The best PS4 console deals in December 2024
All the best PS4 console deals in December
The best PS4 console deals might be a tempting proposition if you want to save money compared to buying the more expensive, but much more recent PS5. Although there are rarely many immediate discounts on Sony's last-generation console, we are still seeing the occasional bundle that is worth keeping an eye on pop up from time to time. If you're looking for Sony's latest machine then check in with our PS5 bundles and deals page.
As well as the option of a brand-new PS4, there are also second-hand or refurbished consoles available at specialist stores. With these, you can pick up a PS4 for even less. So, if you're happy to do that, it can be a good way to play some of the best PS4 games and some recent PlayStation exclusives without breaking the bank.
Either way, you can check out all of the best PS4 deals right here. That includes any consoles and bundles that are still available, as well as some top games and accessories.
PS4 console deals in the US
New PS4s are getting increasingly hard to come by but, if you're a shopper in the US, you still have a few options. Official stock at PlayStation Direct hasn't been available for some time, but it might be worth checking back in every now and again to see if it has come back.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for second-hand or refurbished consoles if you want to get a bigger saving at the likes of GameStop and Amazon.
PlayStation 4 (Renewed): from $174.95 at Amazon
If you want to make a serious saving on a PS4 console, then refurbished (or renewed) is the way to go right now. You're getting a second-hand console, but at under $200 it's hard to argue with the value here.
PlayStation 4 Pro (Renewed): from $239.99 at Amazon
Another saving on a refurbished (renewed) PS4, albeit this time the more powerful Pro variant. The PS4 Pro can play select games at 4K and features a larger 1TB hard drive. It's still an old model compared to the PS5, but it's more powerful hardware is going to be a bit more future proof.
PS4 console deals in the UK
There are some PS4 consoles that are still in stock at Sony's official PlayStation Direct store in the UK. As in the US, there are also lots of second-hand consoles, so we've included some of the cheapest prices we've spotted right now for those if you want to save a little extra.
PlayStation 4: from £259.99 at PlayStation Direct
Some brand-new PS4 consoles are also available right now in the UK at the official PlayStation Direct store. As the standard PS4 it doesn't support 4K gaming but is good for the classics and some more modern games that have also been released for the last generation console such as Horizon Forbidden West.
PlayStation Slim (Pre-owned): from £89.99 at Game
Game has a few second-hand PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro consoles in stock right now. The condition is labelled as 'fair' which describes a fully functional console but one that has a few cosmetic imperfections such as scuffs and marks. We've specifically selected the Slim model here as, at under £90, it's pretty unbeatable value.
If you're not in the US or UK, or can't find exactly what you're after above, then check out our price-finding tech below which will present the latest PS4 console deals wherever you are in the world.

PlayStation Plus deals
If you're buying a PS4, you want to pick up a PlayStation Plus membership, too. PlayStation Plus (aka PS Plus or PS+) allows you to play PS4 games online, get access to the Instant Game Collection on PS5 and download a bunch of free games for PS4 each month.
It's recently been overhauled with a bunch of new tiers but you can pick up the Essential membership for around $60/£50. There are regular discounts available, though, so check below for all the latest PlayStation Plus deals.
