Quick Summary
Sony has kickstarted its PlayStation Black Friday sale with a bang – get £65 off the PS5 Slim, up to £220 off the PSVR2, and £20 off a DualSense Edge controller.
There are also discounts on 100s of games and PS Plus.
The Black Friday sales are well underway, well ahead of the actual day itself, and PlayStation has now joined in the fun.
Following Microsoft, which kicked off its Xbox games sale a week ago, the PlayStation Store is offering big money off discounts across 100s of digital games. PS5, PS5 Pro and PS4 owners can find them listed on their consoles now.
In addition, the official PlayStation Black Friday page has been updated with links to all the deals. And that includes the PS5 Slim console.
It's now £65 / $75 cheaper when bought directly from PlayStation. However, you can even find it cheaper elsewhere – Amazon in the UK has slashed £80 off, for example.
The latest version of the PS5 is slimmer and more compact than the original model, but still plays all the same games in the same fashion. It also comes with a 4K Blu-ray drive as standard.
The PlayStation sale runs through until the end of play 2 December 2024 (Cyber Monday) and also includes other devices – such as the PSVR2 headset – which has as much as £220 / $250 off.
The DualSense Edge pro controller is also available with a discount for the first time. As with standard DualSense controllers, there's £20 off in the UK. Although, like the PS5 Slim, you can find it even cheaper elsewhere.
The DualSense Edge is the very best controller you can get for your PlayStation 5 or PS5 Pro. It has multiple modes for customisation, while you can swap out the thumbstick modules that will make it last longer.
There are plenty of other deals across the whole of PlayStation's online store although none on the PS5 Pro – although that's to be expected considering how new it is.
