If you have a gamer on your gift list whose main platform is the PlayStation , it's the perfect time to get them the latest games and accessories as well as consoles bundled with digital downloads of popular titles.
While Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the biggest shopping days of the year, you can find great PS5 discounts at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. You can even find steep discounts on digital downloads of full games, DLC, and in-game cosmetics and currency on the PlayStation Store. To help you check everything off your shopping list without breaking the bank, I've put together a list of the very best deals I could find on PS5 consoles, games, and accessories like controllers and headsets.
Amazon has opened up pre-orders on the PlayStation 5 Pro console. And with their pre-order price guarantee, you'll get a refund on your account if the cost goes up between the time you put in your pre-order and when your card is charged. The PlayStation 5 Pro console has 2TB of internal storage and support for 120Hz native refresh rates.
The Samsung 990 Pro lets you instantly add 4TB of storage to your PS5, giving you plenty of space for large game downloads, transferring save files, organizing your media library, and backing up your favorite games.
This high-end wireless headset is the official companion for the PS5 console, featuring 360-degree spatial sound, noise cancellation, and both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity.
The Razer Kaira Pro is a high-end wireless gaming headset, built with 50mm audio drivers, a detachable microphone, and dual Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity. It even supports haptic feedback for a more immersive experience.
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, it will fall on Nov. 29, 2024. And while day-of is when most of the best deals and discounts will go live, you can still find great sales at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart to get a jump on your holiday gift shopping.
They can be! The holiday shopping season is usually when you'll see the most sales and biggest discounts on games, consoles, and accessories to take advantage of the large volume of shoppers. You may be able to even snag a console bundled with a free game, extra controller, or both if you keep a sharp eye out at your favorite retailers.
We're all aware that scalpers and resellers can be a pain at any time during the year when you're trying to buy a new console or popular game. And it's doubly true during the holiday shopping season. I've done my best to vet each deal to ensure the products are sold and shipped by reputable retailers and authorized resellers. I've also kept tabs on retail and sale pricing in the weeks leading up to Black Friday 2024 in order to find actual deals and not false discounts where games and consoles are marked up and then "reduced" to their original retail price to fool consumers.
Nope! The PS Store is free to access for anyone as long as you have a PlayStation console and online account. The PS Store has monthly rotating deals, a category for games under $20, fan favorite titles, and even a select back catalogue of classic PS1/2/3 games. But if you want access to even better discounts and exclusive free games every month along with online multiplayer, it's worth at least investing in the PlayStation Plus Essential membership, which is the basic package. The PlayStation Plus Extra tier gets you access to the entire PS4 catalogue, and the Premium membership gets you access to the entire Classics Catalogue as well as exclusive demos and discounts.
Right now, you can save 30% on a PS Plus Premium membership when billed annually, bringing the yearly subscription price to just $112, then $160 per year after that. You can also save 25% on the PS Plus Extra tier (again, when billed yearly), which brings the price to $101, then $135 annually after that.
