Sony might have just released thePlayStation 5 Pro, but at $700, it has yet to see any Black Friday deals, and thats not likely to change anytime soon.
Its a good thing, then, that the far more affordable PS5 Slim models originally released last year are stepping up to pick up the slack.
Both the Digital Edition and Disc Edition of the console are on sale across multiple retailers, although youll want to be careful where you buy.
While its pretty self explanatory that only the Disc Edition comes with a disc drive, you could also miss out on a few potential goodies if youre not careful, regardless of which model you pick.
Thats because, whileAmazonandBest Buyare both selling the consoles on their own, there are also bundles available that throw in some extra goodies at no additional cost.
Fortniteplayers will want to opt for theFortniteCobalt Star Bundle, which is available for bothPS5 Slim modelsand throws in 1,000 V-Bucks and some extra cosmetics (Im sure someone younger than me will know whether theyre any good, but hey, theyre worth it for the stunning price of free).
Sports fans, meanwhile, can get a PS5 Slim Digital Edition with a copy ofNBA 2K25direct from PlayStationfor the same price.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an NBA bundle for the model with a disc drive, andadd-on disc drivesare currently not on sale.
All PS5 Slim bundles listed here come with the console in white along with a single DualSense controller, and if youre so inclined, you’ve got the option to alsosave big on the PSVR 2 right now, which will open up your new console to a whole new jot down of game.
In general, these deals knock about $75 off the price of getting a PS5, which puts it in spitting distance of the much less powerfulNintendo Switch OLED’s typical (non-sale) price.
