Looking for a decent deal on a PlayStation 5 in the UK before Black Friday proper hits? Well the online EE Store has the best deal on a PS5 overall right now, and there’s plenty more where that came from. There’s a ridiculous amount of console, PSVR2, PS Portal, DualSense and accessory deal in their Early Black Friday offers, so you might aswell get yourself sorted right now. If you’d sooner pay monthly, there’s plenty of discounted deals live right now too, so let’s get straight into it:
The Best PS5 Early Black Friday Deal in the UK
Even if you don’t like Football or sports games in general, this PS5 Slim Digital console with a digital code for FC 26 is a banger of a deal for £285. You’re usually talking around £400 for just the console on any given day, so £115 off with the option to add a disk drive on later on is ridiculous. Whilst I’d love someone to come along and beat this deal, I very much doubt it’s going to happen during Black Friday 2025.
More PS5 Console Deals
Don’t fancy going all digital? No problem, there’s plenty of other deals knocking around on EE for PS5 right now. The thought of bagging a PS5 Pro with a game boxed in for £585 is mental, which is also cheaper than a bog standard Xbox Series X. It would be rude not to, right? If you’re not bothered about FC 26, you can just get the PS5 Pro on its own and save £10, winner.
If you fancy something different and love Ghost of Yōtei, the gold limited edition console is £90 off rocking a tidy £428 price tag, which is £53 more than the standard Slim Disk PS5. So it’s down to you is cosmetic are that much important, but it’s cheaper than reshelling a DualSense and PS5 if you was thinking of saving money that way.
Pay Monthly PS5 Deals
It’s always best practice to buy things outright, but it’s not always practical. If you’re in that boat EE have some decent early Black Friday deals on 24 month contract console deals, and they’ve all got some decent stuff bundled in. Unlike buying things outright from EE Store, contract console deals are only available to EE customers as a bill add on.
The cheapest option here is the PS5 Digital Slim, which works out at £466 by the time you’ve paid it off but comes with a £100 PSN voucher to get a years PlayStation+ Extra subscription. So you’ll be paying £366 for the console. That’s £86 more than just buying the Black Friday deal above outright, but you’re getting the convenience of monthly payments.
PS5 DualSense and Controller Deals
Some cool options and deals here to, with the best being a DualSense Edge controller for under £170, crazy talk. This bad boy has fully adjustable triggers and remappable buttons with a longer battery life to boot. Don’t want to shell out so much for a controller? The standard DualSense is down to £42, with an extra £4 scoring you the Chroma edition. If you liked the look of that Ghost of Yōtei PS5 you can just pick up the DualSense controller instead for £55, £20 off it’s usual price.
PSVR2, Portal and Accessory Deals
IF you want to go all in with the full PlayStation 5 lineup, it’s going to cost you significantly less with these early Black Friday deals. PSVR2 is down to £299.99, that’s a massive £100 off. If you also fancy making the most out of PlayStation+ Premium’s cloud gaming feature, PS Portal is the best way to do it. It’s now down to £175, £25 off its full fat price. The Pulse bluetooth headset and earbuds are down too, now at £105 and £165 respectfully.
PSVR 2 and Portal Pay Monthly Deals
You can also take out a 24 months pay monthly deal on PSVR2 and PlayStation Portal. It’s going to cost more than just buying them as expected, but you do get a £50 EE Gamecard. This can be redeemed on games, subscription and other gaming gubbins on the EE Game Store which is a bonus. All need £10 upfront, then the PS Portal is £12 PM and PSVR2 is £22 PM.
