PS5 deals should I expect?
This Black Friday marks the beginning of the fifth year of Sony's current-gen console, and the first year of the PS5 Pro's existence. As a result of the latter being released, we're hopeful of seeing some great price cuts and bundles on the regular PS5 (the Slim model), and it could mark the best time ever to jump into PS5.
Elsewhere we're almost certain to see swathes of cuts across PS5 games, headsets, controllers - DualSense discounts could be particularly attractive - internal and external storage solutions, and more.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a PS5?
If you've waited until October or November time to potentially buy a PS5 then the Black Friday PS5 deals is definitely the best time to purchase Sony's current-generation console. While the resit of the year is never a stranger to occasional price drop on the console, it's at Black Friday that we regularly see new or record-equalling low prices on the console as well as attractive bundles too.
This might not be the case for the recently released PS5 Pro but we're hopeful of more bundles appearing for that premium console too.
