What kind of Black Friday PS5 controller deals should I expect?
Black Friday PS5 controller deals are often some of the best across the whole sales event. I would expect to see a wide range of DualSense Wireless Controller variants discounted. Exciting colorways like Sterling Silver and Cosmic Red can often come at quite a premium, but are likely to be heavily discounted.
You should also prepare for a few select bundles that allow you to save on a top game too. This is very likely to be the case when it comes to recent sports games like EA College Football 24. The recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 could also be a favorite.
