Best PS5 Black Friday deals <\/p>\n
PS5 Slim disc edition: Was \u00a3479.99, now \u00a3399.99,\u00a0Amazon.co.ukPS5 Slim digital edition console: Was \u00a3389.99, now \u00a3309,\u00a0Amazon.co.ukPlayStation 5 DualSense Edge wireless controller:\u00a0Was \u00a3209.99, now \u00a3179.97,\u00a0Amazon.co.ukPlayStation VR2: Was \u00a3529.99, now \u00a3339, Amazon.co.ukPS5 Slim digital edition console: Was \u00a3389.99, now \u00a3309,\u00a0Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(Sony)The all-digital PS5 Slim console has plummeted to an all-time low price for Black Friday, saving you a massive \u00a380 While it doesn\u2019t come with a disc drive, you can always add one on at a later date, plus the new PS5 Slim comes with more internal storage, so you can keep even more games on the system. It boasts the same specs as the disc edition console.<\/p>\n
(Amazon)The PS5 Slim disc edition console has been slashed to its all-time low price, falling to under \u00a3400 for the very first time. This model, with the ability to read Blu-Ray discs, is essential for anyone whose library of games and movies is still physical. It\u2019s the only PS5 console that still comes with a detachable disc drive as standard \u2013 not even the PS5 Pro has one of those. \u201cA catalogue of exclusive games \u2013 many of them truly unmissable experiences \u2013 gives the PS5 a slight edge over the (technically more powerful) Xbox Series X.,\u201d tech writer Steve wrote in\u00a0his review.<\/p>\n
(Sony)Despite only launching a week ago, the EE Store has already slashed the price of the PS5 Pro by \u00a340 in its Black Friday sale, taking it down to just \u00a3660. Boasting 8K graphics, more internal memory, improved ray tracing and upscaling through Sony\u2019s PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology, it\u2019s a powerhouse of a games console, blowing the\u00a0Xbox Series X\u00a0out of the water. It also comes with 2TB of internal storage, so you can store even more games.<\/p>\n
(PlayStation)Here\u2019s the first major discount I\u2019ve ever seen on the PSVR2. The virtual reality headset turns your PlayStation 5 into an IMAX-sized cinema screen, unlocks new VR experiences in existing games, such as Gran Turismo 7, Resident Evil 4 and No Man\u2019s Sky, and is home to a selection of exclusive VR titles, such as the vertigo-inducing Horizon Call of the Mountain. At \u00a3339, Sony\u2019s next-generation virtual reality headset is cheaper than ever.<\/p>\n
PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller: Was \u00a362.48, now \u00a339.99, Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(PlayStation)PlayStation\u2019s Black Friday sale includes a whopping discount on the PS5\u2019s DualSense controller. The tech-heavy pad is crammed with all manner of haptic feedback motors, dynamic triggers, a built-in speaker and a touchpad \u2013 I doubt Sony\u2019s turning a profit on them at \u00a339.99. Most colourways have been discounted, so do check before you buy.<\/p>\n
PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge wireless controller: Was \u00a3209.99, now \u00a3179.97, Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(PlayStation)The DualSense Edge is Sony\u2019s pro-level controller designed with the needs of esports players in mind. The premium pad lets you tweak things to suit your playstyle, remapping controls, instantly switching between gaming profiles, and adjusting trigger sensitivities and thumbstick dead zones. As a niche product, it\u2019s appropriately pricey but now the DualSense Edge is cheaper than ever in the Black Friday sale.<\/p>\n
PlayStation Pulse Elite gaming headset: Was \u00a3124.96, now \u00a3100, Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(PlayStation)Designed to connect seamlessly using Sony\u2019s proprietary PlayStation Link protocol, the Pulse Elite gaming headset delivers lossless 3D audio, studio-grade sound quality courtesy of Audeze, an AI-powered noise-cancelling boom mic and multi-point connectivity for switching between the PS5, the PlayStation Portal or any Bluetooth-capable device. It\u2019s cheaper than ever at \u00a3100 in Sony\u2019s Black Friday sale.<\/p>\n
PlayStation Pulse Explore wireless earbuds: Was \u00a3183.28, now \u00a3149, Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(PlayStation)Just like the Pulse headset, the PS5\u2019s super-sleek-looking companion earbuds use Sony\u2019s PlayStation Link protocol to give you an unbeatable low-latency connection to your game\u2019s audio. The PlayStation Pulse Explore buds are more compact and comfortable to wear for long sessions, though the five-hour battery life and lack of noise isolation make them less suited for general uses such as commuting. Right now, you can pick up a pair with a modest saving of 19 per cent.<\/p>\n
Western Digital WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB M.2 SSD: Was \u00a3402.07, now \u00a3129.25, Amazon.co.uk<\/p>\n
(Amazon)Save a massive 68 per cent on Western Digital\u2019s WD_BLACK SN850X internal SSD for the PS5. With an integrated heatsink, it\u2019ll always run at peak performance. You can load up games directly from the SSD with minimal lag, low latency and short load times with speeds up to 7,300 MB\/s. If you\u2019re running out of space on your PS5, this 2TB drive will be plenty enough for all your AAA games.<\/p>\n
Best PS5 games Black Friday deals <\/p>\n
(EA)While this 43 per cent discount on\u00a0FC 25\u00a0is for the PS4 version, the game now comes with dual-entitlement, meaning you can buy the PS4 version and upgrade to the PS5 version at no extra cost, FC 25 boasts the biggest shake-up to the Fifa franchise in years. This isn\u2019t just the same game with players donning new kits. There\u2019s a new game mode, a new FC IQ system, new player roles, better tactical options and new game mechanics. If you haven\u2019t yet laced up your boots, now\u2019s the perfect time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
(Amazon)Returnal was one of the PS5\u2019s earliest exclusives when it was first introduced, and has been a sought-after game in the roguelike genre. Gaming expert Jasper Pickering described the game in his review as having \u201cstunning visuals\u201d and \u201cfast-paced gameplay\u201d. \u201cPlayers take control of Selene as she crashes her spaceship on the planet Atropos,\u201d he wrote. \u201cEvery time she dies, time loops back to the point of impact and she must find a way to survive long enough and escape the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
