The Black Friday PS5 deals are almost here and you can feel the momentum gathering pace. Retailers will now start vying for your hard-earned cash by releasing deals, discounts, and price guarantees from now on, and we're starting to see some tempting propositions.

If you've delayed upgrading from a PS4, are considering jumping into PS5 for the first time, upgrading to PS5 Pro, or thinking of a gift for a friend or family member, this year's Black Friday deals are likely to be the best time of year to get PS5 hardware, accessories, or games for their lowest ever prices - or at least at severely discounted prices.

With folks able to buy a PS5 Pro easily now, we're hoping that this could mean discounts on the normal PS5 and great offers on bundles of the current Slim model in particular.

We also know that retailers will start to offer their Black Friday deals and guarantees in a matter of days: Best Buy goes live on November 8, Walmart goes live on November 11, and Currys in the UK will now match or refund any differences between prices from now until December 2, for example. This means you can have great confidence in your purchases from now on too.

Regardless of what you're after though, this is a great place to swot up on the best early offerings, what we can expect this year, as well as a quick look and reminder at the deals that occurred last year.

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.
